 Up for sale is a 1998 Lexus LS400. It's black/gray on black. Here are a few of the highlights:

  • 87k miles
  • Major accident free
  • Upgraded Nakamichi audio
  • 98-00 model years received more hp/tq (290/300) as well as a revised 5-speed transmission ( I average 25+ mpg on the highway with a 15-year old V8!)
Exterior condition is about what one would expect for a 15-year old car that has been parked outside in the city. There are a few dings and dents and the front and rear bumpers have scratches and scrapes; I tried to highlight the damage as best I could in the pictures below. With that said, it's still a very presentable car. The interior shows a bit of wear as well, mostly on the driver seat bolster. The leather is still intact with no holes or rips. The front and rear passenger seats are in great shape as well as the rest of the interior. All buttons and switches are present and they function as they should. Any potential buyer should understand that this is a used car, so please don't expect showroom new.

Mechanically, the car has no current issues. However, it will be due for the 90k-mile water pump replacement soon. An oil change is also due in a few hundred miles, but I can have that done for the prospective buyer at no charge. The suspension feels soft, but I'm not sure if it's due to age or if that's just how an LS400 is supposed to ride. When I bought the car, the pre-purchase inspection noted the following items be replaced:
  • Outer ball joints (not done)
  • Strut bars (not done)
  • Y-pipe (done 1/2/13)
  • Serpentine belt (done 1/7/13)
  • Passenger mirror motor (mirror assembly replaced 1/6/13)

I purchased the car from an individual in New York in December of 2012. It passed the pre-purchase inspection at Bay Ridge Lexus, so I drove it back to Baltimore with no problem. The work performed above was done to pass MD state inspection and I've had no issues with the car since then. The tires only have a few thousand miles on them, and are a full matching set of Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-2s. The brakes have full stopping power without fade or noise. The fluids are all within limits; all electrical items work as they should; all lights are functional. It is truly ready to drive anywhere.

To complete the sale, I require a Paypal deposit of $500 at the conclusion of the auction, with the remaining balance due within 7 days in the form of a cashier's check or wire transfer. The car will not leave my possession unless those terms have been met. Feel free to ask any questions and good luck!

Next Lexus RX previewed with JDM Toyota Harrier?

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

Japanese site CarWatch has revealed images of the next-generation Toyota Harrier, known to US and European buyers as the Lexus RX. The new model features a considerably more aggressive fascia in keeping with some of the latest Lexus design trends, while the back features a pair of wide, wraparound taillights.
The profile features a revised greenhouse, with a rather complex rear window treatment, while a subtle character line connects the front and rear taillights. According to the badging, the model shown features a hybrid powertrain, although there's little information on which engine is being used. We'd wager it's an evolution of the same 3.5-liter V6 hybrid found in the current RX450h.
This early look doesn't have a great deal of other info, and there are no images of the interior. We're not yet clear on how closely the North American RX will adhere to the Harrier seen here, but historically the two models have been quite close. That said, we'd expect a more prominent 'spindle' grille on the Lexus version than the baleen strainer on the vehicle shown here.

Lexus coupe caught in spy shots actually RC, headed for Tokyo reveal?

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

Lexus may have pulled a fast one on us. The car our spy shooters spotted yesterday may not, in fact, be an IS F Coupe as we indicated. Rather, the car shown above may be a new model, dubbed RC, that will arrive at this year's Tokyo Motor Show.
Following a report from Automotive News, the RC is believed to be a pure coupe, rather than a hardtop convertible. This gels with information provided on the IS sedan's launch, when Lexus spokespeople said the IS Convertible would remain on the current platform. With styling based on the LF-CC from the 2012 Paris show, the new car will share a rear-drive platform with the IS and GS sedans.
Power is expected to come from a 3.5-liter V6 that turns out 306 horsepower. That car will likely wear the RC 350 badge. A hybrid model is expected to follow, but in a twist, it won't be coming to the US. The big news, though, is that the RC will spawn an RC F.
