Beautiful 1998 Lexus LS400

Up for your consideration is a very clean 1998 Lexus LS400 in Antique Sterling Metallic.

Maintenance and Exterior

The car is fantastic mechanical shape and has low miles. I get amazing gas mileage and really baby the car. You can see from the photo I am averaging around 25 mpg. I am usually anywhere from 22-25 mpg. The major service (timing belt, etc.) was done at 89,800 miles (see photo). In the past week I just found out the car needs a O2 sensor but everything else checks out great.

As far as fluids go, I run Amsoil synthetic oil because it is the best. I just had the transmission drained and replaced with Amsoil tranny fluid.

The prior owner had most of the car's service done at Rohrich Lexus. After I purchased the car, I had the service done at Dorschel Lexus.

There is no rust on the car other than where there are a couple of rock chips. I planned to get that fixed if I decided to keep the car. Look at the undercarriage pictures ... the car is extremely clean.

I have two sets of rims ... the platinum edition rims you see in the pictures and the original five-star type wheels with lug covers.

There is a carfax for the vehicle at www . carfax . com /cfm / FSBO.cfm? report=B726861AB17B72961994F684978DDDCB

Interior

The interior is really sweet. I use Leatherique on the leather which restored the stiff headrests and other areas back to supple leather. Lexus leather is the best and I used the best stuff on the planet to care for it. I have carpeted floor mats as well as custom made Lloyds RubberTite floor mats in matching gray. Look at the photos you can tell the car is treated well.

Issues

As with any car (and especially one that is 15-years old), one should expect some wear and tear. There are a few rock chips on the hood will need some attention. I took a photo so you may see. There are few dings and scratches as well as a small chip in the windshield that hasn't spread. For the age of the car, I think it is in great condition especially mechanically.

If you weren't aware, this car is sold "as is" without any warranties expressed or implied. I have tried to represent this car to the best of my abilities. I am not a mechanic or an automobile professional so caveat emptor.

With all that being said, I really find this car to be the best I have ever owned. It is smooth, refined and just exudes class in an understated way. I the title to the car in hand.

Please contact me through ebay with any questions you may have. Best of luck and happy bidding!

Lexus fans vote Solar Flare for new RC F hue

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

What's in a name? When it comes to model nameplates, quite a lot, and automakers go to considerable lengths to find just the right one. Same goes for the names of the colors in the catalog (save for maybe the Rape Yellow in the extensive Bugatti palette), but every once in a while, an automaker will open it up for suggestions from the public.
SRT did that when it introduced a new shade of blue for its Viper, as did Chevy for the pale green on the Volt. And last month, Lexus followed a similar path when it asked fans on Facebook to come up with a name for the new shade of orange for the RC F.
Fans suggested names like Tangerine Flame, Outrageous Orange and Fiery Orange, but ultimately the winning submission that Lexus selected was Solar Flare. The name was suggested by five individuals and will now enter the catalog of colors for the new luxury muscle coupe with its 450-horsepower 5.0-liter V8.

2023 Japan Mobility Show Mega Photo Gallery: All the highlights and reveals from Tokyo

Fri, Oct 27 2023

The 2023 Japan Mobility Show managed to serve up a surprise heap of exciting and futuristic designs and production reveals. Our staff was on the ground in Tokyo for this year's show, where we captured not just all of the latest automotive trends, but some genuinely weird and fascinating stuff. Browse: Some Delightful Oddities of the 2023 Japan Mobility Show But on to the cars. This year's show featured introductions from Daihatsu, Honda, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota. Some are weird; some are wild; most are probably destined to change significantly before production or merely fade into the void with the rest of the industry's vaporware, but if even a few of these make it to showrooms, we'll consider it a win. Scroll on down for our live galleries of each of the show's major debuts (and cars we're only now seeing in person for the first time). Enjoy!

Lexus gets new boss, and he's a designer

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

A reshuffle in the uppermost ranks of Lexus could see the Japanese luxury brand further energize its recent focus on design. Tokuo Fukuichi, Toyota's global design boss, is the new head of Lexus International.
Fukuichi will retain his role as the overall head of design for Toyota, Lexus and Scion, and will assume his new position at the head of Lexus and on its board on April 1 (no fooling). This is going to be an interesting move for fans of design to watch, as Fukuichi has repeatedly been mentioned as a designer that enjoys pushing the edge of the envelope and experimenting. He is, after all, the man responsible for designing the most awesomely odd minivan of the 1990s, the mid-engined, rear-drive Toyota Previa, and more recently, he signed off on the controversial Lexus LF-NX concept, which is said to presage a new production small crossover.
"Regarding changes in design, no one has 100 percent confidence," Fukuichi told Forbes back in January 2013. "No one can really say with pure certainty that, 'In two years, this will sell well.'" As Akio Toyoda continues to demand more assertive, edgier designs, it's that point of view that should make Fukuichi a valuable addition to Lexus, as it continues to challenge the competition from Germany.
