Beautiful 1998 Lexus LS400

Up for your consideration is a very clean 1998 Lexus LS400 in Antique Sterling Metallic. I am still driving the vehicle so it currently has 103,155 miles. By the end of this auction the odometer will likely read 103,500.

UPDATE: When I first put the car up for sale, my reserve price was $6,500. I decided to take off the platinum edition wheels and have lowered the reserve price accordingly. Also, I just found out that this car will need an O2 sensor so I have lowered the price. A link of where to get the part is below.  

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 I am selling separately. I can send you a picture of the wheels on the car. It looks absolutely stunning! The original five-star type wheels with lug covers are not as nice and have been put back on the vehicle.


Interior

The interior is really sweet. I use Leatherique on the leather surfaces. The areas that have been affected most by the sun felt like cardboard but now are buttery soft. 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 three things I want to be upfront about .....

1. The car needs an O2 sensor. Cars need maintenance and the check engine light just came on. The winner will need to purchase one and replace the sensor. The car's performance is not affected in any way. Here's the link to website to get an OEM sensor. If you go directly to a dealer, you will be ripped off. http://www.lexusparts now.com/parts/lexus-sensor-oxygen~89465-50100.html

2. 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.

3. The front bumper looks as though it has faded a tinge since it is not quite the same color as the cladding. I planned to have it repainted if I kept the car. It is what it is.

Finally, if you weren't already 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 have 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 hints at LF-SA concept bound for Geneva

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Lexus has been moving steadily away from its once conservative designs with increasingly aggressive ones, and looks set to move the bar once again with this latest concept. Bearing the codename LF-SA, the new Lexus concept is set to debut in a couple of weeks at the Geneva Motor Show. But the Japanese luxury automaker isn't giving us much to go on from the decidedly enigmatic teaser image and brief statement below. According to Lexus, "the LF-SA Concept explores unexpected territories for the brand," which could come down to a new compact model to either replace or slot in below the CT 200h in the brand's lineup. The upright form would seem to be consistent with a city car. Beyond that, we can see an even larger evolution of Lexus' trademark spindle grille and checkmark accent lights. Whatever it is, though, Toyota's luxury division promises it will remain "a driver-focused vehicle." We'll just have to sit tight and wait to find out more, so watch this space. 17 Feb 2015 WORLD PREMIERE OF THE LEXUS LF-SA CONCEPT AT THE 2015 GENEVA MOTOR SHOW Lexus will reveal its all-new concept, the LF-SA at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. Brussels, Belgium - An illustration of Lexus' passion for upcoming design trends, the LF-SA Concept explores unexpected territories for the brand in a bold and emotional execution. In a future world which many people see as increasingly influenced by technology and virtual experiences, the LF-SA Concept is also a driver-focused vehicle, reflecting Lexus' vision that real experience will remain ultimate luxury. The LF-SA Concept will be revealed at the Lexus Press Conference taking place on March 3, 2015 at 12:30 PM at the Lexus stand (number 4211) in Palexpo, Hall 4.

Ford barely edges surging Chrysler for Canadian sales crown in best year ever

Thu, Jan 8 2015

The auto industry in the US showed strong results through much of 2014 with sales regularly growing year-over-year for many brands. That same trend carried over in the Great White North, as well. Canada posted its best numbers ever with 1.85 million units sold, up about 100,000 vehicles over 2013. The country nearly had a new market leader, too. The big winner among our neighbors to the north in 2014 was Ford with 291,951 vehicles sold, up 3 percent from 2013, according to Reuters. That success also handed the company the sales crown for the fifth consecutive year. In large part, the strong result came from the company's popular trucks, which represented about 80 percent of overall sales. "Ford moved into the number one position in September and didn't look back," said a note to clients by DesRosiers Automotive Consultants quoted by Reuters. However, the Blue Oval didn't exactly take an overwhelming lead for the year. The company nearly had to hand over the sales trophy to FCA after the company rallied in the latter part of the year. The Italian-American conglomerate had its best results ever to nip at the Ford's heels and move 290,004 units for 2014, a 12-percent improvement from last year. Jeep especially helped the bottom line with over 50-percent growth, according to Reuters. Only two other brands were able to break the 200,000-vehicle barrier in Canada for 2014. General Motors came in third place overall with 249,800 sales, up 6.3 percent. The combined Toyota and Lexus also barely jumped the hurdle with 200,851 units moved, a 2.8 percent improvement.

Next Lexus RX looks ready to roll

Wed, Jan 7 2015

Lexus' bread-and-butter crossover, the RX, has been long overdue for a substantial redesign, with the current third-gen crossover entering its sixth year on sale. Considering this, it's no surprise that the fourth-generation RX is well on its way to production readiness, as evidenced by our latest round of spy photos. This new model looks larger than the current RX, like the wheelbase has been stretched, which would likely explain reports that the company was looking at an optional third-row for the mid-sizer. Aesthetically, the Lexus spindle grille is easy to spot, as are its aggressive headlamps. It's unclear based on these images if the RX will adopt the same styling statement seen on the RC, IS and NX, with sharp LED running lamps mounted below the actual headlights, but it certainly seems likely. Besides the design changes, our spies report that Toyota will be working hard to shed weight, likely through the use of aluminum for the doors, hood and rear hatch. Underhood, expect the typical combo of a gas-powered six-cylinder as well as the V6/hybrid setup found in Lexus' 450h models. As for when we could expect to see the next-gen RX, your guess is as good as ours. Geneva is, as always, a candidate, as is April's New York Auto Show. Of course, should we confirm a debut at either show, we'll be sure to let you know. Stay tuned.
