Location:

Santa Barbara, California, United States

Santa Barbara, California, United States

I am selling my 96 FZJ80 Lexus LX 450/Toyota Land Cruiser

NO RESERVE AUCTION!  High bid wins-------------

Only 151k CarFax certified miles. California car since new. NO rust. 

Yes, it has the DIFF LOCK option!

I bought this LX earlier this year after a long search for a clean, well kept, well maintained 80 series with Diff Locks.  I finally found this one pretty close to home just north of Santa Barbara. I am the 5th owner and the title is in name. Was going to keep this one long term but things change.  It's ready for a new home.  I have sold some very nice Land Cruisers and Toyota's here on eBay with 100% satisfaction. So bid with confidence. 

It's the champaign color scheme from Lexus with pretty much all the options available in 1996.  Running boards, roof rack (I removed the Lexus rack and added Yakima load bars, still have orig rack), tow package, 3rd row seats, Diff Lock, auto climate control, etc. 

It also has the CDL switch (center diff lock) added.  It's been very well maintained with extensive Lexus Dealership records and others.  Major items to note included: pesky heater hose replaced, valve cover gasket replaced, front axle rebuild, new distributor cap, spark plugs, plug wires and tube seals.  Newer brakes with slotted rotors on all four wheels. Recent service of the AC (blows cold).  Just serviced with oil change, filter and full lube. 

Within the last 2k miles I purchased an Old Man Emu 2.5" medium lift from Spector Off-Road and had it installed at my shop in Santa Barbara. Includes castor correction kit and Emu steering stabilizer.  Then I had an alignment done and installed new BFG All-Terrain TA 282/75r16 on the  stock Lexus alloys. New center caps (Toyota Logo) installed as well.  It rides incredible with this set up and looks great. All in it was well over $3,000 for these upgrades. 

The interior is almost in perfect condition. The power seats work perfectly. All electronics such as the power windows, locks, HVAC, etc work just as they should. The power button, 2nd gear start and overdrive buttons work perfect. The front, rear and center diff locks all work and engage as they should.  The radio, CD player work and sound great. Though the power antenna motor doesn't work and I replaced the aerial with a carbon stub. Looks pretty good The leather is near perfect and original. The only things to note would be a small "cut" or separation of the leather on the drivers seat right side back bolster and a little wear on the top of the steering wheel(I use a nice cover, you'll see in photos) and gear shift lever. Otherwise the interior is close to a 9 out of 10. Non smoking owners and smells like a Lexus. 

The paint is all original and overall in really great shape. Things to note include some clear coat fade on the top center of the hood and right rear fender flare (pretty minor). The left rear fender flare has a little worse fade, please see in detailed photos. Doesn't really bother me as I like the original paint aspect.  All original VIN stickers present.  No accident, paint or bodywork history.

So overall much less dings and fade than an average Land Cruiser/LX450 of this vintage. I've owned quite a few and this one is on the nicer side by far. 

It runs, drives, shifts, brakes, etc just as it should. Throws no codes and is a pleasure to drive. It's turn key and needs nothing.  This is most likely one of the nicer Land Cruiser/LX 450's on the market. 

Current California tag until February 2015.  Two Lexus keys, owners manual, Lexus OEM floor mats (fronts, center & rear) and few other extra parts included. Have the original Lexus coil springs if you want them.  On, the "D" light and the "overdrive" light are bulbs are burned out. 

As is where is sale. I offer no warranties expressed, written or implied. The Lexus has a clear title in my name. It's located in Santa Barbara, CA at my home. I'll happily pick you up at the Santa Barbara airport or train station and can assist with your transporter. 

Pre buy inspections are welcomed and encouraged BEFORE the auction ends. 

Please message me through eBay or for faster response call me at 805-415-2848 with any questions. My name is Patrick. 

Bidders with zero (0) or negative feedback please contact me prior to bidding or your bid could be canceled.

$500 deposit due immediately at close of auction via PayPal.  Balance due within 5 days via Wire Transfer, Bank Transfer or Cash.  Vehicle to be picked up in a timely manner hopefully within a week or so.

Lexus builds final LFA supercar

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

Lexus has officially built the very last LFA. The 500th Lexus supercar rolled from the company's Motomachi facility on December 14th wearing all of the goodies of the Nürburgring package and white paint. Toyota's Lexus division started production on the car exactly two years ago on December 15, 2010 and built just one unit per working day. A total of 170 workers were hand-picked to handle parts manufacturing, assembly and painting for the LFA project. While Lexus has made it clear it will produce no more LFA models, lessons gleaned from the vehicle's construction may translate into other future products.
Specifically, Toyota says it may employ its carbon fiber reinforced plastic experience moving forward. As you may recall, the LFA made extensive use of CFRP and carbon fiber, and Lexus even created a special rotary loom to stitch together the supercar's A-pillars. Take a look at the brief press release on the last LFA below.

2014 Lexus GX 460

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

The Toyota 4Runner has always held a special place in my heart for its boxy styling and off-road prowess, but until now, I never had the chance to drive its more luxurious cousin, the Lexus GX 460. Granted, the GX actually has more in common with the foreign-market Land Cruiser Prado, but all three SUVs ride on the same body-on-frame platform.
Originally an answer to the luxury SUV craze from the early 2000s, the GX hasn't changed all that much since its introduction more than a decade ago. It's a big SUV with plenty of space and crammed with just about all the luxuriousness Lexus could fit into a 12-year-old vehicle, but, more importantly, it still has the chops to go places many vehicles in its segment wouldn't dare venture. And just for good measure, Lexus tacked on its new signature spindle grille in what has to be its most pronounced appearance yet.
I've had a chance to drive most of the latest Lexus products (including the IS, ES and GS) to see just how competitive Toyota's luxury arm has gotten in recent years, but after spending a week with the 2014 GX 460, it's refreshing that, for now, Lexus has resisted the urge to follow some of its rivals in replacing rugged, body-on-frame SUVs with softer, car-based crossovers.

Lexus boots up 2014 IS configurator

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

Throw away those scraps of paper and pull yourself up to a keyboard, as Lexus has launched the online configurator for its all-new 2014 IS sedan. The base price for the entry-level IS 250 RWD is $36,845 (all listed prices include the $895 delivery fee), delivering a 2.5-liter V6 rated at 204 horsepower that provides enough thrust for a 0-60 sprint in 7.7 seconds. The range-topping IS 350 AWD starts at $42,595, packed with a 3.5-liter V6 rated at 306 horsepower that will deliver 60 mph in just 5.7 seconds.
After choosing an engine and driveline, the configurator will offer eight exterior colors and five interior upholstery shades (some combinations, such as selecting Obsidian over Rioja Red NuLuxe leather, require upgrades such as the F Sport package). Consumers are then offered four different bundled option packages as enhancements. The least expensive is Navigation ($4,670), followed by the aforementioned F Sport ($5,800) and a choice between two luxury packages ($7,195) with light or dark wood trim.
Last to come are the accessories and dealer-installed options such as remote engine start, glass-break sensor, wheel locks and a cargo net. Go crazy with your choices, as we did, and the price will exceed $50,000. Head over to the Lexus IS configurator, and check it out for yourself.
