Selling this well maintained 1997 Lexus LX450. Originally purchased for my Lake Tahoe house but a Mercedes Benz 4-Matic wagon was just inherited. Therefore, we are passing this well maintained "Toyota Landcruiser" on to the next snow loving family. It was originally a lease when the current owner purchased it as a CPO-Certified Pre-Owned in 2001. It has a clean CARFAX and clean title. It has been lovingly maintained by a scientist, who would purchase another one today. There is a stack of maintenance records. It still rides on Michelin tires with decent tread. The tires can get you through the summer but I would personally change them for winter driving. The glass is all good, the interior is decent with the exception of the front seats. "KOBE"beef is tasty but the hides are not good for seating surfaces. Just kidding. The second row is in good shape. The third row most likely has never been used based upon the condition. The carpets are not stained. The headliner does not sag. The sunroof slides and tilts freely. If you've NEVER driven an FJ80 in the snow, be prepared for one of the most "sure footed" vehicles ever in the snow. They don't say, "Oh, what a feeling for nothing". I have owned Landcruiser's in the past and they are in my own humble opinion, one of a KIND. It may have 207,551 but when you drive it, it drive nice and sturdy. It will go another 207 if maintained to the letter. Why spend more money than you need?? This one is selling for NO RESERVE. Final bid gets to take her home to enjoy. With all my auctions, a few requirements. First, NO PAYPAL. Second, any and all bidders with less than 10 feedback and/or negative feedback need to contact me prior to bidding with their name and contact number or your bid will be cancelled and your user id blocked from additional bidding. Third, you are bidding to OWN, not make excuses. Also selling in AS-IS, Where-Is condition with NO Warranties, expressed nor implied. Seller has represented vehicle to the best of his knowledge and makes no representations as to the condition of the vehicle that are unknown to seller at time of sale. Vehicle is also advertised locally and seller reserves right to end auction early and cancel all bids if sold outside of ebay. Any and all bidders can email for a buy it now if they cannot wait until the end of the auction. So, with a great "Lexus/Toyota" leap, let the auction begin.

Lexus apologizes for anti-EV ad, Plug In America calls it 'outdated'

Mon, May 12 2014

Anyone who's spent any time learning about the alternatives to the standard fossil fuel-burning internal combustion engine knows that there are arguments to be made for and against all of the main options. They also know that there is barely any refueling infrastructure for hydrogen fuel cell cars in the US, aside form a handful of H2 stations in California and one in South Carolina. Somehow, though Lexus, recently said there was an "established infrastructure" in 20 states in an online video ad on the company's official site. Another part of that site also made unfair negative comments about battery-powered electric vehicles, saying that it takes too long to charge the cars. Read our original post on the matter here. In the ongoing discussion about how the US moves away from inefficient gas and diesel engines, this was seen as a real muck up of the facts. Upon seeing the videos, pro-electric vehicle group Plug In America released a statement to AutoblogGreen (Lexus is owned by Toyota): Hey, Toyota, the 1990s called. They want their outdated anti-EV attack ad back. Plug-in electric vehicles charge while you're sleeping at home, far more convenient than making a trip to a gas station and coming away smelling like carcinogens. Driving on electricity costs about one fifth what it costs to drive the average gas car and about a third what it costs to drive the most efficient hybrid. An electric drive has smooth, instant acceleration which can't be matched by any gasoline engine. If you don't believe me, just ask anyone driving a Toyota RAV4 EV. The videos were produced by Team One, Lexus' ad agency. Exactly where the information came from and how it made it to the website is unclear, but Lexus spokesman Moe Durand said that Lexus apologizes for offending anyone and has taken the incorrect videos down. The company will review all the materials and alter and adjust the campaign as necessary, he said.

2014 Lexus GS gets eight-speed auto, other enhancements

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

The Lexus GS was totally redesigned for the 2013 model year, but Lexus is already tweaking its midsize luxury sedan. While a handful of small changes are being made, the big news for the 2014 model year is that rear-wheel-drive GS350 models will be getting a new eight-speed automatic transmission for improved fuel economy and performance.
Official EPA estimates have yet to be released, but Lexus expects this new transmission to return 19 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway - an improvement of 1 mpg highway. The GS450h still uses a continuously variable transmission, but Lexus says that it has been optimized to mimic the shift points of an eight-speed automatic. The final powertrain change made to the 2014 Lexus GS include tweaks to the GS350's engine intake and exhaust systems, which should help give the sedan a sportier feel.
Inside, Lexus has added Siri Eyes Free inside both the GS350 and GS450h, which allows drivers to use their iPhone's Siri voice assistant simply by pushing a button on the steering wheel. Other changes include a new full-color head-up display, and an available power trunk opener. A new Luxury Package adds LED fog lights, 18-inch "superchrome" wheels on the GS350 and 18-inch graphite-finish wheels on the GS450h. Interesting, the optional Lexus Night View system has been dropped.

2014 Lexus IS gets TRD bits

Mon, 20 May 2013

Toyota Racing Development (TRD) in Japan has designed cosmetic and performance bits that give the 2014 Lexus IS a front-to-back workover. Different from the F-Sport parts we expect from Lexus here, the full body kit runs 437,700 yen ($4,285 US) and starts with air deflectors at the lower edges of the front bumper, through to side skirts, a decklid spoiler and a rear bumper with a diffuser and quad exhaust tips.
For 288,750 yen ($2,830) you can sharpen responses with new shocks, springs, dampers, sway bar and bracing. The priciest individual component is the set of 19-inch wheels, four of them going for 527,625 yen (5,170 US). There's no word on US importation or pricing yet, but done up all in black like the IS above, we wouldn't mind seeing it here.
