2004 Lexus Lx470 Base Sport Utility 4-door 4.7l on 2040-cars
Encinitas, California, United States
|
The Lexus LX470 and Toyota Land Cruiser 100-series are great
for families and off road adventurers alike. This one-owner 2004 Lexus LX470 is
a rare find in its condition and low mileage. It has 115,000 miles and has
lived its entire life in Southern California. It’s fully loaded, the best paint
color Lexus offers, and has been very well cared for. These are amazing cars;
capable of circumnavigating the globe without fail and used to protect and transport
dignitaries around the world. In the US they are most frequently employed as
safe family vehicles used to cart around the kids, get groceries, and take the
family to the mountains. Regardless of whether they are used for kids or NATO
they take a lot of abuse. As a result, it’s rare to find LX’s and Toyota Land Cruisers
in this kind of clean and cared-for condition. It has right over 115,000 miles
and should be perfect well past 350,000. It was serviced at Lexus Tustin and Lexus Malibu and comes
with a detailed service history. The previous owner loved the car and it shows.
The major 90k mile servicing was done at a Lexus dealership - which is the most
expensive service interval on this car. Since purchasing it, we have had it
inspected twice: one was done by Carlsbad Lexus. It passed with flying colors
and we were congratulated for finding a car in such immaculate condition. It is a very capable full-time 4-wheel drive vehicle with
low and high transfer-case gearing and a center differential lock. It also
comes with Lexus/Toyota’s famous A-TRAC traction system for your time off road
or in low-traction conditions. The v8 produces plenty of power and gets great
gas-mileage for a capable 4x4 SUV of this size. It comes fully loaded with premium Mark-Levinson audio, CD-changer, navigation, back-up
camera, climate control, power rear windows, heated seats and side-mirrors,
auto-darkening mirrors, power retracting mirrors, and a great deal more. It
also has the very convenient and reliable “adjustable height suspension” (AHC)
which allows you to raise and lower the car – from the driver’s seat - for your
loading/unloading and off road/high-clearance needs. The exterior is immaculate. There are no dents, scratches,
or dings of consequence. It’s painted in Diamond White Pearl which is one of
the highest quality and most expensive paints available: it is typically used
only for show-quality classic cars and hot-rods. When this LX470 was first sold,
it was the most expensive car Lexus made by a very large margin. With this high
price came some very high-quality options not previously available. One of
those options was Diamond White Pearl paint. The paint is 3-stage paint unlike
typical 2-stage paints. The extra stage is a layer of finely ground synthetic
pearls. This pearl dust takes the place of metal-flakes in typical automotive
paint that deteriorates quickly in the sun. This paint has proven again and
again that it can stand up to huge amounts of abuse and continue to look nicer
than brand new cars coming off the lot. The interior is much like the exterior: clean and well cared
for. The carpets are stain-free and have been protected by a set of factory
Lexus floor mats its entire life (included). The leather is exceptionally clean
and well cared for. The steering wheel and dash have no cracks, tears,
scratches, or blemishes. It comes with all of the original documents including
the owner’s manual, navigation disk, key-tag, etc. The car is perfect mechanically. Everything has been serviced at the factory intervals and the entire car was just given a clean bill of health from Lexus. We will provide a detailed life-time service history for the car. I am happy to arrange shipping domestically and will export and ship anywhere in the world. All shipping, transport, and export fees will be charged to the buyer. Please see payments and deposit section for payment and deposit terms. |

Anything but boring | 2018 Lexus LC 500 First Drive
Thu, Dec 8 2016This is it, the headliner, the main event. After years of Lexus promising to make less-boring cars and instead giving us countless spindle-grille facelifts, the 2018 LC 500 is here as the brand's new North Star. It's the official halo to mark where Toyota's luxury brand is headed. This is the car that we hope can bring an end to the relentless mentions of boring cars - which are themselves needlessly boring. And besides, "not boring" is a terrible metric for evaluation. What Lexus is really trying to do is give its cars some spirit, to transcend the paint-by-numbers stereotype that made this brand the luxury juggernaut it is today. By that yardstick, the LC 500 is a success simply based on how it looks. It's beautiful in a way that we couldn't predict from the 2012 LF-LC concept that foreshadowed it. The kind of beauty where instead of reflexively grabbing your phone to take a picture, you just stand there and keep looking. And pictures don't do this car justice, anyway. They soften the edges and reduce the massive draw of the wide shoulders. In person, looking straight at the LC, the car looks like it's 80 percent hood. In the rest of the lineup, the trademark Lexus grille's execution ranges from caricature (RC) to botched nose job (LX). Here it pulls everything together. From every other angle, the LC has some feature that seems excessive – in the best way possible. The proportions of the LC give off a distinctively functional vibe, and it's genuine. That hood is so long because the 5.0-liter V8's center of mass sits three and a half inches behind the front axle. The extra space up front is mostly empty - Lexus uses high-strength steel cross-braces to shore up torsional rigidity instead of adding structure ahead of the front wheels, and the battery sits under the trunk floor. For all the visual excitement, the LC is still a conventional vehicle. Aside from some advancements in the LC 500h's hybrid powertain, the innovation here is of the iterative type. It's interesting, in that Lexus is betting on emotional appeal and driving character at a time when the future relevance of both is up for debate. If anything, the LC is a car for the current automotive world, not the one to come. And despite extensive use of aluminum and sheet-molded carbon, the LC 500 weighs in at a hefty 4,280 pounds. That's right in line with the BMW 6 Series and a good deal below the Batali-esque Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe's 4,700 pounds.
Future Lexus products to feature heavier focus on performance and handling
Tue, Jun 16 2020There’s a sea change of performance occurring over at Lexus these days. At least, thatÂ’s what the Japanese luxury automaker claims. Lexus has made plenty of excellent performance cars in its past, but the brand has never been known for performance. Instead, Lexus has produced some of the most comfortable, reliable and serene automobiles to ever come out of Japan, and it's found success in doing so. The brand has a clear identity, but itÂ’s looking to massage that identity. “Moving forward, the efforts of the CE (chief engineer) will be focused on elevating the vehicles to a new standard of performance and handling as developed by Lexus International President Koji Sato and Chief Branding Officer Akio Toyoda,” Lexus said in a statement. “The ultimate goal is to deliver a new generation of Lexus vehicles that is more balanced, refined in control, and confident than ever before.” A new “standard of performance and handling” has definitely raised our eyebrows, and weÂ’re curious to know what that looks and feels like. Toyota has already shown clear signs of upping its performance gains with the GR brand and additional TRD models. ItÂ’s only the beginning, and it looks like Lexus is going to follow the parent brand into this performance space. The construction of a new testing facility in Japan was instrumental in this fight for more performance, according to Lexus. We wrote about the mini Nurburgring replica before. ItÂ’s called Shimoyama, and Lexus will be developing its vehicles at this facility for the foreseeable future. “More than merely a new test facility, this asphalt track signals a change in LexusÂ’ product development course and speaks to the brandÂ’s commitment to its human-centered nature,” Lexus says. What does that entail for the cars? Lexus has an answer there, too: “Linear steering, brake responses, and optimized handling with exceptional ride quality is the result of heightened focus on tuning of the chassis and its interactions with the control surfaces through diligent evaluation at a test facility unlike any other.” 2021 Lexus IS View 25 Photos The new 2021 IS is meant to be the first of many vehicles that exemplify LexusÂ’ new performance philosophy. This “cultural shift” is meant to build on what Lexus has already done with F-branded cars, in addition to the wonderful LC.
Most reliable cars and trucks of 2022
Tue, Nov 15 2022Related: Least reliable cars and trucks of 2022  For years now, Consumer Reports has been one of the most prolific sources of vehicle reliability data around. The organization tests a number of vehicles each year and surveys its members on various automotive topics, including reliability. The results of its 2022 annual auto survey are in, and the list of most reliable vehicles has been revealed. Unsurprisingly, Toyota and Lexus dominated the list of most reliable vehicles, but BMW and Mini snuck into the top 10 as well. The list includes: Toyota Corolla Hybrid: 93 Lexus GX: 91 Mini Cooper: 89 Toyota Prius: 89 Mazda MX-5 Miata: 85 Lincoln Corsair: 82 Toyota Corolla: 81 Subaru Crosstrek: 80 BMW 3 Series: 80 Toyota Prius Prime: 77 In terms of the most reliable vehicle type, Consumer Reports says that sedans remain the best choice. Their average score is 58, which is notably better than SUVs’ average score of 51. Minivans and pickup trucks are lower, at 44 and 39, respectively. As Consumer Reports notes, many sedans are older models that have allowed their manufacturers to iron out the wrinkles, making them more reliable. Domestic automakers' SUVs and trucks performed better in the survey than their imported counterparts, with scores of 45 and 41, respectively. The study also showed that hybrids and plug-in hybrids are becoming more reliable, and have climbed the score ladder to the tops of their segments in many cases. Consumer Reports says its study includes 17 trouble areas, including small stuff like creaks and rattles and much larger problems like drivetrain failures. The organization states that it weights each issue based on its severity to create its predicted reliability scores, with 100 being the best. A car must be in production for at least two model years to be considered for the list.
