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.

 Please visit our website (forgive the construction) or contact us directly with any questions you might have. We are available to answer any of your questions by phone or email Monday-Saturday 8am-6pm PST. If you are local and interested in seeing the vehicle, a showing/test-drive can be arranged by appointment only.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

2022 Lexus LX 600 First Drive | A substantial, stylish soft-roader

Thu, Feb 17 2022

The Toyota Land Cruiser is dead. Long live the Toyota Land Cruiser 2022 Lexus LX 600 — the flagship SUV brought kicking and screaming into the 21st century with a much-needed overhaul. Back with a new powertrain, new shell and new possibilities, the LX is aimed at the top of the luxury SUV segment, taking the fight back to the likes of the Cadillac Escalade and Mercedes-Benz GLS. The Land Cruiser isn't truly dead, mind you; we just don't get it here in the U.S. — at least not yet. Fortunately, much of that new SUVÂ’s engineering lurks beneath the LXÂ’s skin. The new twin-turbo V6, for example, provides 409 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque and serves here as a baseline V8 replacement; it's paired to Toyota's new 10-speed automatic. The hybrid engine offered in the new Toyota Tundra and Sequoia is rumored to be on the way to the LX in the coming model years.  But while the Land Cruiser is traditionally known for its off-road prowess, the LX we tested was most definitely not. In place of a robust 4x4 system with locking front and rear axles intended to conquer unexplored terrain, we got a Torsen limited-slip differential, an F Sport suspension with performance dampers, and massive 22-inch wheels. Sure, the center differential lock and LSD will get you just about anywhere you could possibly need to go, even on dirt, but that's not the F Sport's intended use case. ThatÂ’s not to say the LX 600 canÂ’t hang when it comes to typical SUV duties. ItÂ’s nearly 17 feet long and equipped with a fold-flat third row, but it's also essentially a foot shorter than a standard Escalade. That partly explains why that third row is basically utility seating as opposed to consistent family transport. It also offers reasonable headroom at the expense of cargo space – just about all of it, in fact. If you really need to use the third row and bring some stuff along, you can always rent a trailer; itÂ’ll tow 8,000 pounds. Fortunately, the standard full-time 4WD and limited-slip differential donÂ’t need to be paired to the LXÂ’s off-road Crawl Mode to be worthwhile. Though our loanerÂ’s huge 22-inch wheels were wrapped in all-season rubber, the LX handled typical Michigan winter garbage with aplomb. Fresh snowfall was limited during the week we had the truck, but there was plenty of leftover, inches-deep crust and slush in the suburbs north of Detroit where we took the LX out to play. Competent though it may be over the rough stuff, comfortable it is not.

Lexus nixes RC convertible in favor of LS-based 3-row crossover [w/poll]

Mon, Nov 24 2014

When Lexus unveiled the LF-C2 concept at the LA Auto Show last week, it did two things: it previewed the direction in which the Japanese luxury automaker's design department was looking for the immediate future, and it previewed a cabrio version of the RC coupe (to replace the IS Convertible) on the other. But the latter, according to new reports, was ruled out before the concept ever took the stage. Although the prospect of a convertible version was engineered right into the RC coupe's chassis, Motor Trend reports that plans to put such a vehicle into production were met with hostility by Lexus dealers, who were offered a two-door convertible instead of the three-row crossover they've been lobbying for. As a result – and with a finite amount of development bucks on hand – Lexus is reportedly listening to its dealers, axing the RC Convertible program and proceeding instead with a seven-seat crossover. Plans to stretch the RX were reportedly ruled out, so Toyota is reportedly proceeding instead with a new model to be based on the LS sedan. The new model would take aim at the likes of the Mercedes GL, Audi Q7 and Infiniti QX60 when it arrives in three years as a 2018 model. It's not the first time we've seen Toyota listen to dealers asking for a high-end people-mover: Earlier this year, dealers in Japan asked the automaker for a luxed-out minivan, prompting it to build the Esquire van just for the Japanese Domestic Market.
