This vehicle has been driven by my mother since we purchased it new from Lexus of Tampa Bay in 1996. Every service has been performed on time or early at the same dealership and all records are readily available. It does have some paint chips clearly depicted in the detailed photos. The vehicle is in beautiful overall condition as it really has mainly had one passenger and therefore you can see the interior has little wear. The mileage is 85% highway and the vehicle shifts and drives very smoothly on a brand new set of Michelin tires installed recently at Lexus of Tampa Bay. Please note how clean the engine compartment is. AC and heat work flawlessly. The vehicle is in such good shape that two of the people in service are very interested in this vehicle. As with many Lexus and Toyota Land Cruisers from this period, the front seats no longer move back and forward. This seems to be a common problem which can be solved by those who are more handy than I as a "do it yourself" project replacing a couple of gears. The seat can be adjusted permanently at Lexus for $450 or you can opt to change the motor for a total of $1,100 including labor per seat. I am certain this could be done more reasonably by using salvage parts and a Toyota specialist. As mentioned this is a common problem and has been addressed on many blogs on the internet. I have attached a link below which discusses the "fix" and those who have elected to complete the task themselves.

The LX 450 is powered by a 4.5 liter, twin-cam, four-valve inline-six engine which produces 215 hp and 275 lb·ft of torque. Both front and rear axles are solid. Externally, the LX 450 is largely identical to the J80 series Land Cruiser, with the exception of the grille, side body cladding, and wheels. Side running boards allow step-up access into the vehicle's cabin. The vehicle is also fitted with additional sound-absorbing insulation. Onboard amenities included leather seats and seating capacity for up to seven passengers in three rows (2 of which were rarely used and show as new) of seating. The third row seat is accessed by tilting the second row bench seat forward. The third row itself could be folded to the side for more cargo area, and the second row seat could fold down for further space. The vehicle also came pre-wired for the Lexus remote telephone system, and is equipped with a remote entry key system. This vehicle has the optional console-mounted 6-disc CD changer, and a power moonroof. Because GPS was not an option we did add the aftermarket Garmin system which we will include with the original manuals though it hasn't been used in some time and is not powering up. We will also include the full set of keys and the books that came with the vehicle including the towing attachment. At the time of its sales debut in early 1996, the LX 450 sold at a $7,000 price premium over the Land Cruiser. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns. We are glad to provide more detailed photos if there are some that are difficult to gauge. This vehicle is in unbelievable condition given its age. Admittedly a few of the chips have come as of late because my mother moved into a condo where the parking spots are a bit less forgiving than the garaged she was used to. The only reason we are selling this vehicle is that it has grown difficult for my 92 year old grandmother to climb in and out. This car has been pampered`and always garaged since new. It was recently fully clayed and detailed at a cost of almost $500 and is started daily but no longer being driven. Best of luck and if you have been looking for a great example of these highly sought after SUV's this one will not disappoint.
Questions: Q: Would you please send me or add to the ad a photo of both of the differential lock switch to the left of the steering wheel and the vehicle identification sheet affixed to the driver's door which shows the production date and codes. I am very interested in this vehicle. Thanks A: Apologies but we aren't able to add more photos to the listing as we exceeded our limit at 24. We will gladly send you these photos and answer any questions you may have. This vehicle does not have front and rear locking differentials. Thanks so much for catching my error!!
Q: | I was wanting to see if you could tell me more about the accident that is listed in the auto check report? Does the the vehicle have any oil or fluid leaks or check engine light codes? Also could you email me a couple more pictures, specifically of the label on the inside of the drivers door with the VIN and transmission codes and also underneath of the front axle knuckles. My email address is ... Thanks, Sean | Feb-24-14 | A: | Thanks for your questions and taking a look at our listing. The accident was a very minor impact at low speed to the rear passenger side of the vehicle. There was a very minor repair that was completed at Lexus of Tampa. I am trying to load more photos as they have been requested but ebay limits us to 24. If I am unable to upload I will gladly email to you later today. There are no leaks whatsoever and all of the electronics and lights work perfectly. The check engine light is not on. Could you help me understand "underneath of the front axle knuckles"? Forgive me but my automotive knowledge doesn't run too deep. |

Tesla sold significantly more electric vehicles than its competitors in 2015. Tesla delivered 50,580 vehicles in 2015. 208 of those were its new Model X SUV, and likely half of its Model S units were sold in the US. By comparison, Nissan sold 17,269 Leafs. For General Motors, through the end of November, Cadillac sold 1,024 ELRs, while Chevrolet sold 15,393 Volts and 2,477 Spark EVs. Ford sold similar numbers of its plug-in vehicles in 2015, compared to Nissan and GM, putting each of those automakers between 17,000 and 19,000 EVs. By comparison, Tesla had quite a year.

The automaker is rumored to debut its LC 500, powered by a 465-horsepower, 5.0-liter V8, as well as the LC 500h using a hybrid powertrain consisting of a V6 engine and electric motor. The LC 500h is rumored to produce over 470 horsepower. The Lexus LC will be based on the LF-LC concept that debuted in Detroit in 2012. Lexus has set up a dedicated microsite for its presentation at the Detroit show on January 11. Read more from Hybrid Cars. Formula E will raise its power limit for its third season. According to the newly published FIA Formula E 2016 Technical Regulations, output will be boosted from a maximum 200 kW (268 horsepower) to 250 kW (335 horsepower). While race energy will still be limited to 28 kWh, the battery weight limit has been raised from 200 kilograms (441 pounds) to 230 kilograms (507 pounds), likely to help accommodate the higher output. Meanwhile, overall car weight drops from 888 kilograms (1958 pounds) to 880 kilograms (1940 pounds). Lighter, more powerful cars should make the next season of Formula E even more exciting.

If you're in Arizona, Google is hiring for a gig that could be a good alternative to doing Uber. The job entails test driving an autonomous car around the state for $20 an hour, six to eight hours a day. You'll still need to know how to actually drive to be able to take the wheel if needed. But since your role is testing out the big G's new technology, you're expected to provide the engineering team "concise written and oral feedback," submit daily reports and document any test or procedure performed. That's why even though Google isn't looking for any "particular type of person," it wants people with bachelor's degrees and excellent communication skills. If you're applying because you want to go on a road trip inside one of Google's compact cars, though, we're afraid you'd be sorely disappointed. You'll be testing the tech titan's self-driving technology on a Lexus like the one in the image above.

Toyota has made all manner of vehicles, from sedans and hatchbacks to crossovers and pickup trucks. It's even done a handful of sports cars over the years. But it's only ever done one real supercar, and that was the Lexus LFA. The ten-cylinder supercar was built at the dedicated, purpose-built LFA Works, a facility within Toyota City in Japan that's since moved on to making everything from bicycles to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. But if you were lucky enough to be among the 500 customers to get your hands on an LFA, you may not be inclined to send it back to the factory every time it needs servicing. Especially not if you live in, say, Europe. That's why Toyota Motorsport GmbH was tasked with handling service for the LFA for Europe. The facility in Cologne, Germany, was once home to the automaker's F1 team, now runs its championship-winning endurance racing team and will soon again serve as the home base for its renewed assault on the World Rally Championship. So it's just the type of facility that could handle whatever comes up with Lexus' high-strung exotic, from servicing the V10 engine to repairing the carbon-fiber chassis if need be. After checking out the underground collection in its last episode, the guys at Xcar popped their heads in at the LFA service center. There they spoke with TMG VP Rob Leupen, who seems convinced that Toyota should make a new hybrid supercar. We hope he turns out to be right.
