1997 Lexus LX 450

165,748 miles

White with Tan Leather

Front, center and rear Locking Differentials that engage and disengage properly

Mostly Southern Truck: 3 years in Florida, then 3 Years in Ohio, then the previous owner owned it for the last 11 years in Georgia

Only a little minor rust on the undercarriage, see pics

No Check Engine Light

Cold AC 

Power windows, mirrors and locks work well, power antenna just replaced (after pics were taken).  

Interior is clean and odor free.  

Driver seat leather is cracking. 

Driver side seat motor gear is stripped out for the front to back adjustment.  I think the seat is currently in the rear most position, which, due to the leg room in these is suitable for people of average height or taller. 

If the buyer/winning bidder so chooses I can recover the seats with high quality Lexus pattern leather and fix the driver seat gear for $1250 before delivery.  (Leather from MetricTLC.)  (Its a good bit of labor and I don't really want to do it, just offering the service to the buyer.) I have done this on a few other 80s, I just haven't had the time to do this one.  Payment for the vehicle would come first, then I would do the work.  (If it were me, Id probably drive it as is until the leather gets really bad and/or put some nice canvas seat covers on it.)   I can also fix just the seat motor for $250 if buyer so chooses.  (I don't really want or have the time to do that either, just offering it to help facilitate the sale.)  

No third row seats.  (They are not real useful and you would probably take them out and store them in your garage or attic anyway.)

Cosmetically, the exterior has a few blemishes here and there, consistent with most 17 year old vehicles.  There are some spots on the roof and a few scuffs here and there, nothing major.  The Autocheck shows one accident in 2005 so it had some paintwork, but not sure exactly where.  Vehicle retains all its original body panels and glass.   

The vehicle runs and drives great, needs nothing that I am aware of, and I am very familiar with 80 series Land Cruisers/LX450s.  No smoke, no funny noises.  Leaks a little bit of oil underneath, like most 80s, but not bad.  

Comes with books and manuals, full tool kit and jack, Lexus key and remote. 

Fresh oil and filter change with Shell Rotella 15w-40 and Toyota filter.

This is a really solid truck that I have been driving often for the last couple of months.  

You may notice that this truck did NOT have the roof rack which is common on these.  These racks were installed at the port or dealer, not the factory and are known to cause rust and leaking issues due to the holes drilled in the roof.  This is a sought after feature among Land Cruiser enthusiasts.  

This is a rare vehicle in that it is the last year of the 80 Series Land Cruiser/LX450 with lockers, no roof rack, white in color, relatively low miles (under 175k) and 90% rust free.

Physical and virtual gaming worlds collide in Lexus IS Hybrid promo

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

This is really, really cool. In order to promote its new IS Hybrid, Lexus borrowed an airplane hangar, a former Formula One driver and what we imagine was some serious technological knowhow to create one of the most interesting games we've ever seen. It's called Trace Your Road.
Lexus invited some of its Facebook fans out for the game, which put them in the passenger seat of a Lexus IS Hybrid with former F1 shoe Jarno Trulli. They were then handed a tablet and asked to trace out a road, which was projected onto the floor of the hangar. Trulli had to follow the ever-changing path as his passenger kept on tracing away. It looks like it'd be an absolute riot.
This is probably the coolest automotive promotional video since Audi strapped paintball guns on a couple of RS4s. Take a look below to watch the full video from Lexus. We promise, it's worth two minutes of your time.

2013 Lexus LS 600h L

Wed, 15 May 2013

I have spent the last seven days driving the Starfire Pearl (read: white) 2013 Lexus LS 600h L you see here. And after roughly 500 miles of errand-running, highway-cruising, commuting and people-schlepping, I can safely say this: I don't get it.
The LS hybrid is a nice car. It's comfortable, has every amenity you'd ever want in a luxury boat, and with its freshened appearance for 2013, it looks modern, integrating the company's new spindle grille into an overall package that's elegant. None of this is bad news. But let me explain why I still cannot wrap my head around the overall LS 600h L package:

Lexus' Detroit reveal is RC F, will have 460-hp V8

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Yesterday, we brought you the image above, sent out by Lexus, teasing its Detroit Auto Show reveal. At the time, all we knew about the car was that it's a coupe, and falls into the automaker's F performance line. But now, some more details have leaked.
An anonymous tipster passed us a link to this website, which Lexus is using to invite folks to an event at the Detroit show where the new RC F coupe will be revealed. But that same tipster also sent us a scan of the mailed-out invitation, shown at right (click the image to enlarge), which clearly states that the RC F will be powered by a 460-horsepower V8. The invite also says Lexus will show its 2015 RC 350 coupe in Detroit, following its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in November.
We cannot totally verify the authenticity of the scanned invitation, but with a corresponding website live on the web, it all looks pretty legit to us. Stay tuned for more details closer to the RC F's debut in January.
