This Lexus was left for me after my Grandfather passed away in September of 2013. My uncle had replaced the engine around 2 years ago with one that has roughly 120,000 miles on it, but the entire SUV has about 240,000 miles on it total. I drove it from Houston back to Waxahachie and it ran great, and only needed minor work (O2 Sensors) A few months ago I was going to trade it for a Harley when the thermostat went out and overheated on me. I'm pretty sure the head gasket needs to be replaced. I was going to do the Blue Steel liquid treatment and get it fixed up, but now I just want to get rid of it to pay off some bills. So here's the run down. 

The Good:
CLEAN TITLE
Brakes were very recently replaced. 
AWESOME stereo system. 
Leather Seats
A/C Unit was replaced less than 2 years ago. 
Engine was replaced 2 years ago as well, and has an estimated 120,000 miles on it. 
If you decide to part it out, it has PLENTY of good parts on it to sell. I have no interest in parting it out. 

The Not-so-good:
Thermostat needs to be replaced.
Check engine light is on (for many obvious reasons)
As stated in the title, it more than likely needs the head gasket replaced. 
The O2/Air sensors need to be replaced as well, BUT I will provide them. They're almost $300 new, and I bought them right before it broke down on me. 
The number six spark plug needs to be replaced (probably from anti-freeze getting into the cylinder when the gasket blew)
Needs a new knock sensor. 
Battery is dead. 
Radio antenna motor needs to be replaced. 
Windshield has long crack in it. 
Paint on front bumper, and headlights is flaking. 

Before the head gasket blew, I drove it to work from Waxahachie to Las Colinas every day, and made weekend trips to Austin regularly as well. It was a strong running SUV, with lots of room. Kelly Blue Book values it at $3897.00 in it's current condition, but I'd like $2800 for it for quick sale, or best offer. Obviously this is a project, so you would need to get it towed. I previously had one offer for $3300 but the guy can't pick it up until October and I really don't want to wait that long. You could try to do a liquid head gasket treatment and see if that solves the problem and have yourself a nice Lexus for a decent price. Or you could part it out and make even more money off it!

I WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY SHIPPING ON THIS VEHICLE. YOU MUST HAVE IT TOWED FROM WAXAHACHIE, TEXAS (30 minutes south of Dallas)  THE LEXUS IS BEING SOLD AS-IS. 

If you have ANY questions, please let me know!

Optimistic Lexus bumps US sales target higher

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last year Lexus sold 244,166 cars in the US, slotting into third place in the luxury segment behind BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Earlier this year Lexus said its target was 260,000 units in the US (which would still put it behind BMW's and Mercedes' numbers from last year), but Automotive News reports that it has raised its upper outlook to 270,000 cars.
The half-year pace hasn't been enough to make either number, but Lexus is gunning for a 15-percent gain in IS sales behind the arrival of the 2014 model, and this is also the first full year of sales of the new ES and LS. Lexus will most likely end the year in third place in the luxury segment behind BMW and Mercedes again, even if it does sell 270,000 units, but has said its prime directive is "good, steady growth."

This is Lexus' trick 3D ad in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Having driven its RC F into the party at the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, Lexus is making the most of the exposure. We recently saw the blue coupe showing off its L-Finesse curves with a curvaceous Lisalla Montenegro. And a new video shows how the magazine ad will also work without a bikinied sidekick, showing off the Lexus' own body and sounds in a 3D app for iOS and Android.
After downloading the app and the 3D image for your tablet or phone, the 450-horsepower RC F will be yours to play with - or, as Lexus suggests, yours to "create the 3D experience in your own hands." You didn't have any other plans for your hands while checking out the new issue, did you? The video below will show you how it's done.
