1999 Lexus Rx300 Base Sport Utility 4-door 3.0l-project-needs Work on 2040-cars
Waxahachie, Texas, United States
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! |

Lexus to display turbocharged LF-NX Concept at Tokyo Motor Show
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Concept cars typically have a short lifespan. They debut at a major international auto show, then make the rounds of the lesser local shows, and that's pretty much it. They might be loaned out for test drives or put on display in a museum, but by and large they've had their fifteen minutes of fame by that point. That said, Japan's automakers have found a way to keep these show cars going and keep them in the news. They're modifying them and giving them a fresh lease on life.
That's what Subaru is doing with the Viziv concept for the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show, and what Lexus is doing as well with the LF-NX concept. Having already unveiled the crossover concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Lexus is fitting the LF-NX with a new 2.0-liter turbo engine. (But then, as far as we could tell, Lexus never revealed engine specs for the concept in the first place.)
To go with the turbo engine, Lexus has also fitted the concept with a new front splitter, but otherwise it's the same - and even appears to be wearing the same liquid-metal paint, unlike the LF-LC concept that got repainted from red to blue when its limelight was starting to fade.
Lexus NX debuts in turbocharged and hybrid guise
Sun, 20 Apr 2014Lexus showed off its polarizing new NX at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, trotting out both the turbocharged 200t model (Lexus' first production turbo) alongside the hybrid-powered 300h.
We still don't know a great deal about the turbocharged model, aside from the fact that the engine underhood is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, although we're hoping to get details sooner rather than later. For reference, the 2.0-liter turbo in the BMW X1 pumps out 240 horsepower while the four-pot turbo in the Mercedes-Benz GLA250 turns out 208 horsepower, which leads us to think we should expect the Lexus to fall somewhere between these two figures.
If Lexus' naming strategy in the past rings true here, though, we can confidently say the 300h will use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson cycle engine with an electric motor and lithium-ion battery, just like the Lexus ES300h and Toyota Avalon Hybrid. That should mean around 200 system horsepower and well over 30 miles per gallon, although it's probably too early to predict economy with any degree of certainty.
2015 Lexus RC 350 F Sport snarls in Switzerland with darkened demeanor
Tue, 04 Mar 2014Lexus is finally ready to return to the coupe market with the new RC, and while we already saw it in Detroit, it brought the new RC 350 F Sport version for the Geneva Motor Show.
The car packs 306 horsepower and 277 pound-feet from its 3.5-liter V6 and is meant to sit between the standard RC 350 Sport Coupe and the full bore RC F.
Most obvious when you glimpse the coupe is the more aggressive spindle grille with a new mesh treatment and dark, 19-inch F Sport wheels. The interior also receives a host of upgrades with Rioja Red leather and Silver Performance trim, plus perforated leather trim on the steering wheel and shift knob. There is a bit of LFA inspiration as well with the F Sport getting its moving center ring instrument display. It is not all about better style though because the coupe also gets adaptive dampers and an optional four-wheel steering system.
