This car was purchased by me here on ebay in October 2012 for $9000 (the pictures are gone but the item 130775842660 with the description from original seller is still available via search and it shows the VIN number).  After examining the car (including running computerized diagnostics) my mechanic was very pleased with it - everything looked great, in fact he was surprised how well it was maintained by previous owner.  It did not need anything - not even brakes or tires or other minor stuff you might expect to change when buying used car. The car passed inspection without any issues whatsoever.  I only got to drive it a couple of times though.  On October 29th it was flooded by Hurricane Sandy.  The water came and went within hours so I don't know for sure how high it got but for the purpose of this auction I will assume 2-4 feet of salt water or whatever is enough to enter and compromise all systems.  I did not attempt to start the car afterwards, it is still parked at the same spot were it was at the time it got flooded.  I only vacuumed the water from the inside and spent some time air drying the interior.  It was not done to conceal the fact that the car was flooded but to prevent mold and odors because I was told that otherwise all the uphostery would need to be replaced.  It worked - the car does not have musty/moldy smell.  However, I want to point out again - 

I HAVE NOT TRIED TO START THE CAR, PLEASE ASSUME THAT IT DOES NOT RUN, IT WAS FLOODED BY SALT WATER DURING HURRICANE SANDY.  

The title is clear.

The car will need to be picked up and towed by the buyer at their expense (from zip code 11224).

$200 deposit due within one day of the auction end.

Toyota may return to F1 under Lexus banner

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

A new report in from the website Club Lexus claims to have insider knowledge about a return to Formula One racing by Toyota, this time under the auspices of the Lexus brand. Toyota competed in F1 from 2002 through the 2009 season. That final year saw the team return competitive, if inconsistent results, but the larger economic woes in the automotive market made a decision to pull the plug relatively easy at the time.
Now, citing recent interviews with Toyota executives and insider sources, Club Lexus says that the move to re-enter F1 for the 2014 season is "all but finalized." The choice to go with the Lexus nameplate over Toyota makes some sense, too, considering the success that rival Infiniti has had in recent years through its partnership with Red Bull Racing. Further, the emerging Lexus identity as a performance car builder, with a strong background in hybrid vehicles, could help the F1 move resonate with buyers.
A few technological factors and formula changes within F1 offer some credence to the Lexus rumor, too. F1 will increase the available capacity of KERS from 60kW to 120kW, a change that theoretically benefits the hybrid-savvy Toyota. What's more, 2014 will see a switch from the current 2.4-liter V8 engines to 1.6-liter turbocharged V6s. A Lexus team that goes racing in 2014 will be on a level playing field with the rest of the grid then, with all teams adjusting to and continuing to develop the new engines.

Lexus IS commercial made with Instagram photos

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Facebook was so 2010, so it's no surprise that automakers are taking advantage of newer social media applications for their marketing purposes. Most recently, Lexus invited more than 200 followers on Instagram ("Instagrammers"), along with their smartphones, to make a commercial of the 2014 Lexus IS using hundreds of their photos of the car strung together into a video.
Instagram, taking advantage of smartphone cameras, is an application that allows users to shoot, edit and share photos or video online with friends and strangers alike. Lexus's stop-motion Insta-commercial is unique as far as commercials go, with each photo in the sequence sporting a personal touch thanks to the app's photo editor. But, even more impressive is the ability of social media to bring people together for, and involve them in, a commercial shoot. All of which you can watch below. Stay tuned after the commercial to get a look behind the scenes at the making of it all.
