You are bidding on a VERY rare Lexus SC400. This vehicle was one of the first to arrive to the United States from Japan. To prove that, the steering wheel has a "Griffin" instead of the standard "L" from Lexus. This automobile is known as a "Soarer" in Japan & the Japanese actually lost money on the car as it was their entrance into the "High End" car market in the U.S. These cars are highly valued for people that are into "Drifting." I want to make this easy so, here are the upsides and downsides:
UPSIDES:
Brand new tires with less then 100 miles on them
New brakes within the last year
Replaced A/C compressor within the last year and the air blows COLD!
New transmission installed less then 8 months ago along with a power steering pump.
The car has been meticulously taken care of with proper Synthetic Oil Changes and Tire Rotations.
The interior is in good condition as the only defects are with the front passenger seat.
Has Borla exhaust system.
Everything works, sunroof, electric antennae, gauges, etc.
The engine runs STRONG and has no issues whatsoever. 
Lastly, I have all the receipts from the last 4 years as I am the third owner of the car.
Viper Remote keyless entry & starting anti-theft system

DOWNSIDES:
They car grew up on Ohio and the salt (from the winter months) has taken a toll on the undercarriage and the right side of the back rear of the car.
The Trac Control and Engine Light comes on sporadically as a sensor needs replaced under the exhaust (which is difficult due to the corrosion). 
The stereo amplifier is only operating for one side of the speakers and the multi-disc changer is not functioning properly.
She needs a new rack and pinion system as the steering, sporadically, gets difficult...but not often. This can take a toll on the wear of the tires if not corrected.

ANY QUESTIONS...PLEASE CONTACT ME! I don't sell cars for a living and have a 100% positive feedback on Ebay and would like to keep it that way. IF you live in the area, please feel free to come and view/drive the car. I have been as honest and forthright as i can about this vehicle. It is being sold "as is" and listed on other websites and reserve the right to end the auction at any time. 
Thanks and happy bidding!
Jake

Florida police officer injured by DUI suspect after traffic stop

Thu, Jan 8 2015

What started as a fairly normal traffic stop for Sergeant Kerstan Tatro ended with him lying on the ground with a compound fracture in his arm. The policeman in Gulf Breeze, FL, pulled over a woman driving a Lexus SC 430 because her erratic driving suggested that she might be under the influence. It all went well until Tatro asked the driver to perform a field sobriety test and she sped away partially trapping the officer in the car. It was all captured by the cruiser's dashcam. As the woman started to drive away, Tatro tried to grab for the keys. He was too late, though, and she got on the gas. The Lexus ran over the officer's foot and caused the serious injury to his arm. Thankfully, bystanders were at the policeman's side within a few seconds of him being hurt. By coincidence, even Tatro's daughter was driving by the time, and was pretty shaken by her dad's condition. According to the Pensacola News Journal, a witness to the officer's injuries followed the woman to a hotel parking lot and told police where she was. They allegedly found drugs in her possession. Below is a video from the Pensacola News Journal interviewing Tatro, and he gives a thorough account of exactly what happened. This content is hosted by a third party.

Toyota and Lexus show off advanced safety research vehicle [w/video]

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

While Google and Audi explore the possibilities of autonomous vehicles, Toyota and its Lexus division are studying the intermediate step of vehicles equipped with a deep suite of technology that help drivers make the best decisions. Introduced at this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the Lexus advanced safety research vehicle is an LS sedan fitted with three high-def color cameras to detect objects up to almost 500 feet away, 360-degree Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) lasers that can detect objects up to 220 feet away, three radar units to keep track of other vehicles at intersections, a precision odometer on the rear wheel, GPS that estimates orientation and an accelerometer.
Currently testing at a purpose-built 8.6 acre urban testing ground at the Higashi-Fuji Technical Center in Susono, Japan the Toyota research vehicle is being used to study how to make better drivers, as well as figuring out how to reduce crashes as the industry's journey through passive and active safety systems progresses. In the event of a crash, new rescue systems are also being tested.
Further investment is being put into the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) that would use shortwave signals to harness information from the car and from other vehicles on the road, as well as roadside infrastructure and even pedestrians. Toyota reasons it could then build a picture of interactions and, for instance, alert the driver to a potential collision at a blind intersection.

Lexus IS, new and old, and LFA to make splash at SEMA

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Lexus has announced its Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show cars: a group of eight Lexus IS sedans spanning all three generations, and a 2012 LFA supercar. One of the show cars, a custom 2014 Lexus IS 350 F Sport, is a creation penned by IS fan Rob Evans, the winner of a contest to design a Lexus SEMA show car.
The standouts in the group of Lexus IS show cars, in no particular order, are a 700-horsepower 2014 Lexus IS 340 (it has a heavily modified Toyota Supra inline six swapped in, which is stroked out to 3.4 liters, hence the nomenclature change) by Philip Case and a supercharged 2004 Lexus IS 300 by Maricar Cortez. Both cars prove that oldies can be goodies - the venerable Supra 2JZTE engine, which ceased production over a decade ago, lives on in a 2014 platform, and the 2004 IS 300 gets a supercharger and remains relevant through the use of electronics, such as a back-up radar sensor, upgraded headlights and more.
Of course, the LFA by Guy S. De Alwis will be a stand out on its own, but unfortunately Lexus only provided us with a couple pictures that don't do it justice. We'll have to take a closer look at it on the show floor. Same goes for the IS penned by contest-winner Rob Evans, of which only a rendering was provided.
