1997 Lexus Sc300 Arizona Car New Car Trade on 2040-cars
Beaver, Pennsylvania, United States
|
First off our company Del-Hon Autosales has been in business for over 30 years at the same location about 30 miles north west of Pittsburgh. You can contact us Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm and on Saturday from 9am-3pm @724-728-8883 ask for Vince or Leyton.
We acquired this car off of a new car dealer who received it on trade. It was Registered in PA on March 8th, 2012 otherwise it has spent its entire life in Arizona. If it was not winter here in Pittsburgh this car would most likely have been sold already. We have set a reserve just under $5000. This car deserves to be garage kept. Our 1997 SC300 came out of Arizona and stayed there for the majority of its life. Typically you would never find a car of this age around here which has not been affected by the salt & chemicals on the road. The motor and transmission are extremely reliable as it is known as the LEGENDARY 2JZ which came in the Toyota Supras from 1993-98. There is a switch near the shifter which allows you to change the cars performance between economy and power mode. The transmission shifts smoothly on econ mode and raises the rpms on shifts during the power setting to allow for better performance. This is the luxury big brother of the Supra minus the turbo. If your a car guy this motor could be turbocharged quite easily. The timing belt has been replaced by a Lexus dealership previously @89,317 and the date of that was 1/30/2007. I would not hesitate to drive our SC300 across the country tomorrow if needed. The interior is in really great shape. The carpets are clean and the power leather seats are rip free. The power mirrors, windows, locks, tilt wheel, sunroof, and seats all work as they should. We have never seen a car like this which has such highly reinforced door hinges. You can tell this car was built with great quality and pride. As I previously stated in the vehicle condition description there is a small crack in the vinyl above the armrest on the drivers door. If you are looking for style this car has plenty of that. The paint and body are in great shape. It really sparkles in the sun shine. The chrome factory Lexus wheels really makes this ride stand out. The tires are atleast 70% if not better. No rust whatsoever and no raised spots where rust may eventually appear. Its a southern car!!! Read the vehicle description for the minor dings and small scratch which keeps the body from having a 10/10 rating. I would rate it at a 9 or better out of 10. All of the logos are on the car and there are no flaws with any of them. We are showing under body pictures car to show the quality of this SC300. This is truly a rare car for its age and condition. Feel free to ask any questions and to give us a call. If you want to come look at it before the auction ends you are more than welcome. We have in house notary service and have the title on hand. Buyer is responsible to set up shipping but if needed we can refer someone. We greatly appreciate your interest. Let the bidding begin! |

Why Lexus shies away from plug-in hybrids
Mon, Apr 20 2015Lexus may have softened its stance a bit from the anti plug-in vehicle ads the Toyota luxury badge ran last year, but at least one executive from the company casts a pretty critical eye towards the concept as a way to cut both emissions and refueling costs. In fact, Lexus doesn't really buy the fact that buyers of plug-in hybrids are really looking to save both gas and the environment, Green Car Reports says, citing an interview at the recent New York Auto Show with Lexus executive Mark Templin. Templin also said hydrogen fuel-cell technology may be a better way to edge towards zero emissions. Templin decried plug-in hybrid technology because it adds weight to vehicles, which contributes to poor emissions figures in the process. He added that plug-in vehicle buyers are motivated more by potential tax credits and solo driving rights in high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes than cutting back on fuel use. Last summer, Lexus ran an supposedly tongue-in-cheek print ad poking fun at how long it takes to charge a plug-in vehicle and how using air conditioning can shorten a car's charging range. Last spring, Lexus had to backpedal from an anti-electric ad it ran that had serious mistakes about hydrogen infrastructure. News Source: Green Car Reports Green Lexus Toyota Hybrid PHEV
Toyota and Lexus recalling 235,000 hybrid CUVs and sedans over separate issues
Wed, 04 Sep 2013When it rains, it pours. Toyota has announced a pair of separate but voluntary North America recalls covering approximately 235,000 vehicles built between 2006 and 2011. The larger of the two recalls targets Toyota's hybridized crossovers, the Lexus RX400h and Toyota Highlander Hybrid. 133,000 units, including 2006-2010 Highlander and 2006-2008 RX crossovers are covered in the campaign. The other recall affects 102,000 IS350 sedans, IS350C convertibles and GS350 sedans built between 2006 and 2011.
With the CUVs, the faults in the parallel circuits of the transistors can cause heat damage in the inverter assembly, triggering an abundance of warning lamps and sending the vehicle into limp mode. The Lexus sedans are being recalled due to loose bolts on the variable valve timing controller. Detected by unusual underhood sounds on startup, the issue can cause the engine to stop while driving. The inverter issue is also triggering similar recalls in Japan and Europe.
At the moment, it's unclear if any of these issues have caused any crashes or injuries. Toyota says it plans to notify owners of the recall via snail mail. Additional information for owners can be found on the recall sites for Toyota and Lexus or by calling Toyota's customer service line, at 1-800-331-4331.

Lexus ES350 confirmed for Kentucky production starting in 2015
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Following Thursday's report, Toyota has confirmed that production of the Lexus ES will move to its Georgetown, KY assembly plant starting in 2015. To accommodate the extra 50,000 units of capacity that the ES represents, Toyota will be investing $360 million in the plant and hiring 750 new workers.
In the previous report, sources stated that the state of Kentucky had offered Toyota as much as $146.5 million to move ES production to the Georgetown facility.
The press release, posted below, specifies that only the ES350 will be built in Kentucky, so it's likely that the ES300h hybrid will continue to be built in Japan - where all ES models have been built since the car was introduced in 1989. Toyota's Georgetown plant, which currently builds the Toyota Camry, will also be getting an expansion to its engine plant to produce more four-cylinder engines at a cost of $30 million and will create an additional 80 jobs.
