Up for sale is my 2002 Lexus SC430 Convertible

The interior is in incredible condition, no rips/splits/cracks/worn seams, the interior is just amazing.  Full power and heated front seats, headrests lift and tilt, very comfortable to drive.  Although the rear seats are in equally great condition, they are also the reason we decided to sell it; we need more leg-room for backseat passengers.  The exterior is a nice deep gloss black, takes well to a good wash/buff/wax, very sharp.  Navigation system works fine, the Mark Levinson stereo system sounds really nice, Cd player can be a bit finicky (doesn't like to play particular CDs), the power antenna does not extend but the radio still picks up my local channels just fine.  The climate control center has a couple of dead pixels (see pic, basically where a "5" doesn't show up as a full five, or a "9" doesn't show as a full nine - only on a couple of spots, not the entire screen), it's still easy to view and understand.  The air conditioning is not ice cold.

The exterior has a couple of dime-sized pings here and there - I took a picture of one of them to help describe what I mean.  There is an area on the bottom of the front bumper (passenger side) that has some curb scratches below the fog light, see photos for more details.  The convertible top goes up and down smooth, no grinding or stalling - very fast operation.  I'll be posting a video shortly that shows it in operation, along with the engine starting/running.  Please review the video to see top functioning and engine start & run.

The engine runs good, transmission shifts nice and smooth, no issues with rear-end, brakes are nice and solid, car tracks good and straight, tires are in good healthy condition appear to have plenty amount of tread left, the rims have some scratches on the edges but nothing overly critical, exhaust is nice a crisp deep sound.  Timing belt was changed about 52K miles ago, so you have about 38K miles before it should be changed again according to Lexus.

Although the car has a lot of miles on it, it certainly doesn't show.  Toyota/Lexus has used this engine in a number of models, and there are plenty running around with well over 300K miles on them.  This is not a cheap 150K/mile throw-away car, Toyota/Lexus is known for building long-life cars.  I cannot guarantee anything will not go wrong, but the likelihood is certainly much lower than most any other manufacturer.  I'm selling the car as-is/where-is, no warranties expressed or implied.  I'm more than happy to answer questions, and I'm also willing to help your shipping company get the car loaded.  Buyer is responsible for making shipping arrangements and paying any shipping fees.

I apologize for the pictures being a little dark, I didn't want to take the car outside because of the ice and rain.  As soon as we have some good sun I'll switch out the pictures for some sunny shots.  I have the title in-hand and ready to transfer.

Thanks.

Houston repair shop disappears and takes man's Lexus with it

Mon, Feb 13 2017

A man in Houston, Texas, is out his sweet new Lexus after the small-time repair shop he took it to just up and disappeared along with his car last month. According to KPRC, Randy Exom purchased a Lexus ES300 back in November and immediately took it to On Site Auto Repair in Northwest Houston to deal with some used car issues. To pay for the work, Exom set up a bi-weekly payment plan with the shop's owner. This arrangement worked out fine until January 19, when Exom showed up to make his payment and discovered that the shop had disappeared. "Everything was going fine up until I came there to make a payment and there was an eviction sign posted, sign on the door, and the regular cars that were in the lot weren't there anymore," Exom told KPRC. Eventually, he was able to reach the shop's owner to get an explanation but it wasn't the one he wanted. "I gave him a call and I said, 'Hey, there's an eviction notice here. Did you move?' He said, 'Yeah, I'm at 59 and Little York now." The fact that the owner didn't give him an exact address raised some alarms, and upon further review it seems that Exom's suspicions were justified. It turns out that the shop's owner, Shawn Gee, has a history of shady automotive dealing. Last fall, KPRC reported cases of cars going missing from a shop at 59 and Little York. That shop, which is now closed, was owned by Gee's brother. On February 10, Exom finally found his car in an impound lot with the rest of the cars from Gee's shop nearly a full month after it went missing. He told KPRC that the impound lot wants $800 to release his car. He told reporters that he wished Gee had called him and worked the situation out like a real businessman. "My thing is my car was in your possession and you should have made some type of contact with me and say, 'Hey this is what's going on, sir,'" he said. KPRC reached Gee by phone on February 10 and he declined to give an on-camera interview. He did confirm the eviction and said that he was working with customers to get their impounded vehicles back.

2016 Lexus GS 200t First Drive

Thu, Dec 17 2015

Last year, Lexus rolled out an ad for its GS that featured several luxury rivals swinging on pendulums, with a hypnotic voiceover that derides the BMW 5 Series' standard four-cylinder engine. The ad then asks viewers to, "Open your eyes to the six-cylinder, eight-speed Lexus GS." Oh, how times have changed. Consider the facelifted Lexus GS 200t and its four-cylinder turbocharged engine an admission that maybe the Germans are on to something. It's good to see Lexus getting with the times, but after a drive in Southern California, we find the first turbocharged GS comes up short in a lot of ways. This is the same engine Lexus uses in the NX, IS, and RC with 200t designations. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder uses a twin-scroll turbo, direct injection, and Toyota's most advanced continuously variable valve timing to produce 241 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. That's 70 horsepower short of the GS 350's 3.5-liter V6. But torque is down only 22 fewer lb-ft, and the 200t's broad peak torque, from 1,650 to 4,400 rpm, promises ample usable power. The 200t offers little reward for the slower acceleration. As for that previously-mocked BMW 5 series, the Lexus has nearly identical output. But a 7.0-second 0-60 time is nearly a full second slower than the BMW's claim for the 528i, a car that weighs practically the same as the Lexus. Fuel economy is another head-scratcher. Lexus estimates the GS 200t F Sport returns just 20 miles per gallon in the city and 30 mpg on the highway, three and four mpg less than the 5er. This brand-new 2.0-liter turbo is hardly more efficient than the three-year-old GS 350. The V6 model nets 19 mpg city and 28 mpg on the highway, and is 1.3 seconds quicker to 60 mph. A smaller engine almost always means sacrificing performance for economy, but based on the figures the 200t offers little reward for the slower acceleration. At least the 200t is better from behind the wheel than on paper. We weren't that impressed by the low-end grunt of Lexus' 2.0-liter turbo when we drove it in the NX, but different gearing in the GS means snappier off-the-line behavior. Once the turbo catches up you're well into the heart of the torque curve, and the GS feels quicker than a seven-second jog to 60 mph. Mid-range punch is the engine's most endearing quality. Passing moves are easy and entertaining, even when you're already traveling at or above freeway speeds. Unfortunately, the engine gasps above 4,400 rpm.
