2006 Lexus Gs on 2040-cars
Lomax, Illinois, United States
This is probably one of the better Lexus GS300 AWD vehicles available for sale today.
When I decided on a Lexus GS300 AWD in March of 2014, I looked at every one that came on the market within a 150
mile radius. This was by far the best one I found. I think I looked at and drove more than thirty. There were many
that advertised an “accident free” history, but when I got there the car had obviously been hit. There even was
one that the seller insisted had never been in an accident, but the back door could not be opened more then 18”
wide, and made much noise when being opened. I must confess that I am a very discerning buyer when it comes to
cars. This car had the full history from when the car was first purchased from the dealer, was the cleanest inside,
and the body showed NO evidence of ever having been hit. I looked for three months before finding this car.
The car has 111.650 miles on it, but many of the engine parts are NEW. Since I purchased the car in June of 2014
the following parts on the engine have been replaced:
New alternator, December 2014
New gasket kit, December 2014
New piston ring set, December 2014
New gasket, December 2014
New water pump, December 2014
I took it into the Lexus dealer because I felt it was consuming too much oil. Lexus tested it and found that the
oil control rings were clogged. Lexus replaced the oil control rings, piston rings, valve seals and cleaned those
areas. Many of the engine parts are now new, so the engine is probably in better shape than others for sale with
fewer miles. While they had the engine apart I opted to have the water pump and alternator replaced also.
I really like this car and do not really want to sell it, but I have no choice. I had an injury prior to buying the
car, and did not realize at that time what medical issues and expenses would come before the end of the year. I am
only selling it because I need cash. I have purchased an older ES300, and am, unfortunately, selling this car.
Here is what the dealer said about the car when it came in on trade.

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.
Toyota may return to F1 under Lexus banner
Wed, 03 Apr 2013A 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 GS F coming in 2016 with 500 hp
Sat, 06 Sep 2014The Lexus GS F has been one of those cars that's been rumored and whispered about for years, but has never come to fruition. The last time we spoke of the Lexus-badged BMW M5-killer was in a crop of spy photos, posted one year ago yesterday. So what's behind this latest rekindled round of rumors?
Well, according to Autocar, sources have claimed that the GS F will hit markets in 2016, and that it will make use of a more potent version of the Lexus RC F's 5.0-liter V8 that will sing to the tune of 500 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission from ZF will be included, as will a Torsen limited-slip diff. Taken as a whole, the executive sedan should get to 60 in the mid-four-second range and accelerate to a top speed of 170 miles per hour.
Prices in the UK will start at 80,000 pounds ($130,000 at today's rates, but as we know, translating British prices to American prices is an inexact science), and right away, we run into a big issue.
