2001 Lexus Is300 on 2040-cars
Fishers, Indiana, United States
|
Thank you for looking at my auction! I’m selling my 2001 IS300 with no reserve. It has 171,000 miles and will climb slightly as I do drive the car a small amount every day. It is loaded with power windows, power door locks, ac, cruise control, heated leather and suede seats, power sunroof, factory HID headlights, and yellow fog lights. It is an automatic with a manual mode for use with shifters located on the steering wheel. It also has traction control and sport mode. I have the original owner’s manual and 2 sets of keys. Everything works and functions as it should; this car runs and drives really well! Exterior: The
black paint is in really great shape, as it has been repainted at some point.
The rear bumper has some scrapes under the paint, but they are not very severe.
The driver’s side rocker panel has a small dent in the very lower portion that
should be fairly visible in the photos. There are not any major dents or dings
on the exterior and there is no rust whatsoever. The factory headlights have
been repainted to look like JDM lights a shave the fog lights. The front grill
is a TRD replica, but looks very nice and fits very well. There is a small rock
chip in the windshield, but it was repaired a few years ago and hasn't grown or
spread since. There are some small scrapes on the driver’s front corner, but
other than that, they exterior is really awesome! I wash it regularly and
revive a lot of compliments on it. No one believes it’s a 2001! Interior: The
interior is in unbelievable shape; all of the interior features work as they
should. The leather and suede seats show very little wear. There are no tears
in the seats or carpets. The original floor mats are in wonderful shape as
well. The head unit has been replaced with a Pioneer unit that has Bluetooth,
iPod connectivity, and iPhone AppMode for GPS, Pandora, and other apps from
your iPhone. There is a noise-cancelling microphone located to the left of the rear-view mirror and works very well. There aren't any loud rattles or squeaks
and nothing seems to be broken. Drivetrain: The
engine and transmission seem to be in perfect working order. The previous owner
told me he had the major service done around 115,000 miles which should have
included a full fluid “flush-and-fill”, the timing belt, tensioner, water pump,
and thermostat. I can’t verify that this has been done, but I don’t have any
reason to doubt it. It idles nice and smooth and shifts through the gears
swiftly and smoothly. I've changed the oil recently and it doesn't use a drop.
It doesn't leak anything either. There is a check engine light on, and when
checked out at the dealership, they told me it was for the oxygen sensor in
“bank 1”. I never got around to replacing it, but they are about $75 online. It’s
very clean underneath, especially for its age. The wheels are stock, but they
have been painted satin black. The tires are new Bridgestone Blizzaks; the
fronts are 205-45-17 and the rears are 215-45-17. This wasn't on purpose, but
the difference is not visibly noticeable at all. These tires are amazing in bad
weather! I’ll never drive a car through the winter without them again! Again,
thank you for looking at my car! I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere and
it has been a champ in the sub-zero conditions that Indiana has suffered
through this winter. If you have any questions about this car, feel free to let
me know. I’m happy to answer anything I can for you or provide additional
photos. I've done my best to describe this car openly and honestly. It I've left anything out, it wasn't on purpose and I will not be held responsible.
This is a used car and is being sold as-is, where-is. I reserve the right to end the auction early, as I do have it for sale locally as well. Thank you! |

2014 Lexus IS 250 AWD F Sport
Fri, 08 Nov 2013"Ooh, this looks fun!" my otherwise car-ignorant friend said as we walked up to the 2014 Lexus IS 250 F Sport. And yeah, it does look fun. In fact, despite my initial strong negative reaction to the design, I've really warmed up to this new IS, especially with the flashier F Sport package found on this test car (unique front fascia, 18-inch dark alloy wheels and appropriate badging). Even though that rear end still looks a bit Droopy Dog to me (stop frowning, Lexus), the IS is sharp, though I'm not entirely sure that such a bold design will age well.
"Looks can be deceiving," I told my friend, and we hit the road... slowly. You see, despite looking like a fresh, modern sport sedan, the IS 250 still uses what is, quite frankly, a dog of an engine. And that, combined with dynamics that are just so-so at best, makes for a sedan that's all show and no go. Say hello to Jennifer Slowpez.
Driving Notes
2014 Lexus IS brings boldest design yet to entry-level luxury
Tue, 15 Jan 2013Lexus is evidently dead serious about removing some of the starch from its collar, as evidenced by the boldly styled new IS sedan just unveiled here at the Detroit Auto Show. We didn't know what to make of Lexus' entry-level sport sedan when we first saw images of it earlier this week. Dominated by the gaping maw of a spindle grille and flanked by headlamps with Nike swoosh daytime running lamps, the photos showed a distinctive (if not completely cohesive) design. Having now seen the design in the metal, we have to admit it comes together better than it does on screen.
The new model will feature both rear- and all-wheel drive models in both 2.5-liter V6 (IS250) and 3.5-liter V6 (IS350) trims. Lexus also showed an IS300h hybrid model at the reveal, but it is earmarked for Lexus' home market of Japan, along with Europe and other markets. No word yet on why the model probably won't be sold here in North America, but our AutoblogGreen compatriots are looking into it.
Aside from its bold new look front and rear, the IS carries forward a lot of the ideas seen in other newer Lexus models, namely the GS. Hidden beneath the IS' sheetmetal is the multilink rear suspension from the GS, along with its electric power steering setup. The new IS rides atop a three-inch longer wheelbase for better rear seat room, but during our brief time sitting in the car at the press conference melee, it still didn't feel terribly roomy (it rarely does in this class). At least the seatbacks fold 60/40 for the first time for additional utility.
2015 Lexus RC 300h is a hardcore hybrid cherry coupe
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Lexus is tag-teaming back into the hardcore coupe ring with this, the red rum RC 300h that's jumping off the top rope to "[inject] emotional appeal into the Lexus DNA." It's the hybrid version of the twin, powered by a 2.5-liter V6 aided by a 105-kW electric motor, the pair putting out 217 total horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque through a continuously variable transmission. The RC's other, more conventional half will come with a 3.5-liter V6 with 314 hp and 380 lb-ft shifted with an eight-speed sequential transmission.
The brand doesn't want you to take this RC Coupe for a two-door version of the IS. It's based on the GS platform but its dimensions are unique, being wider, lower and shorter in wheelbase than the IS. Concept-car headlights flank the most extreme version of the spindle grille yet seen on a production car, and the lighting novelty continuing in the cabin with illumination that is aimed up instead of down. The package will ride on either 18- or 19-inch wheels.
The "high contrast," dual-zone cabin is graced with shimamoku wood and Lexus' Remote Touch Interface, and Lexus says the seats have been conceived via an "integrated foaming construction method" like racing seats - we think they look spectacular stitched up in this carmel-colored leather.
