Up for sale is a 1998 Lexus LS400. It's black/gray on black. Here are a few of the highlights:
- 87k miles
- Major accident free
- Upgraded Nakamichi audio
- 98-00 model years received more hp/tq (290/300) as well as a revised 5-speed transmission ( I average 25+ mpg on the highway with a 15-year old V8!)
Mechanically, the car has no current issues. However, it will be due for the 90k-mile water pump replacement soon. An oil change is also due in a few hundred miles, but I can have that done for the prospective buyer at no charge. The suspension feels soft, but I'm not sure if it's due to age or if that's just how an LS400 is supposed to ride. When I bought the car, the pre-purchase inspection noted the following items be replaced:
- Outer ball joints (not done)
- Strut bars (not done)
- Y-pipe (done 1/2/13)
- Serpentine belt (done 1/7/13)
- Passenger mirror motor (mirror assembly replaced 1/6/13)
I purchased the car from an individual in New York in December of 2012. It passed the pre-purchase inspection at Bay Ridge Lexus, so I drove it back to Baltimore with no problem. The work performed above was done to pass MD state inspection and I've had no issues with the car since then. The tires only have a few thousand miles on them, and are a full matching set of Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-2s. The brakes have full stopping power without fade or noise. The fluids are all within limits; all electrical items work as they should; all lights are functional. It is truly ready to drive anywhere.
To complete the sale, I require a Paypal deposit of $500 at the conclusion of the auction, with the remaining balance due within 7 days in the form of a cashier's check or wire transfer. The car will not leave my possession unless those terms have been met. Feel free to ask any questions and good luck!

Ever wonder how to really pronounce Japanese automaker names?
Thu, 25 Sep 2014People tend to get very set in their ways when it comes to the pronunciation of words. Just look at the endless debates over whether or not to say the final 'e' in Porsche (which you should in terms of correct German enunciation). Or the argument about whether to follow the British convention and give the 'u' in Jaguar a special delivery or to say the 'ua' diphthong as more of a 'w' sound, as usually happens in the US.
This short video doesn't answer either of those automotive questions, but it does allow a native Japanese speaker to demonstrate the accepted pronunciations for several, major automakers from the country. One benefit is that it clears up the occasional debate over whether Nissan should be said with a long or short 'i' sound. Also, listen closely to how the female host says Mazda as Matsuda, the way it's actually said in the language. Even if this doesn't change the way you enunciate these brands, at least now you know the accurate way in Japanese.
Lexus to reveal production NX crossover at Beijing in April
Thu, 06 Mar 2014At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Lexus rolled out a concept crossover called the LF-NX. It then brought it back, with a new paint job and a turbocharged engine, at the Tokyo Motor Show a few months later. We got another glimpse a couple of months after that during a presentation from Jim Lentz. But now Toyota has confirmed that the finalized production version is just around the corner.
While all the attention is affixed on the Geneva Motor Show, Toyota released a statement (which you can read below) announcing that the NX (as it will officially be known) will debut next month at the Beijing Motor Show. Set to be positioned below the RX, the new NX will tackle what Lexus terms as "the growing segment of premium compact crossovers," taking on the likes of the Audi Q3, BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLK.
Next-gen Lexus IS design revealed to be swoopiest yet
Wed, 09 Jan 2013We drove it while it was covered in cloth and vinyl not long ago, but before the 2014 Lexus IS350 F-Sport gets revealed at the Detroit Auto Show and we find out everything about it, Lexus has graced us with images. In addition to the spindle grille - with an elevated waistline on the F-Sport - the coming IS gets a jagged set of dual-beam headlights with L-shaped DRLs that are, for the first time on a Lexus, separate from the main units. Further back, the side sills get a twist and intense sculpting throughout the length of the longer wheelbase.
Inside is an LFA-inspired cockpit with thinner sport seats and more room in just about every area, the moving "driver's meter" in the dash cluster, electrostatic controls for cabin temperature control, 60/40 folding rear seats and "metal film 3-D-effect ornamentation."
The F-Sport package will be available on the IS250, IS350, IS300h equipped with Lexus Hybrid Drive. The hybrid will not come to the US.
