1998 Lexus Lx470 Base Sport Utility 4-door 4.7l on 2040-cars
Vero Beach, Florida, United States
|
I am the original owner of this 1998 Lexus LX470 which I purchased when I lived in California. This is a nice used car. It was been well maintained over the years. I replaced the battery in January 2014. Complete service and new muffler at 177,809 miles ( Feb. 2014). Oxygen sensors replaced at 179,463 miles. New windshield in February 2014. I had rust removed and some repainting done two years ago. There is a new rust spot on the back door and the back wiper is rusted. The outer handle on rear door is rusted off, but the remaining handle does the job and the door opens with no problem. The front grill is cracked on the passenger side. Otherwise the body is in good shape for a 16 year old car. The Lexus suspension system was replaced four years ago with a complete Toyota Land Cruiser suspension system from Slee Off Road, consequently, the height system doesn't function. This car has been in a couple of "fender-bender" accidents when I lived in California, neither one causing much damage. Both times the car was repaired to 'as new' condition. One of the jump-seats was accidentally left up north but will be shipped to buyer. The interior is in good shape, only normal wear and tear is evident. Non-smoking vehicle. |

Episode #339 of the Autoblog Podcast is here, and it's the last rodeo for Zach Bowman before he departs for other pastures. The crew this week consists of Dan Roth, Zach Bowman and Jeff Ross, who talk about the astounding records set at this year's Pike's Peak hill climb, the return of the Datsun brand name and the recently-announced 2014 Ram truck lineup. Of course, we start with the garage and end with your questions and comments. For those of you who hung with us live on our UStream channel, thanks for taking the time.

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
Toyota and Lexus show off advanced safety research vehicle [w/video]
Tue, 08 Jan 2013While Google and Audi explore the possibilities of autonomous vehicles, Toyota and its Lexus division are studying the intermediate step of vehicles equipped with a deep suite of technology that help drivers make the best decisions. Introduced at this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the Lexus advanced safety research vehicle is an LS sedan fitted with three high-def color cameras to detect objects up to almost 500 feet away, 360-degree Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) lasers that can detect objects up to 220 feet away, three radar units to keep track of other vehicles at intersections, a precision odometer on the rear wheel, GPS that estimates orientation and an accelerometer.
Currently testing at a purpose-built 8.6 acre urban testing ground at the Higashi-Fuji Technical Center in Susono, Japan the Toyota research vehicle is being used to study how to make better drivers, as well as figuring out how to reduce crashes as the industry's journey through passive and active safety systems progresses. In the event of a crash, new rescue systems are also being tested.
Further investment is being put into the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) that would use shortwave signals to harness information from the car and from other vehicles on the road, as well as roadside infrastructure and even pedestrians. Toyota reasons it could then build a picture of interactions and, for instance, alert the driver to a potential collision at a blind intersection.
