1997 Lexus LX 450

165,748 miles

White with Tan Leather

Front, center and rear Locking Differentials that engage and disengage properly

Mostly Southern Truck: 3 years in Florida, then 3 Years in Ohio, then the previous owner owned it for the last 11 years in Georgia

Only a little minor rust on the undercarriage, see pics

No Check Engine Light

Cold AC 

Power windows, mirrors and locks work well, power antenna just replaced (after pics were taken).  

Interior is clean and odor free.  

Driver seat leather is cracking. 

Driver side seat motor gear is stripped out for the front to back adjustment.  I think the seat is currently in the rear most position, which, due to the leg room in these is suitable for people of average height or taller. 

If the buyer/winning bidder so chooses I can recover the seats with high quality Lexus pattern leather and fix the driver seat gear for $1250 before delivery.  (Leather from MetricTLC.)  (Its a good bit of labor and I don't really want to do it, just offering the service to the buyer.) I have done this on a few other 80s, I just haven't had the time to do this one.  Payment for the vehicle would come first, then I would do the work.  (If it were me, Id probably drive it as is until the leather gets really bad and/or put some nice canvas seat covers on it.)   I can also fix just the seat motor for $250 if buyer so chooses.  (I don't really want or have the time to do that either, just offering it to help facilitate the sale.)  

No third row seats.  (They are not real useful and you would probably take them out and store them in your garage or attic anyway.)

Cosmetically, the exterior has a few blemishes here and there, consistent with most 17 year old vehicles.  There are some spots on the roof and a few scuffs here and there, nothing major.  The Autocheck shows one accident in 2005 so it had some paintwork, but not sure exactly where.  Vehicle retains all its original body panels and glass.   

The vehicle runs and drives great, needs nothing that I am aware of, and I am very familiar with 80 series Land Cruisers/LX450s.  No smoke, no funny noises.  Leaks a little bit of oil underneath, like most 80s, but not bad.  

Comes with books and manuals, full tool kit and jack, Lexus key and remote. 

Fresh oil and filter change with Shell Rotella 15w-40 and Toyota filter.

This is a really solid truck that I have been driving often for the last couple of months.  

You may notice that this truck did NOT have the roof rack which is common on these.  These racks were installed at the port or dealer, not the factory and are known to cause rust and leaking issues due to the holes drilled in the roof.  This is a sought after feature among Land Cruiser enthusiasts.  

This is a rare vehicle in that it is the last year of the 80 Series Land Cruiser/LX450 with lockers, no roof rack, white in color, relatively low miles (under 175k) and 90% rust free.  

I am a dealer specializing in Land Cruisers and other unique automobiles, check my feedback and my website  (MOTORADELLC)

2015 Lexus NX offers bold design, compact luxury

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

Meet the all-new NX, Lexus' entry into the space occupied by the likes of the BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA. Based off the LF-NX Concept and sharing much of the design language seen on the polarizing IS sedan, the NX looks to be a rather sporty Lexus crossover.
The big news here is under the hood: the NX will be the first Lexus to use a turbocharged engine. That's right, a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder can be found in both the NX 200t and NX 200t F Sport. There will also be an NX 300h, and if Lexus' nomenclature remains consistent, we already know all about that one. As of right now, there aren't a lot of details on either powertrain, although with the NX's Beijing debut still over a week away, here's hoping we know more soon.
As for that design... well, we're waiting to see it up close. The initial reaction from the Autoblog team has been mixed so far. Like the IS, there are plenty of sharp angles, while the front is dominated by the brand's spindle grille. Lexus' designers have refined the shape of the headlights, giving them a cleaner overall look than on the pioneering IS. In back, LED taillights come standard. According to Lexus, 17-inch wheels are the base rollers, while 18s are optional.

2015 Lexus LS gets tighter turning radius, new infotainment

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Go back a couple of decades and the thought of a Japanese automaker challenging the German limousines would have seemed laughable, but 25 years later the Lexus LS is a mainstay of the luxury sedan market. And it didn't get there by sitting on its laurels, so it should come as little surprise that Lexus is offering some small tweaks as it enters the 2015 model year.
This time around the upgrades are rather minor, consisting primarily of a new multimedia system. It's got an updated navigation system with 12.3-inch display, revised backup camera imagery with dynamic gridlines, and an enhanced Lexus Enform App Suite that can control the locks, ignition, climate control and more, remotely.
While they were at it, Toyota's engineers also reduced the turning circle by four inches (on cars fitted with 18-inch wheels), and enhanced the F Sport package as well. Otherwise, it's essentially the same LS we've always known.

Lexus RC F GT500 is the Super GT car Daft Punk fans will appreciate [w/video]

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Lexus Racing's booth designers at the Tokyo Auto Salon clearly loved a certain French electronic music duo when they decided to promote the new Lexus RC F racecar from the Super GT series. The Daft Punk-inpsired race team appeared ready for a pit stop in this promo photo, wearing custom double-breasted suits made from race gear as well as top hats, headphones and reflective sunglasses.
Lexus Racing showed the car in the summer when it was known as the LF-CC, but the Tokyo Auto Salon gave the public the first chance to see the renamed RC F in full race trim. It replaces the aging Lexus SC 430 GT500 car with a sharper, more aggressive racing weapon making 500 horsepower from a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
The RC F, Nissan GT-R and Honda NSX form a trio of new models in the top-spec GT500 arm of Super GT, as the class goes through one of its biggest changes in its history. The GT500 class and DTM in Germany are unifying their rules for the new season. The cars have the same limits on exterior dimensions and weight. The only major difference between them is that the GT500 cars are using 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines, and the DTM is using naturally aspirated 4.0-liter V8s in its cars.
