This car is in great shape. Nearly the entire service history, other than a few things over the years, was done at Lexus dealers..


If you are looking for a stock, well cared for MONSTER of an SC 400 that is a reliable, solid everyday driver that you can just get into and cruise, this is a great choice! If  my car  were a load of garbage i'd be selling it for $4000 or best off on the street in Orange County New York and would sell it in a 1/2 hour...  I know what i have here, and its worth the little bit of extra money.. if you want to come with cash and make an offer perhaps i'd be into that.. 

If you want an awesome car and you are on a budget this is a no brainer... Reasonable to maintain at Lexus dealers over the years, but if you want to save some money on the maintenance you can take it to any Toyota dealer as well... 

I have meticulously maintained this vehicle since i bought it from Palm Beach Lexus in 2002, it had about 40,000 miles on it. Some old guy traded it into the dealership towards a new SC 430. I was lucky enough to have been servicing my 1993 Lexus ES 300, 5 speed,  and met the guy trading it in who introduced me to the salesman and the rest is history. The ES  V6 with the manual 5 speed was ok, but i really needed a V8... Doesn't everyone!?!!?

 i have averaged about 300 miles per tank of gas give or take over the years, and am just driving it less and less these days, so its time to pass this gem on to someone who can handle her for the next 200,000+ miles. 

Although i have been lucky enough to not have had any major problems with this car over the years, i have had every service either mandatory or recommended, done without hesitation. Every thing from  ignition coil to the timing belt have been replaced as the mileage indicated it was time to do so along with all regular maintenance and all scheduled services.

Palm Beach Lexus completely replaced and updated/upgraded the AC system when i bought it, so its still blowing cold. they also re-painted the from bumper that started peeling about 1 year ago, lasted longer than i thought (see pictures). 
I had the sound system overhauled,  all in car speakers (unless i was ripped off, because i cant say 100% what is in there lol)  are JL audio & MB QUART, i replaced the 8 inch nakamichi sub with a  10 inch sub in the rear deck that is a JL also. The stock head-unit was changed to what was at the time a top of the line 6 disk Pioneer Double din unit that is still towards the top of the line today.. (see pictures)

Tires still have plenty of time on them, just need a rotation soon, i think the breaks are about 50%-60% or so, i usually have the breaks done when there is at about 15%-20% left... i have the tires rotated and oil changed regularly.. 

This car is in a different class than any one i have ever seen on ebay or on the road. I see these cars pushing 200,000+ miles and are usually just sorry looking sad sun damaged cars that already look broken down, but this car is solid, garage kept, drives strong and still  has the POWER!   Really!    No test drives without cash in hand. I have the title. 

This is one of the few SC 400's out there that if you wanted to you can just concentrate on correcting some of  the minor flaws in its condition,  most if not all is just normal wear and tare for a car its age, but you can see by the pics the white pearl paint still pops and the spots that need attention are small and pretty minor... As you can see from the pictures the carpets, seats and interior are all pretty clean and in good shape, better than most. i have been asked many times if i had a new interior and seats installed.... but i guess it could use a shampooing. The driver seat, arm rest, and steering wheel could use some leather conditioning...  The driver seat and the console have the most wear along with the steering wheel.  

What i would recommend is to buy this car, have the stock wheels chrome dipped and have the few spots that need paint professionally re-sprayed and lastly have a really good wash, wax, and a paint buffing/revitalization done... If you want to go the extra mile some of the suspension could be upgraded to more expensive high performance parts, but i really love the ride and how it drives... plenty of pull and corners and handles very well... 

This car has most of the little issues and quirks & things that all the SC's have, some moisture in the driver side headlight (even though they were just both replaced with brand new ones) there is some funny business with a few lights in the dash, like the check engine light is on for no good reason, the only way to get it to turn off is to have the O2 sensors replaced, which is not necessary and would run about $1000. There are a couple little dings, nothing major, couldnt even get them to show up on the pictures, the runner on the driver side (pictured) needs to be pulled, i just dont have time... also, i know the cars looks great in the pictures but i havn,t even had it washed or cleaned in a few months, so yea paint and everything looks great! 

email me if you want to see the car, of have any questions... i'll add to this description if i can think of anything else.. oh, yea, look at the pictures of the engine, i have never cleaned the engine, it is just in THAT GREAT OF SHAPE! 

i had 40 really awesome pictures but could only upload 24, so that's why there are only pictures of 3 of 4 tires/wheels, not because 1 is missing or grossly damaged. The car is perfect for a turbo or supercharger!!

Lexus RC F and SI swimsuit model Lisalla Montenegro compare flowing lines

Wed, 19 Feb 2014

Lexus has been desperate to break out of its decidedly boring image for years. There is no doubt that it has made quality cars, but many of them have lacked for excitement. But with the new RC in 2014, especially the M4-fighting RC F version, it might finally turn some heads.
If the car doesn't turn heads, Lexus can at least be sure that Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Lisalla Montenegro will, in its latest video. Of course, phrases like, "Hair by over 383 pound-feet of torque," and, "Goosebumps by an aggressively tuned exhaust note," don't really mean anything, but most of the people watching the video aren't going to be reading the copy, anyway. Instead, they will either be focused on the attractive woman or the cool car. Maybe both. Scroll down to check out the video.

TMG's super Lexus LS Sports 650 gets track tested

Thu, 05 Sep 2013

The people at Toyota Motorsport GmbH have been responsible for the Japanese automaker's motorsports efforts since the 1970s, but since Toyota pulled out of Formula One after the 2009 season, the tuning shop has been developing a super sedan based on the Lexus LS called the Sports 650. Details on TMG's first road car have been scarce, but XCAR was recently invited to drive the 641-horsepower Lexus on track.
Here's what we know: the Sports 650 has enough power to sprint to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds, tops out at 199 mph, weighs over two tons and utilizes LFA brakes. Oh, and its twin-turbo V8 bellows like an AMG V8. That last part isn't surprising when considering TMG could become Toyota's in-house tuning arm - like AMG is to Mercedes-Benz. As for the bespoke body kit, fender flares and stacked exhaust pipes? They fit the car well and even remind us a bit of Lexus' other high-performance sedan, the IS F. Currently there are no plans for the Sports 650 to be made into a production car, but we doubt TMG is devoting this much effort developing the LS into a road-rocket for nothing.
Check out XCAR's video below to see the AMG-fighter wrung out on track, and then ponder what could be if TMG were let loose to fiddle with other cars in Lexus' lineup. Now that's something we could get used to!

Toyota announces two recalls affecting 1M Corolla, Matrix and Lexus IS models

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

The recall bug strikes Toyota again. The automaker has issued a voluntary recall of three models that, in total, represent more than one million units. Around 752,000 2003-2004 Toyota Corolla and Matrix models are being recalled for airbag concerns, while a windshield wiper issue is causing the recall for close to 270,000 Lexus IS sedans from the 2006-2012 model years.
Completely unrelated to the small airbag-related recall issued earlier in the week, the Corolla and Matrix recall is caused by a faulty airbag control module that could potentially short circuit, which could lead to the front airbags or seat belt pretensioners deploying. The Lexus recall is due to a wiper arm nut that wasn't tightened properly, which can cause the wipers to not work when trying to clear heavy buildup such as snow.
Scroll down for a press release that includes more information, as well as details about how owners can contact the manufacturer directly.
