Full dealer maintenance history on MyLexus.com 
No Accidents, Rust, or Bodywork.
Clean title, clean Carfax (from when I purchased last year – will send upon request) 

BFGoodrich 225/50/R16 GForce SS A/R high performance tires are ‘all season’ and have less than 10K miles on them. 
Timing chain done at 180K miles. 
Recent comprehensive service included a full fluid flush and Lexus 161 point inspection.  Only one issue found:  loose rear bulb.  Fixed. 
Easily passed Colorado inspection and emissions tests 
No leaks or engine/transmission issues 
Amazing 2JZ straight six engine is incredibly smooth and responsive 
AC/Heat, power windows, seat heaters, sunroof, controls and displays – all work as they should.
 Don’t let the miles deter you, this SC300 runs, stops, shifts, drives, and looks amazing.   

Tasteful upgrades include: 
Fittipaldi 16” 5-spoke wheels 
Carbon fiber interior trim, shifter, and license plate frame
Custom cut great looking all weather floor mats 
Double DIN Kenwood DNX570HD head unit (CD, USB, SD, Nav, Bluetooth, etc) with Kenwood KFC speakers

RX300 three spoke steering wheel, airbag still functional, no dash warning lights 
K&N filter 
Bi-Xenon low/high beams are Morimoto HID H1 with Denso ballasts. 
Razo pedals and kick plate 
All seat Leather replaced from Leatherseats.com 

Known issues: 
Interior is a 9 out of 10.  A few small window trim and air vent cracks, otherwise, everything is in great condition – especially the leather. 
Exterior is a 7 out of 10.  As expected from a 200K mile car, there are probably a dozen bumps and bruises, but nothing major, or easily seen without looking closely.   
Wheels are starting to flake a bit – could use a dip, spray, or refinish. 
Dime sized windshield rock chip in the low/center by wipers.  Not noticeable when driving. 
Clutch pedal can lightly squeak at times.  Per Lexus tech, nothing to worry about (new clutch was put in at 150K miles)  Shot of WD40 clears it up. 
Small exposed holes in trunk where “Lexus” badge was located.  Easy replacement if desired. 
LED bulbs create a sporadic ‘fast blink’ turn signal.   Front clear turn lenses aren't a perfect fit but work fine. 
Driver side mirror surround edge is chipped/scratched 

Car is listed on other sites, I reserve the right to end auction early.  Based on condition, rarity, and comparable sales, I believe the price is fair.  First $6000 takes it. 

Buyer info:  You are responsible for pickup and/or shipping, located in 80215.  Half payment due at auction close, half upon receipt of vehicle.   Paypal preferred.   No warranty expressed or implied.  Serious inquires only. Title is in hand and will be sent over-night once full payment is received. I have a perfect Ebay seller and buyer rating, so bid with confidence.

Will.I.Am stars in new Lexus NX commercial, designs a version for Paris

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

Whether you love or hate its chiseled, angular lines and spindle grille, the Lexus NX is a big step for the brand as it jumps into the sea of luxury compact crossovers. We've already checked out the new CUV, and to promote its European launch, along with a different nose, Lexus has teamed up with producer and musician Will.I.Am for a commercial titled Striking Angles.
As the name suggests, the ad imagines a futuristic world where practically everything shares the NX's sharp-angled design aesthetic, including the wildlife. Over a thumping remix of his Dreamin' About the Future, the luxury CUV rolls through the misty city streets for Will.I.Am to check out.
That's not the end of Lexus' promotional efforts for its newest addition, though. The brand is also displaying a one-off NX styled by Will.I.Am during Paris Fashion Week. Read the automaker's entire release about its marketing plan for the CUV, below.

Toyota and Lexus show off advanced safety research vehicle [w/video]

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

While 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.
