Moving to S. Korea in May, so I need to sell my car. Bought it when I moved back to Dallas, but now I'm going back overseas. My last day at UT Southwestern Medical Center is April 30th, so after that if you want to take a look at her and test drive her, just let me know and I will make my way to you as long as you are in the Dallas area and a serious buyer.

so the car specs....

2001 Lexus IS300
Silver
JTHBD182810011756
Automatic
147k
Leather/Suede heated seats

I love this car. It's crazy fun to drive. If you are looking for this car specifically, then you know why. If not, then just read reviews on the IS300. Once you drive it, you will love it.

I added an AEM short ram intake, change the oil every 5k with Mobil 1 Extended Performance oil and filter, and only use Shell Premium gasoline. This engine is clean. The tires on it are great condition. Paint is in great condition. I bought the car from a dealership in Plano, TX (Passport Motors). Still have the paperwork. I think the person that had it, also babied the car, because the paint and interior are in great condition. Dark window tint. A must in TX. Cold AC. I don't know what else to say. Great car. Great condition compared to other IS300s. I looked at a lot before I bought, because its the car I wanted. I looked for 2 months before I decided on this one. I know the next person is going to love it as much I do.

The Bad:
1) The trunk has paint peeling it seems, but no rust. Looks like the clear coat came off a litte or something. The only imperfection on the paint. Not noticeable, unless you get close, so I never bothered to get it fixed.
2) Some shake in the steering wheel at times, but not enough to disturb the drive. The car drives straight, so I didn't get that checked out either.
3) Small chip on the side of the front bumper, on the passenger side. Have to get close to see it.

4) The CD player isn't working now, but I'm a radio person myself.
5) Rear side marker bulb is out.

I'm looking for $6,000. Shoot me a number, the worst I can say is no. Good luck on finding your next car.
If I forgot something, just ask. 214-436-1265. Text 1st please.

Consumer Reports: Toyota expected to announce fix for emergency trunk releases

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

According to Consumer Reports, Toyota is set to release a fix for trunk release pulls on certain Lexus vehicles that could snap off in an emergency. As you may recall, CR found the federally-mandated emergency releases could break if pulled toward the user. As it turned out, the trunk surround behaved like a fulcrum, putting more force against the center of the release than toward the trunk mechanism itself. While the organization found the problem to exist on 2013 Lexus ES and GS, Toyota was able to replicate the flaw on the IS as well.
Toyota will alert 700,000 owners of 2007-2013 Lexus ES models, 2006-2012 IS vehicles and 2013 GS cars and replace the old ABS plastic release with a sturdier polypropylene part free of charge once the components are available to dealers. The service campaign is expected to begin in January.

Vice chronicles Okinawa's illegal street racing scene

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

We all know that street racing is dangerous, and that motorsports are best left on the track or drag strip. However, that doesn't mean that there still isn't some outlaw allure among enthusiasts of racing on public roads. In this video, Vice Japan profiles Eikichi Nagayoshi of Japan's island of Okinawa. He is a used car dealer by day and an illegal racer by night.
Nagayoshi has a deep love for his highly customized Toyota Aristo (better known to us as a first-generation Lexus GS) that he claims produces over 1,000 horsepower and has hit 205 miles per hour. He races his car both on drag strips and in drifting competitions, but says that he often has to ship the car to mainland Japan to compete. In the absence of those opportunities, he sometimes gathers friends and takes the racing to the public roads. While we're not down with street racing, this Vice video is an intriguing personality piece, as well as a look into Japan's fabled underground racing scene. Scroll down to check out the video, but make sure you have the "CC" button clicked, because several portions are subtitled.

Lexus talks LFA successor

Sat, 09 Aug 2014

Did you just miss out on purchasing one of the 500 Lexus LFA supercars built between 2010 and 2012? "No big deal," you're probably thinking, "I'll just wait until the next time Lexus builds a supercar." Well, we're afraid that you'll be waiting quite a long time. And by long time, we mean about 30 years.
That's according to a report from Bloomberg, which indicates that yes, Lexus is looking at a follow-up to the V10-powered, carbon-fiber-bodied LFA.
"Akio [Toyoda] believes that every generation deserves to have a car like an LFA, so we're building an LFA for the generation we have today," Lexus Executive Vice President Mark Templin told Bloomberg. "At some point, there may be another special car for another generation."
