I have up for bid here a very RARE Lexus IS300 Wagon, also known as the SportCross model. This is a very rare car first because there were only a few thousand SportCross ever made, plus this one has all factory options including heated leather seats, CD changer, HID headlights, yellow fog lights, sunroof, and factory navigation! What tops it off is this one was always adult owned - unmolested - with no aftermarket parts or modifications. Completely stock vehicle. NON SMOKER! NO PETS or funny odors. The main selling point for this car is the fact that it was obsessively maintained. I am the 3rd owner, and I can tell you that I am very meticulous when it comes to my cars being mechanically perfect. The car has a spotless CARFAX report and it shows. It was purchased new at a sticker price of $43k and spent most of its life in Florida as a daily driver and that is where it got the bulk of its mileage. A neighbor bought the car from him and very shortly after I convinced him to sell it to me.
The following is recent maintenance done to the car: @ 135,000 miles:
@ 140,000 miles:
@ 149,000 miles:
This is a true turn-key used car that needs no work and won't need any work for a long time. Please do you research - simple google and Lexus forum searches will teach you that the most common mechanical work needed to this car, is already listed above as being changed. All work was done from my mechanic at a Toyota Dealership. Don't let the mileage fool you - if you buy one with 100k you will dump $3,000 in the next couple years doing exactly what I already did. My car didn't even need it all - I'm just super anal and want my cars to be mechanically perfect so I changed anything that showed even slight sign of wear. The car's interior is still in great condition with a few minor imperfections. Study the pics. 2 issues worth noting: The patch on the passenger seat to cover up a 2 inch rip from getting worse. That patch never bothered me too much but you can get the bottom section of the seat re-upholstered for around $150 or buy a used is300 seat from a junkyard for $150. if it bothers you. The other issue is the CD player/changer doesn't always work the first time you turn it on. The AM/FM/Tape works fine, but the CD sometimes skips and if you turn it on and off a few times, it stops skipping. I've tried copied CD's and non copied and it does it for all of them. This also didnt bother me much but if it bothers you, there are plent of these OEM head units on eBay as well. The car's exterior for the age and mileage is in above average condition. No dents or dings or bodywork or paintwork that I know of. All panels are showing the VIN # sticker and the CARFAX reads clean. It has some scratches like any daily driver would - nothing major - just surface scratches that I couldn't even get to show up in pics. Has some hood rock chips, and the rear bumper has the most imperfections. I captured them in 2 pics so you can see. Overall the body is in great shape. Paint is good too - but keep in mind you are buying a used car. Please come with realistic expectations; you are buying a used car. Engine, Transmission, Suspension, Exhaust - main components of the car are in outstanding condition. Bring your mechanic. When I take my car to the mechanic I say make it perfect and hand me the bill. I trust him and anything he recommends, I fix. Not cheap about it. No matter what this car sells for I am losing a lot of money on it. I'd rather sell a perfect car than try to hide something and be dishonest. The service you see done listed above which was done at 149k was "I am going to sell this car so I want to give it to the shop one last time to make it perfect" service. Changed things that still had life left, just because they were showing age, just so that you or your mechanic don't find a reason to say something is "wrong" with the car. I've described the car to the best of my ability. It is a used car being sold as-is no warranty obviously. Feel free to test drive or bring your mechanic to meet me near the King of Prussia PA area if you want to see the car before the auction ends. The title transfer and notary work will be done at Grisafi Insurance and Auto Tags in Trooper PA near KOP. I've sold 3 BMW's on eBay in the last few years - all my personal cars. All received positive feedback. My overall eBay feedback speaks for itself and should give you confidence when buying. I am selling this car because I bought another BMW. NO RESERVE!! GOOD LUCK!! |

Lexus to display turbocharged LF-NX Concept at Tokyo Motor Show
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Concept cars typically have a short lifespan. They debut at a major international auto show, then make the rounds of the lesser local shows, and that's pretty much it. They might be loaned out for test drives or put on display in a museum, but by and large they've had their fifteen minutes of fame by that point. That said, Japan's automakers have found a way to keep these show cars going and keep them in the news. They're modifying them and giving them a fresh lease on life.
That's what Subaru is doing with the Viziv concept for the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show, and what Lexus is doing as well with the LF-NX concept. Having already unveiled the crossover concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Lexus is fitting the LF-NX with a new 2.0-liter turbo engine. (But then, as far as we could tell, Lexus never revealed engine specs for the concept in the first place.)
To go with the turbo engine, Lexus has also fitted the concept with a new front splitter, but otherwise it's the same - and even appears to be wearing the same liquid-metal paint, unlike the LF-LC concept that got repainted from red to blue when its limelight was starting to fade.
Lexus comes to SEMA with a wine-dispensing crossover
Mon, Oct 29 2018While some manufacturers are going neck-deep into the tuner car world for SEMA this year, Lexus is keeping it classy with a restrained lineup of cars with lighter modifications. It made sure to hit all of them though, even the tiny UX subcompact crossover. Here's the rundown: 2019 Lexus RC 350 F Sport Cross Country Custom The idea on this one was to pick up a few different modifications from different shops as it's driven across the country. Along the route it's picked up some RS-R USA springs, Vossen forged wheels with Nitto performance tires, Apexi N1-X muffler, a satin wrap and blue underglow. There's not a whole lot to it now, but Lexus says there are still more modifications to come before it hits Los Angeles. 2019 Lexus UX 250h It's still a funky-looking crossover, but Lexus tried hard to make it stand out from the rest of the bland boxes on the road. The light blue wrap combined with an Apexi N1 suspension does the trick. These subcompact crossovers tend to look even more like hatchbacks once manufacturers lower them a couple inches — all that's left is to get rid of the unsightly black plastic cladding. This one has an Apexi N1 catback exhaust too. We can't imagine that sounds too hot with the CVT transmission in the UX though. 2019 Lexus ES 350 F Sport Wine lovers, here is the car for you. Lexus used the trunk area of this ES 350 to put a wine refrigerator, wine rack and glass holder. It did that, then made the flooring of the trunk out of oak barrel wood. To keep it upscale-feeling Lexus added a subtle Artisan Spirit aero kit and Rays Engineering 20-inch wheels. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan better watch out. 2018 Lexus LS F Sport The long Lexus looks a lot racier in this gray paint and 22-inch Work wheels. An aero kit brings it all closer to the ground without actually lowering it. Gigantic six-piston Brembo brakes in front and four-piston rears are painted in yellow, and look menacing within the big wheels. Related video:
Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
