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!! |

2019 Lexus ES revealed before Beijing debut
Wed, Apr 18 2018After revealing the grille of the 2019 Lexus ES last week, Lexus posted a single photo of the whole shebang this morning. Only two sentences accompanied the image: "The all-new ES springs from a reimagined luxury equation. Engaging design, athletic performance, and renowned refinement transform Lexus's most popular sedan." We could be forced to wait until the Beijing Motor Show reveal on April 25 for substantial info on that transformation, but based on what we already suspect, the coming ES has big britches to fill. This seventh-generation sedan will be the first to go global, opening up a sales beachhead in Europe for the first time. The ES will also replace the GS there, perhaps signaling a shift in European strategy for taking on the Germans — the rear-wheel-drive sports sedan couldn't compete, so perhaps the front-wheel-drive family sedan will do better by not making a frontal assault on the segment leaders. The GS' fate isn't clear in the U.S., either, with the model expected to either go away or take a hiatus while designers reboot it. Lexus promised "the unexpected" with the new ES, and rumors of AWD have accompanied the news of "a range of advanced gasoline and hybrid powertrains." Right now the ES offers two powertrains, one gas, one hybrid, a bit meager to call "a range." From what we can tell of of the image above and teaser video below, the ES gets a lot sharper in front and along its flanks, skinny headlights mixing it up with a severely creased shoulder line. Out back, the sloping rear end gets bolstered by new taillights and a prominent spoiler. Barring any more teases or leaks, we expect to know everything about the ES a week from now come Beijing.

Updated 2016 Lexus LX 570 bows in Monterey
Fri, Aug 14 2015Lexus just pulled the wraps off its 2016 LX 570, and though the updates are minor, they're long overdue. A new one-piece spindle grille – framed by a satin chrome trim – defines the front end aesthetically, and adds a more aggressive look, bringing the eight-passenger SUV up to speed with Lexus's current design language. New LED headlights, turn signals, and foglights further distinguish the front end. The LX 570 adds new wheels, the standard 20-inch split 10-spoke wheels, with an available 21-inch option. While the new LX keeps the brawny 5.7-liter V8 – rated at 383 horsepower, with 403 pound-feet of torque available at 3,600 rpm – it adds a new transmission. For 2016 the LX 570 drops the six-speed in favor of a new eight-speed automatic transmission. This combination means the LX is capable of towing 7,000 pounds, and we expect the 4WD system – the LX flaunts its Toyota Land Cruiser roots – to be as formidable as on the current model. Drivers will appreciate the new Drive Mode Select, which adjusts throttle and suspension calibration with the turn of a dial. The system works in conjunction with the adaptive variable suspension, which adjusts damping, and makes for a smoother ride in the cabin. Drivers can choose from four modes: Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Sport +. The LX gets more standard safety features for 2016, including the Lexus Safety System+, a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert, and a tire-specific TPS that gives pressure readings for each tire. Additionally, the multimedia system gets a boost with a new 12.3-inch screen with a remote-touch interface. The Panoramic View Monitor, and "Climate Concierge" are now standard features, while a heads-up display is now an available option. Scroll down for the full details in the press release.

Toyota offered $146.5 million to build Lexus ES in Kentucky
Thu, 18 Apr 2013Toyota posted a media advisory yesterday saying that Akio Toyoda, president of Toyota, and Jim Lentz, CEO of Toyota North America, would be making a production announcement tomorrow in New York City, and Automotive News reports that the automaker will be announcing a plan to domestically produce the Lexus ES. According to the report, numerous plants are competing to build the ES in North America, and the State of Kentucky has offered the automaker up to $146.5 million to build the luxury sedan at the Georgetown, KY assembly plant.
If Georgetown gets the ES, which has been built in Japan since its debut in 1989, it would be built alongside the Toyota Camry, which is somewhat ironic since in our review of the 2013 Lexus ES350, we wrote that this ES finally says "goodbye to its Camry roots." In order to get the whole amount offered, the article states that Toyota would have to invest $531.2 million and hire 570 full-time workers at the plant, which doesn't sound all that unreasonable since the plant would require an additional 50,000 units of annual production, not to mention the fact that the Georgetown facility is already at its capacity for building the Camry.
