Nice 2007 Lexus Ls 460 Priced To Sell! on 2040-cars
Edwardsville, Illinois, United States
2007 Lexus LS 460 for sale - $17,900
I have a very nice 2007 midnight blue Lexus LS 460 for sale. 109,xxx gently driven, well cared for miles, almost all highway. I have had the car for around four years now. It had 36,xxx miles on it when I bought it, and has had nothing but synthetic oil ever since. I am a fanatic about mechanical maintenance, and upon request I can put you in touch with the manager at the auto mechanic shop where it has always received service. I've dealt with the same place for almost 20 years. This car has the sunroof, premium stereo, memory seats/mirrors, and navigation/GPS system. Two cosmetic imperfections exist on the interior. When I bought the car it had a small tear in the passenger seat leather. I called Lexus and they referred me to an upholsterer that they recommended. He told me that if it were his car he wouldn't try to fix it, and that as small as it is it shouldn't ever get bigger, partly because of the quality of the leather Lexus uses. Fact is, 73,000 miles later it looks exactly the same as it did when I bought it, which is to say not very noticeable at all. The second is a tear in the material on the post behind the driver's seat. Not sure what happened, probably the seatbelt pinched it at some point. I've repaired with with vinyl tape. Other than that this car is very nice for it's age and miles, and has lots of life left in it. I drove my last Lexus for over 250,000 miles before letting it go, and even then it still ran great, but I wanted something newer. These things will go forever if you take care of them. I've priced this below Kelly Blue Book for a private sale in "Good Condition." Fact is if it wasn't for the two items I mentioned above, I would call it "Very Good Condition." Also, my asking price reflects the exact NADA price for "Average Trade-in." And if you look on AutoTrader in the St. Louis area, you'll see two 2007 Lexus LS 460's for sale similar to mine, both in the $22,000 range.

Toyota settles first wrongful death suit related to unintended acceleration
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Toyota's sales seem to have rebounded from the unintended acceleration issues from 2009 and 2010, but the automaker is far from done dealing with this situation. Following a settlement worth up to $1.4 billion for economic loss to affected vehicle owners, Toyota has settled rather than going to trial in a wrongful death lawsuit stemming from an accident in Utah in 2010 that left two passengers dead. This isn't the first case in which Toyota has settled, but it was the first among a consolidated group of cases being held in Santa Ana, CA.
According to The Detroit News, this case was scheduled to take place next month, and it was for a November 2010 incident in which Paul Van Alfen and Charlene James Lloyd were killed in a Camry when, based on findings by the Utah Highway Patrol, the accelerator got stuck causing the car to speed out of control and hit a wall; the terms of the settlement were not announced.
The article says that while Toyota will settle on some cases, it doesn't plan on settling on all of them as it still wants to be able to "defend [its] product at trial." This will probably be the case in suits claiming that software for the drive-by-wire accelerator was the cause of an accident in a Toyota or Lexus vehicle. The question of whether or not the electronic accelerator played any role in this problem has been a hot-button topic since the beginning. Toyota has issued recalls in the past to attempt to prevent unintended acceleration caused by trapped floor mats and faulty accelerator pedals, but it also says driver error was to blame in some instances.
2013 Lexus LS 600h L
Wed, 15 May 2013I have spent the last seven days driving the Starfire Pearl (read: white) 2013 Lexus LS 600h L you see here. And after roughly 500 miles of errand-running, highway-cruising, commuting and people-schlepping, I can safely say this: I don't get it.
The LS hybrid is a nice car. It's comfortable, has every amenity you'd ever want in a luxury boat, and with its freshened appearance for 2013, it looks modern, integrating the company's new spindle grille into an overall package that's elegant. None of this is bad news. But let me explain why I still cannot wrap my head around the overall LS 600h L package:

Mazda and Lexus crowned with KBB 5-Year Cost To Own awards
Tue, 12 Feb 2013We report on a lot of awards, some of which are given out based on more solid criteria than others. This one, the Kelley Blue Book 5-Year Cost to Own awards, seems like one that new car shoppers should pay attention to.
The cost of a car goes far beyond what you pay for the actual metal, leather and rubber at the point of purchase. Fuel, insurance, maintenance and repair costs, and the cost of fees from the state and financing will all weigh on your wallet while you own the car. That's not even taking into account the biggest cost: depreciation, or the amount of money you lose based on what your car is worth years from now versus the day you bought it.
KBB tracks these sorts of things, and they've compiled a list of winners for 2013 models. On the brand level, Mazda and Lexus earn the 5-Year Cost to Own award for having the lowest overall projected five-year totals (though, curiously, we note that Mazda and Lexus each had only one segment winner). There are lots of winners for all the various segments, so we'll just pick out a few surprising ones to share and you can view the rest here.
