For Sale is a 1996 Lexus LX450, which is really a Toyota Land Cruiser with Lexus badges. Overall, this well-maintained 7-passenger SUV is in great shape with a few cosmetic issues. I've been the owner for the past four years and have owned it without any issues other than maintenance projects. I have only put on around 30,000 miles. I've enjoyed owning this vehicle and truly belief it's got another 100,000 solid miles in it. These SUVs are known for long, productive lives. Google it if you're interested in knowing more. Below are some bullet points to consider:

Car Details:
184,5xx miles
7 - passenger
All wheel drive with 4-wheel high & low gears
Black with Tan interior
Tires - 50-60% tread life left on Toyo tires
6-disc built in CD player
2" trailer hitch system installed - not wired for lights

Recent Maintenance/Repairs:
In Prep for Sale - Full inside & outside detail with buffing & carpet cleaning
2014 - Front & Rear Brakes - new rotors on back, turned rotors on front & new front caliper
2014 - New power steering
2014 - New battery
2014 - New front axle knuckle gasket kit installed in right front wheel
2013 - New Air Conditioner
2013 - New Complete exhaust system from engine to tailpipe
2012 - New heating fluid lines from front heater to rear heater
Oil changes with 10W40 every 3000 miles & other routine maintenance like tire rotations

Condition Notes:
Front bumper - I purchased the car 4 years ago with the front right bumper slightly pushed in. It was likely backed into. Looks like front bumper could be removed, bracket bent back, and then bumper re-installed. It ins't a big deal for me, so I haven't fixed it.

Paint & Body - Overall for a 1996, the paint and body work are in good shape. Just waxed/buffed and the only things you see is when you stand right over the flat surface areas where rain, dirt, & anything else have collected over the year and caused spotting. Can't tell from 5' away. There are a few small door dents, paint cracks on bumpers, and small stone chips. There is visible rust on the running boards just at the edge of the running boards.

Rear Hatch Under Wiper - this is common place to rust out. I sanded the rust, patched it with metal patch putty, and then repainted those areas. You can tell it's there, but the rust has stopped & it's sealed with satin paint that matches well. Not professional, but effective.

Sunroof - The sunroof works. The only problem is that it only goes about half way back. Something stuck in the track or binding it halfway. I personally just haven't wanted to drop the headliner to inspect. Don't really use sunroof that much anyway.

Cigarette Lighter doesn't work (disconnected wire maybe) and the rear passenger side window button on driver's side door doesn't work. The window works and the button on that door works, just not the button on the driver's side door. Just haven't taken door apart to inspect.

I'm happy to answer any other questions.

Lexus apologizes for anti-EV ad, Plug In America calls it 'outdated'

Mon, May 12 2014

Anyone who's spent any time learning about the alternatives to the standard fossil fuel-burning internal combustion engine knows that there are arguments to be made for and against all of the main options. They also know that there is barely any refueling infrastructure for hydrogen fuel cell cars in the US, aside form a handful of H2 stations in California and one in South Carolina. Somehow, though Lexus, recently said there was an "established infrastructure" in 20 states in an online video ad on the company's official site. Another part of that site also made unfair negative comments about battery-powered electric vehicles, saying that it takes too long to charge the cars. Read our original post on the matter here. In the ongoing discussion about how the US moves away from inefficient gas and diesel engines, this was seen as a real muck up of the facts. Upon seeing the videos, pro-electric vehicle group Plug In America released a statement to AutoblogGreen (Lexus is owned by Toyota): Hey, Toyota, the 1990s called. They want their outdated anti-EV attack ad back. Plug-in electric vehicles charge while you're sleeping at home, far more convenient than making a trip to a gas station and coming away smelling like carcinogens. Driving on electricity costs about one fifth what it costs to drive the average gas car and about a third what it costs to drive the most efficient hybrid. An electric drive has smooth, instant acceleration which can't be matched by any gasoline engine. If you don't believe me, just ask anyone driving a Toyota RAV4 EV. The videos were produced by Team One, Lexus' ad agency. Exactly where the information came from and how it made it to the website is unclear, but Lexus spokesman Moe Durand said that Lexus apologizes for offending anyone and has taken the incorrect videos down. The company will review all the materials and alter and adjust the campaign as necessary, he said.

2014 Lexus IS 350

Tue, 04 Feb 2014

Long regarded as one of the best driver's cars of all time, the BMW 3 Series has always been targeted by luxury automakers trying to create their own exciting, bang-for-the-buck sport sedan. For years, BMW has managed to ward off would-be rivals to its iconic 3 Series, but the combination of a softened F30 and solid, hard-hitting competitors could soon relieve the car of its crown. While the all-new Cadillac ATS has received the most publicity in this segment since its introduction, the 2014 Lexus IS has come on strong in its third generation to put plenty of heat on the 3 Series as the current-best luxury sport sedan.
The IS might be Lexus' most important launch in some time, as a new, strong attempt to draw younger buyers into showrooms. Rather than taking the same conservative path as the preceding IS, Lexus attacked the new car's design with enthusiasm. Exaggerated exterior styling, while certainly polarizing, definitely gets this car noticed.
We've certainly noticed the 2014 IS, with a couple of first drives (for the IS 250 prototype and the IS 350 F Sport) and a Quick Spin so far. This time around we had a chance to get a little more intimate with a staple of the new IS lineup: the non-F Sport, rear-wheel-drive IS 350.

Judge halts Toyota unintended acceleration cases, triggers time for settlement negotiations

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

So far, the lawsuits brought forth against Toyota for unintended acceleration have gone both ways: the automaker was found not at fault in a 2009 California crash and liable for a 2007 crash in Oklahoma. Both cases involved a Camry and resulted in fatalities. With a big chunk of these UA cases (around 200) set to his the docket of US District Judge James V. Selna in Santa Ana, California, Bloomberg is reporting that the judge has halted the lawsuits until March after Toyota and its lawyers have had extra time to try and settle the cases.
According to the article, Toyota is looking to take care of the cases out of court with an "intensive settlement process." Having already paid out $1.6 billion in "economic loss" suits, this latest settlement process is aimed at the wrongful death and personal injury cases allegedly associated with unintended acceleration. A hearing for the settlements will be held on January 14 with conferences on the matter commencing in February. There is no word as to when lawsuits may start back up if settlements can't be agreed upon.
