Selling this well maintained 1997 Lexus LX450. Originally purchased for my Lake Tahoe house but a Mercedes Benz 4-Matic wagon was just inherited. Therefore, we are passing this well maintained "Toyota Landcruiser" on to the next snow loving family. It was originally a lease when the current owner purchased it as a CPO-Certified Pre-Owned in 2001. It has a clean CARFAX and clean title. It has been lovingly maintained by a scientist, who would purchase another one today. There is a stack of maintenance records. It still rides on Michelin tires with decent tread. The tires can get you through the summer but I would personally change them for winter driving. The glass is all good, the interior is decent with the exception of the front seats. "KOBE"beef is tasty but the hides are not good for seating surfaces. Just kidding. The second row is in good shape. The third row most likely has never been used based upon the condition. The carpets are not stained. The headliner does not sag. The sunroof slides and tilts freely. If you've NEVER driven an FJ80 in the snow, be prepared for one of the most "sure footed" vehicles ever in the snow. They don't say, "Oh, what a feeling for nothing". I have owned Landcruiser's in the past and they are in my own humble opinion, one of a KIND. It may have 207,551 but when you drive it, it drive nice and sturdy. It will go another 207 if maintained to the letter. Why spend more money than you need?? This one is selling for NO RESERVE. Final bid gets to take her home to enjoy. With all my auctions, a few requirements. First, NO PAYPAL. Second, any and all bidders with less than 10 feedback and/or negative feedback need to contact me prior to bidding with their name and contact number or your bid will be cancelled and your user id blocked from additional bidding. Third, you are bidding to OWN, not make excuses. Also selling in AS-IS, Where-Is condition with NO Warranties, expressed nor implied. Seller has represented vehicle to the best of his knowledge and makes no representations as to the condition of the vehicle that are unknown to seller at time of sale. Vehicle is also advertised locally and seller reserves right to end auction early and cancel all bids if sold outside of ebay. Any and all bidders can email for a buy it now if they cannot wait until the end of the auction. So, with a great "Lexus/Toyota" leap, let the auction begin.

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.

Why Lexus shies away from plug-in hybrids

Mon, Apr 20 2015

Lexus may have softened its stance a bit from the anti plug-in vehicle ads the Toyota luxury badge ran last year, but at least one executive from the company casts a pretty critical eye towards the concept as a way to cut both emissions and refueling costs. In fact, Lexus doesn't really buy the fact that buyers of plug-in hybrids are really looking to save both gas and the environment, Green Car Reports says, citing an interview at the recent New York Auto Show with Lexus executive Mark Templin. Templin also said hydrogen fuel-cell technology may be a better way to edge towards zero emissions. Templin decried plug-in hybrid technology because it adds weight to vehicles, which contributes to poor emissions figures in the process. He added that plug-in vehicle buyers are motivated more by potential tax credits and solo driving rights in high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes than cutting back on fuel use. Last summer, Lexus ran an supposedly tongue-in-cheek print ad poking fun at how long it takes to charge a plug-in vehicle and how using air conditioning can shorten a car's charging range. Last spring, Lexus had to backpedal from an anti-electric ad it ran that had serious mistakes about hydrogen infrastructure. News Source: Green Car Reports Green Lexus Toyota Hybrid PHEV

Lexus' hoverboard 'is like floating on a cushion of air'

Thu, Jul 16 2015

The Lexus hoverboard is real, folks. It's not computer-generated imagery you're looking at, and it's not smoke and mirrors. In fact, what looks a lot like smoke emanating from below the Japanese luxury brand's hoverboard is actually caused by the liquid nitrogen required to keep the 'board's insides cool. How cool, you ask? Put it this way: liquid nitrogen freezes at -346 degrees Fahrenheit. Ice cold, baby. If there is a bit of tricky deception in the video you see above, it's that the superconductors Lexus is using in its hoverboard will only cause the machine to lift off surfaces that are magnetic. In other words, a skatepark full of concrete won't work. For that matter, in true Back To The Future style, neither would water... even if you've got power. Does any of that techno mumbo-jumbo even matter, though? What we have here is a real-life hoverboard that doesn't look like a poorly conceived high-school science project (no offense to Hendo, featured in the video below). The Lexus hoverboard is beautiful, with bamboo decking, a carbon fiber base and, let's be honest, that awesome special-effects-style smoke. Ross McGouran, a professional skateboarder, seems to agree with our assessment of the merits of the Lexus hoverboard. In a new video from the automaker that you can watch above, McGouran compares the hoverboard to regular skateboards and says riding Lexus' invention is like floating on a cushion of air. Which sounds equal parts difficult and amazing. We look forward to more from McGouran and Lexus.
