Midway, Utah, United States

I bought this Lexus in 2006 and have loved this vehicle. We bought a Sequoia and then sold this to my business but we hardly use it so decided to sell it.  
Factory Diff Locks
Engine and transmission strong and solid.  No shakes, drives straight, alignment is great.  A/C cold. 
Antenna works.  Stock disc changer does not work.
Just noticed that one rear door lock is not working, will need an actuator.
New brake pads, rotors and calipers all the way around 6,000 miles ago, cost $1000.
Head gasket (fairly common issue with these) was done at 106,000 miles by a local Toyota mechanic
I have receipts for these repairs and records for most of the past 8 years since I bought it (had 70,000 miles when I got it) including oil changes etc.
The body is in good shape.  The only rust is on the running boards which is common.  I keep them touched up but they don't look perfect up close.
The paint looks great from 10 feet but when you get close you'll see some scratches here and there.  The worst part is the hood, which had some apricots from my tree dry on and chipped some of the paint where the sap stuck.  Not really noticeable until you get close.  Overall it's in great shape. The interior is in good shape - no staining on carpets etc.  Some cracking starting on front seats but overall good for age.  Driver visor hangs a little but not enough to get in the way.  The driver door button that turns off the interior light - when closing the door it doesn't push it in enough so I keep a small piece of rubber on it then it's fine (see photos).
Stock Michelin tires are in good shape, about 1/2 tread left.

Optimistic Lexus bumps US sales target higher

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last year Lexus sold 244,166 cars in the US, slotting into third place in the luxury segment behind BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Earlier this year Lexus said its target was 260,000 units in the US (which would still put it behind BMW's and Mercedes' numbers from last year), but Automotive News reports that it has raised its upper outlook to 270,000 cars.
The half-year pace hasn't been enough to make either number, but Lexus is gunning for a 15-percent gain in IS sales behind the arrival of the 2014 model, and this is also the first full year of sales of the new ES and LS. Lexus will most likely end the year in third place in the luxury segment behind BMW and Mercedes again, even if it does sell 270,000 units, but has said its prime directive is "good, steady growth."

Lexus reveals production RC coupe en route to Tokyo

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Feast your eyes, ladies and gentlemen, on the new Lexus RC coupe. With the exception of the six-figure LFA supercar, it's the first stand-alone two-door model to come from Toyota's premium brand since the demise of the SC, and it's coming to the Tokyo Motor Show later this month.
With unmistakably Japanese styling, the Lexus RC is clearly inspired by the LF-CC and LF-LC concepts, and features the brand's signature spindle grille. Anyone who's been inside a contemporary Lexus should feel right at home inside the four-seat cabin, where the Japanese automaker has fitted ambient lighting that glows upwards instead of down, coupled with a new Remote Touch Interface.
Lexus has already announced two versions of the coupe: the conventional RC350 with a 3.5-liter gasoline engine and the RC300h with a 2.5-liter hybrid setup. It's all packed into a form that, for comparison's sake, is slightly larger than the new BMW 4 Series but markedly smaller (in every dimension but height) than a 6 Series.

Lexus reveals spindly CT 200h facelift ahead of Chinese debut

Tue, 12 Nov 2013

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. So goes the saying, and Lexus seems to be taking it to heart. In addition to the hybrid versions of the Japanese luxury marque's conventional cars, Lexus is intent on offering a dedicated luxury hybrid. The original HS 250h failed to gain traction, so to speak, in the marketplace, and was quickly withdrawn from just about every market but Japan's. Lexus followed up with the CT 200h, exclusively packaging a hybrid powertrain into a premium hatchback form, but while it's been more successful than its predecessor, there's still room for improvement.
That's what Toyota and its premium division are going for with a slightly refreshed take on the CT. Spied completely undisguised (and in F-Sport guise) less than a month ago, the facelifted CT 200h is now confirmed for debut not at the LA Auto Show or the Tokyo Motor Show but at the Guangzhou Motor Show that's set to take place at the same time in China.
Although Lexus hasn't revealed much in the way of details and only two images, it's plain to see that what we're looking at is a mildly refreshed version of the existing CT 200h. The front end is now dominated by the spindle grille that adorns the rest of the Lexus range, flanked by reshaped headlamps. The rear end has been updated as well, but whether the cosmetic changes are joined by any mechanical ones - or, for that matter, if the changes made will be enough to put the hybrid hatchback ahead in the sales curve - remains to be seen.
