This vehicle currently does NOT RUN RIGHT.  I've owned this SUV for about 3 years. Here's what I know about it: 


GOOD STUFF: 
1999 Lexus RX300 AWD V6 motor with approximately 190,000 miles with tan leather interior and a "bronze and gray" two-tone colored exterior. Put a new battery $80 on it last fall, new struts/shocks put on last fall $400, new brakes $74, and a new set of $800 tires with less than 1,000 miles on them. Just had the transmission fluid and filter changed, which was $147 before it was parked. Always had the oil changed at 3,000 miles. Put a new OCV for the right hand side $100. The sound system is excellent with a built in 6 disc CD changer. Has the auto climate control. Heated seats. Moonroof and alloy wheels. Clean clear title in hand and ready to transfer. I only have one key for it. Other than a few surface scratches the exterior is in good condition. Interior is in fair condition. Needs to be detailed.

BAD STUFF: 
I parked it last fall and I think I drove it one time this past winter. When I went out to start it this spring, it had to be jump started because the battery was dead. It has a brand new battery on it that I purchased last fall, so there may be a short somewhere. After jump starting it, it would not run right. The interior lights and the headlights are flickering the whole time and when I put it in drive it dies. The A/C compressor had went out last fall, so that is one thing that I know will need to be replaced. The interior could use a good cleaning, but isn't in bad shape - the driver's seat is ripped on the side where you get in and out. The last known issue is that you can only put 8 gallons of gas in at a fill up. Its been that way since I bought it and the buyer did not make me aware of the issue. I'm not sure what needs to be done to fix that problem, but I've just dealt with the entire time I've had it.

So, after reading all of that please understand that I've been completely honest about the SUV and NO, I'M NOT SURE WHATS WRONG WITH IT AND NO, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING MAJOR OR SOMETHING SMALL, BUT IT WILL NEED TO BE HAULED / TOWED. WILL NEED TO BE TRANSFERRED OUT OF MY NAME AND TAXES TO BE PAID BY THE BUYER BEFORE IT LEAVES THE HOUSE. CURRENTLY LICENSED TIL NOVEMBER in Kentucky. 

Buyer is to make a $500 deposit within 24 hours of the auction close. If there is a remaining balance on the vehicle, that is to be paid within 7 days of the purchase date. Buyer assumes the responsibility of arranging the haul of the vehicle. If you are a buyer from out of state, you will need to find out what forms that your state requires for licensing. If you wanted to buy the SUV just for parts, I will expect you to pay for the junk title fee. This vehicle is sold AS IS with no warranty implied. Do not bid unless you are willing to pay.

Toyota investing $200M in Southern manufacturing

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

Over the past two years, Toyota has invested more than $2 billion at its North American production facilities, and it apparently doesn't plan on stopping there. To keep up with recent strong sales, Toyota is investing an additional $200 million at its engine plants in the Southern US to increase production capacity of its V6 engines.
The bulk of this money ($150 million) will go to expand Toyota's engine plant in Huntsville, AL, which is currently responsible for supplying engines - four-cylinder, V6 and V8 - to eight of Toyota's 12 domestically produced vehicles. That includes the best-selling Toyota Camry (shown above).
Toyota didn't say exactly what improvements are being made to the plant, but this follows last year's $80 million investment in the plant that is set to be completed by next year raising the engine capacity to 750,000 annual units including 362,000 V6s. The remaining $50 million will go to the casting plants of Toyota-owned Bodine Aluminum in Missouri and Tennessee, which supply engine blocks and cylinder heads to the Huntsville engine plant as well as others in Kentucky and West Virginia.

Lexus LF-C2 Concept shows polarizing looks are here to stay

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Well, that's one question answered. When Lexus released the first teaser for its LF-C2 Concept, we figured it'd be one of two things - either it'd be a convertible based on the LF-LC Concept car or it'd be a thinly veiled concept version of the RC Convertible. Turns out, it's kind of both.
The LF-LC styling straddles the wilder, concepty looks of the LF-LC and the still wild, but more grounded, looks of the RC. That doesn't mean it's not a polarizing piece of design, with Lexus styling trademarks like the dominating spindle grille and separate LED running lights. Lexus' knife-edge cuts and folds in the bodywork have been toned down relative to past concepts, but the overall look here, particularly in the rear fenders, is rather busy.
"The LF-C2 concept shows what's in store for our brand's future design direction," Lexus boss Jeff Bracken said. "This concept shows consumers around the world Lexus' devotion to emotional designs as well as our passion for an exceptional driving experience."

2015 Lexus RC 350 F Sport snarls in Switzerland with darkened demeanor

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

Lexus is finally ready to return to the coupe market with the new RC, and while we already saw it in Detroit, it brought the new RC 350 F Sport version for the Geneva Motor Show.
The car packs 306 horsepower and 277 pound-feet from its 3.5-liter V6 and is meant to sit between the standard RC 350 Sport Coupe and the full bore RC F.
Most obvious when you glimpse the coupe is the more aggressive spindle grille with a new mesh treatment and dark, 19-inch F Sport wheels. The interior also receives a host of upgrades with Rioja Red leather and Silver Performance trim, plus perforated leather trim on the steering wheel and shift knob. There is a bit of LFA inspiration as well with the F Sport getting its moving center ring instrument display. It is not all about better style though because the coupe also gets adaptive dampers and an optional four-wheel steering system.
