This car is in great shape. Nearly the entire service history, other than a few things over the years, was done at Lexus dealers..


If you are looking for a stock, well cared for MONSTER of an SC 400 that is a reliable, solid everyday driver that you can just get into and cruise, this is a great choice! If  my car  were a load of garbage i'd be selling it for $4000 or best off on the street in Orange County New York and would sell it in a 1/2 hour...  I know what i have here, and its worth the little bit of extra money.. if you want to come with cash and make an offer perhaps i'd be into that.. 

If you want an awesome car and you are on a budget this is a no brainer... Reasonable to maintain at Lexus dealers over the years, but if you want to save some money on the maintenance you can take it to any Toyota dealer as well... 

I have meticulously maintained this vehicle since i bought it from Palm Beach Lexus in 2002, it had about 40,000 miles on it. Some old guy traded it into the dealership towards a new SC 430. I was lucky enough to have been servicing my 1993 Lexus ES 300, 5 speed,  and met the guy trading it in who introduced me to the salesman and the rest is history. The ES  V6 with the manual 5 speed was ok, but i really needed a V8... Doesn't everyone!?!!?

 i have averaged about 300 miles per tank of gas give or take over the years, and am just driving it less and less these days, so its time to pass this gem on to someone who can handle her for the next 200,000+ miles. 

Although i have been lucky enough to not have had any major problems with this car over the years, i have had every service either mandatory or recommended, done without hesitation. Every thing from  ignition coil to the timing belt have been replaced as the mileage indicated it was time to do so along with all regular maintenance and all scheduled services.

Palm Beach Lexus completely replaced and updated/upgraded the AC system when i bought it, so its still blowing cold. they also re-painted the from bumper that started peeling about 1 year ago, lasted longer than i thought (see pictures). 
I had the sound system overhauled,  all in car speakers (unless i was ripped off, because i cant say 100% what is in there lol)  are JL audio & MB QUART, i replaced the 8 inch nakamichi sub with a  10 inch sub in the rear deck that is a JL also. The stock head-unit was changed to what was at the time a top of the line 6 disk Pioneer Double din unit that is still towards the top of the line today.. (see pictures)

Tires still have plenty of time on them, just need a rotation soon, i think the breaks are about 50%-60% or so, i usually have the breaks done when there is at about 15%-20% left... i have the tires rotated and oil changed regularly.. 

This car is in a different class than any one i have ever seen on ebay or on the road. I see these cars pushing 200,000+ miles and are usually just sorry looking sad sun damaged cars that already look broken down, but this car is solid, garage kept, drives strong and still  has the POWER!   Really!    No test drives without cash in hand. I have the title. 

This is one of the few SC 400's out there that if you wanted to you can just concentrate on correcting some of  the minor flaws in its condition,  most if not all is just normal wear and tare for a car its age, but you can see by the pics the white pearl paint still pops and the spots that need attention are small and pretty minor... As you can see from the pictures the carpets, seats and interior are all pretty clean and in good shape, better than most. i have been asked many times if i had a new interior and seats installed.... but i guess it could use a shampooing. The driver seat, arm rest, and steering wheel could use some leather conditioning...  The driver seat and the console have the most wear along with the steering wheel.  

What i would recommend is to buy this car, have the stock wheels chrome dipped and have the few spots that need paint professionally re-sprayed and lastly have a really good wash, wax, and a paint buffing/revitalization done... If you want to go the extra mile some of the suspension could be upgraded to more expensive high performance parts, but i really love the ride and how it drives... plenty of pull and corners and handles very well... 

This car has most of the little issues and quirks & things that all the SC's have, some moisture in the driver side headlight (even though they were just both replaced with brand new ones) there is some funny business with a few lights in the dash, like the check engine light is on for no good reason, the only way to get it to turn off is to have the O2 sensors replaced, which is not necessary and would run about $1000. There are a couple little dings, nothing major, couldnt even get them to show up on the pictures, the runner on the driver side (pictured) needs to be pulled, i just dont have time... also, i know the cars looks great in the pictures but i havn,t even had it washed or cleaned in a few months, so yea paint and everything looks great! 

email me if you want to see the car, of have any questions... i'll add to this description if i can think of anything else.. oh, yea, look at the pictures of the engine, i have never cleaned the engine, it is just in THAT GREAT OF SHAPE! 

i had 40 really awesome pictures but could only upload 24, so that's why there are only pictures of 3 of 4 tires/wheels, not because 1 is missing or grossly damaged. The car is perfect for a turbo or supercharger!!

2018 Lexus GX 460 Drivers' Notes Review | When dinosaurs roamed the earth

Wed, Apr 11 2018

The 2018 Lexus GX 460 has been on sale since late 2009. There have been a few minor updates, but a 2018 model is essentially the same as one from 2010. It's based on the global Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and shares more than a little with the Toyota 4Runner. It slots between the Lexus RX and the big daddy Lexus LX. Despite its age, it's still a seller. Sales were up in 2017. In fact, the GX had its best year in the U.S. since 2005. Blame cheap gas all you want. Really, people just want SUVs. We have a base-spec model. The only option is navigation. There's no heated seats or upgraded audio or safety features like blind-spot monitoring or active cruise control. It's basic and honest, but it also highlights just how out of date the GX really is. Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore: The GX 460 is a body-on-frame, V8-powered, three-row grunt. It's comfortable and functional, but in a segment with more than a few options, this one struggles to stand out. The styling is polarizing yet somehow also vanilla. The spindle grille looks awkward and out of place — a dissonant interpretation of Lexus' latest design language — while the lightly flared fenders say almost nothing. The 4.6-liter V8 only puts out 301 horsepower but still slurps gas to the tune of 15 miles per gallon in the city and 18 mpg on the highway. Power delivery is fine via the six-speed automatic transmission, but the GX 460 feels sluggish from launches. The interior is nice enough with pleasing materials and an intuitive layout. Visibility is solid, you're certainly high enough up, so the command driving position is confidence-inducing. Not a fan of the eight-inch multimedia screen, which feels small and isn't the most informative system I've ever used. Overall, I'd give the GX 460 a C+ compared to other vehicles in this segment. Decent, but dated and lacking some compelling elements. That being said, if you're a Lexus loyalist and want a beastly three-row SUV, you will like this one. If you're more brand agnostic, there are better options out there. Associate Editor Reese Counts: Let's get one thing out of the way — the Lexus GX is old. Yes, it's been on sale essentially unchanged since late 2009, but that's not all there is to it. This is a traditional, body-on-frame SUV with a torquey V8 and a real four-wheel drive system. It's one of the last of its breed. Customers have shifted away from these behemoths, settling on more comfortable and more efficient car-based crossovers.

Lexus IS F avoids cancellation, priced from $63,350*

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

Ever since the redesigned Lexus IS hit the scene, we've been wondering about the 416-horsepower IS F model, and now we finally have some answers. For 2014, the IS F carries over with the previous bodystyle, and Lexus gives its sport sedan some small changes to go with a higher starting price of $63,350 (*not including $910 for destination) when it goes on sale in October. Compared to the 2013 model (shown above), the price has risen by $1,600.
For that extra money, buyers will get a couple styling changes like the new carbon fiber decklid spoiler and LED fog lights, as well as some minor interior updates like headrests embossed with the "F" logo, Alcantara trim added to the door panels and center console cover, semi-aniline leather replacing the black leather and black Alcantara seat-inserts added to cars equipped with the red leather seats.
The price hike for the IS F is considerably higher than the rest of the 2014 IS lineup such as the $885 increase for the new IS250 and the $855 drop for the IS350 while pricing for both IS Convertible models (IS250C and IS350C) went up by $100 each. Speaking of price increases, Lexus has also increased its destination charge slightly from $895 up to $910.

Lexus gives Jay Leno a shot at driving its 2014 IS

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

After we drove a prototype of the 2014 Lexus IS, we were told that Lexus was shipping it back to Japan. As it turns out, late-night funnyman Jay Leno was already in the motherland with the coming sport sedan, and he lapped it around Fuji Motor Speedway with Chief Engineer Junichi Furuyama.
This was probably during his LFA drive two months ago, actually, when Furuyama-san was even more tight-lipped about the IS than he was a week ago, so Leno has to make the best guesses he can. Leno goes over the whole car, then takes it out for a casual spin, so at least you get to see it in action. As for Jay's take, you'll just have to watch the video below to find out.
