SC430

This is my 2002 Lexus SC430 that I have owned for nearly 4 years. I believe it has all the options available: leather, touch-screen navigation, Mark Levinson 9-speaker sound system, rear spoiler, heated seats with memory, CD changer, HomeLink, etc. You can get the full list of equipment here under 'Specifications'. The color is called 'Absolutely Red', and it is absolutely the color to have.  The red and tan color combo with the maple wood is just killer. The wood is real bird's-eye maple, no plastic imitations here.  It has 18" Sporza D5 chrome wheels replacing those ugly stock things.

The tires and rear brakes are nearly new, less than 2,000 miles. Fresh oil change and NH state inspection in September.  The retractable hardtop works flawlessly, as do all other creature comforts, no excuses.  It has been stored indoors in winters.  Complete with owner's manuals, full factory service manuals, nav DVD, socket for wheel locks, 2 keys with remote, and service records during my ownership.
I will also include a space-saver spare tire.  The SC430 was shipped from the factory with no spare because it had run-flat tires.  I don't like run-flats, so it now has regular 245/40R18 tires.  I bought a spare off eBay, just in case.  You can also get a kit from Lexus (or eBay) that has all the components to make this fit nicely in the trunk, but I didn't bother.  The Lexus tools are also included.

This has a rebuilt title. It was originally a Florida car, and was involved in an accident there in 2008.  It was purchased from the insurance company and professionally repaired in Illinois.  I do not have pictures before repair or know exactly what happened; I just know it was in the front.  When I purchased it in 2009, I had it inspected by Lexus of Northborough, MA, and they said all work had been done correctly and there was no suspension or frame damage. It now has 58,000 miles on it, and I have had -zero- problems with it beyond regular maintenance. This is a REBUILT title, not a SALVAGE title - big difference, no hassles with registration or insurance.  Unless you are looking to buy a car that is still under warranty, this should be a non-issue, but please check with your own DMV to be sure.  The dealer just completed an airbag recall that came out in September - full service, full tank of gas, and a car wash, all no charge.  I also own an Acura RL and a Mercedes SL55 AMG, and in my experience, Lexus service is by far the best.  This is an excellent chance to get an absolutely great deal on a great car.
Lexus style with Toyota reliability.

There are a couple of issues.  Nothing awful, but just so you know.   The driver's seat has a scratch in the bottom leather.  Not too bad, looks like maybe someone had a screwdriver in their pocket.  See photo.  The nose has many stone chips from lots of highway driving.  Again, see photos.  This is not a new car, so please don't expect it to be.  But even with the stone chips and some very small nicks, the paint is gorgeous.  The interior shows some age in the driver leather, but is overall very nice.  I don't think the rear seat has ever been used.

Please review all pictures below and call or e-mail me with questions.  NOTE:  the black thing with a wire on the top right corner of the windshield is an antenna for my portable satellite radio.  The antenna is magnetic and will be removed prior to sale.

If you want to talk, contact Dennis @ 603-249-6 oh 7 one.  I'm in Spofford, NH, just outside Keene, less than 2 hours from Boston or Hartford.  I am not a dealer, no fees, no taxes, no games.  Title in hand - please know what a rebuilt title means.  Inspections welcome BEFORE bidding.  It may get a few more miles on it before I let it go.  I will assist in any way I can in shipping, but shipping expenses are the responsibility of the buyer.  Pickup zip code is 03462.  Car does not leave the garage until all payments have cleared.  I will need a $500 Paypal deposit within 48 hours, and the balance within 10 days.  I recommend bank transfer for the least hassle; I will provide details if you choose this method of payment.  Good ol' Ben Franklins also work well.  For sale locally, ad may be canceled at any time.

Physical and virtual gaming worlds collide in Lexus IS Hybrid promo

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

This is really, really cool. In order to promote its new IS Hybrid, Lexus borrowed an airplane hangar, a former Formula One driver and what we imagine was some serious technological knowhow to create one of the most interesting games we've ever seen. It's called Trace Your Road.
Lexus invited some of its Facebook fans out for the game, which put them in the passenger seat of a Lexus IS Hybrid with former F1 shoe Jarno Trulli. They were then handed a tablet and asked to trace out a road, which was projected onto the floor of the hangar. Trulli had to follow the ever-changing path as his passenger kept on tracing away. It looks like it'd be an absolute riot.
This is probably the coolest automotive promotional video since Audi strapped paintball guns on a couple of RS4s. Take a look below to watch the full video from Lexus. We promise, it's worth two minutes of your time.

Toyota Mirai, Lexus LS show off Advanced Drive assists with OTA updates, AI

Thu, Apr 8 2021

TOKYO — Toyota Motor Corp unveiled on Thursday new models of Lexus and Mirai in Japan, equipped with advanced driver assistance, as competition heats up to develop more self-driving and connected cars. Toyota's latest launch comes as automakers, electric car startups and tech giants invest heavily in so-called active safety features. The Japanese carmaker's new driving assist technology, or Advanced Drive, features a level 2 autonomous system that helps driving, such as limiting the car in its lane, maintaining the distance from other vehicles and changing lanes under the driver's supervision on expressways or other motor-vehicle-only roads. The system can even handle lane merges, and when passing trucks its lane system will move the car further to the opposite side of its lane. The car will recommend a course of action to a driver before executing it. The system also features a camera to monitor the driver's actions and level of attentiveness, and if the driver seems unresponsive or incapacitated, the car will pull itself over. The luxury sedan Lexus LS will be on sale from Thursday, costing between about 16.3 million yen ($148,600) and 17.9 million yen ($164,000), while the second-generation Mirai hydrogen fuel cell car will be offered on April 12 at between 8.4 million ($76,900) and 8.6 million yen ($78,750).

The new models are Toyota's first products brought to the market that provide over-the-air updates and utilize AI technology centered on deep learning, said Toyota executive James Kuffner, who is also the head of Toyota's research unit Woven Planet. "This is really an important first step in our journey towards software-first development," he said at an online briefing on Thursday, adding that the company has tried to design the software to be truly global and to provide re-usability. In the future, software features on cars will be "upgradable" and "more customizable" much like how people personalize their smartphones, Kuffner added. Fully self-driven cars are still likely to be years away, but rival General Motors early this year made a splash at the virtual Consumer Electronics Show with a fully-autonomous all-electric flying Cadillac concept, while Chinese search engine operator Baidu unveiled a partnership with local car brand Geely.

Lexus Bladescan is another new headlight safety breakthrough U.S. won't get

Fri, Jun 21 2019

Lexus is back at it with innovative lighting technology. The BladeScan headlights available in Europe on the 2020 RX utilize a new mechanism for throwing light further down the road, aiming that light more precisely, and doing so without blinding other road users. Lights from other OEMs with the same capabilities have increased the number of LEDs inside the housing for finer control. The BladeScan module inside the Lexus lights holds the number of LEDs down to 10 on each side of the RX, which Lexus says is a more cost-effective solution. In fact, BladeScan uses fewer LEDs than Lexus' most recent adaptive high-beam system, which has 24 LEDs on each side. The LEDs in the new module are arranged in two rows, eight on top, two on bottom. The diodes are fed information about objects ahead, and adjust their intensity to dim light aimed at an oncoming car, or illuminate a pedestrian by the roadside. However, the LEDs don't shine their light down the road, they shine their strobing light onto two blade-shaped mirrors — hence the name BladeScan — that rotate at high speed. The light reflects off the mirrored blades and into a lens, which orients the beam down the road. Not only is the reflected light easier to handle for oncoming drivers, the system has aim accurate to 0.7 degrees. Lexus' current adaptives are accurate to 1.7 degrees, making BladeScan a 143-percent improvement. That means the new feature can throw even more light into areas that are hard to reach with current lights — Lexus says pedestrian recognition at night has increased from 105 feet to 184 feet. Buyers of the 2020 RX will be able to take advantage when the new crossover goes on sale in Europe later this year. Naturally, U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 means we won't get BladeScan — that goes for you, too, Canada. The now-52-year-old U.S. law mandates a single low beam and a single high beam setting, with no intermediate settings and no activation of high and low beams simultaneously. Toyota, Audi and BMW have been trying for six years to get FMVSS 108 changed to permit new and potentially lifesaving headlight technologies. The automaker wrote in a statement to Carscoops, "Last December, Lexus submitted a petition to NHTSA to allow ADB in the United States. Currently, we await the Agency's decision and hope to see an amendment in FMVSS 108."
