Up for auction is my friend's 2001 ES 300. This car has about 211,000 miles on it but the engine only has about 130,000 miles.  The engine was replaced because the prior owner did not change the oil soon enough so the engine started making noise shortly after my friend bought it. I helped him source a engine that only had about 100,000  miles on it. The engine was installed when the car had about 179,000 miles on it. We contracted a Toyota / Lexus technician for installation of the engine. All of the following was performed during the engine replacement:  Replacement of both primary air / fuel ratio sensors, timing belt, water pump, valve cover gaskets, rear main engine oil seal, spark plugs, all fluids and filters. Only genuine Lexus parts were used for this. 


Other recent repairs include:

NEW front and rear brake pads (replaced  on 4/25/2011 @ 191,000 miles)
NEW battery (replaced on 5/04/2012 @ 204,000 miles)
NEW alternator (replaced on 9/14/2012 @ 208,000 miles) - you can see how new it is in one of the pics.
NEW charcoal canister (replaced on 1/30/13 @ 210,000 miles) - check engine light was on so it required replacement
Major Service (performed on 6/06/12 @ 205,000 miles)

All of the above (in italics) were performed at a local Lexus dealer.

The oil pan and transmission pan was just resealed a week ago by a Toyota technician. 

Overall the car is VERY CLEAN with only minor flaws that you would expect for a car of this age. The car does have some minor dings and scratches here and there along with a few scrapes on the rear bumper. The tires have at least 60 % tread life remaining. The car drives tight, smooth and does not leak a drop of oil. The driver exterior mirror has some discoloration on the lens but you can still see everything behind you. Seat heaters are inoperable (probably just needs switches). Car is equipped with a aftermarket Pioneer head unit which has bluetooth, Make no mistake I do not think you will find a cleaner or better car for the money. The interior is VERY clean and keep in mind it hasn't been detailed. Rear seat had a small tear which has been repaired. The car has been a smoke free car for all of it's life (as far as I know). I reserve the right to cancel the auction due to local "word of mouth" advertising. Car is priced fairly in accordance to local KBB value. I priced this ES300 based on a car with 211,000 miles on it but as I mentioned earlier the engine only has 130,000 miles on it with plenty of NEW Lexus OEM parts......no aftermarket discount junk parts were used.

Judge halts Toyota unintended acceleration cases, triggers time for settlement negotiations

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

So far, the lawsuits brought forth against Toyota for unintended acceleration have gone both ways: the automaker was found not at fault in a 2009 California crash and liable for a 2007 crash in Oklahoma. Both cases involved a Camry and resulted in fatalities. With a big chunk of these UA cases (around 200) set to his the docket of US District Judge James V. Selna in Santa Ana, California, Bloomberg is reporting that the judge has halted the lawsuits until March after Toyota and its lawyers have had extra time to try and settle the cases.
According to the article, Toyota is looking to take care of the cases out of court with an "intensive settlement process." Having already paid out $1.6 billion in "economic loss" suits, this latest settlement process is aimed at the wrongful death and personal injury cases allegedly associated with unintended acceleration. A hearing for the settlements will be held on January 14 with conferences on the matter commencing in February. There is no word as to when lawsuits may start back up if settlements can't be agreed upon.

Lexus readying hot IS F Coupe

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The 2014 Lexus IS sedan has been turning heads and dividing public opinion since we first drove it. Then, as now, we knew that a revamped IS F would be in the offing at some point, but until today we had know idea what form the Lexus would take.
Our first ever batch of 2015 Lexus IS F spy shots has just come across the transom, and the camouflaged coupe - that's right, there are just two doors this time out - is awfully intriguing at first glance. A much more aggressive front end is prominent, as is the slinky roofline that finishes in a pert rear end. The signature IS grille is still in effect here, at least in terms of the shape, and while the headlamps are covered up, we'd expect some variation of the slash-like units on the 2014 IS.
Hinting at the car's performance intentions are large slotted brake rotors with significantly sized calipers, all tucked in behind dark-finish wheels. Quad exhaust tips and a retractable spoiler can be seen at the back of the car.

Lincoln MKC crossover adopts the Continental's grille

Thu, Jun 15 2017

The last vestiges of the controversial split Lincoln grille are slowly being removed as the company revamps its lineup. It started with the MKZ and Continental, with the most recent rhinoplasty recipient being the Navigator. Now, based on spy shots, it looks like the MKC crossover will be the fourth to get the new corporate grille. Under the heavy vinyl coverings, we can clearly see the proud Continental-inspired grille. We can also see that it will feature the same chrome mesh with Lincoln badge-shaped openings found on other cars with the grille design. We can also assume that the headlights will receive a substantial refresh, but the lower bumper doesn't look particularly different. The rest of this prototype MKC looks the same as the existing model. The back is covered, which indicates that the taillights may be updated. We wouldn't expect a radically different look, since the MKC already has a full-width taillight treatment. We also noticed that the wheels appear to be inspired by the cool turbine wheels of the Navigator. Whatever the other changes are, we'll probably see them soon. This is clearly just a refresh, and so there's a good chance we'll see the production model revealed by the end of the year, or early next year at the latest. Related Video:
