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.

BMW-Toyota partnership to spawn hybrid supercar

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

BMW and Toyota inked a partnership some time ago to develop green technology, and while we were excited by the idea of a reborn Supra with BMW's carbon fiber reinforced plastic slashing the curb weight or an ultra-efficient, hybridized 1 Series, the joint efforts have been rather limited. That's set to change, though, according to a report from Australia.
Motoring reports that the partners have come to terms on a sports car. And not just any sports car, but a lightweight, hybridized model, with a six-figure price tag. Lending a bit of street cred to that idea is the site's claim that Toyota is currently carrying out durability testing on the BMW i8. According to the site, the new model will slot into the spot left by the Lexus LFA, although based on the language used, it's unclear if this is the Tokyo-bound vehicle we mentioned several months ago.
Details on this potential car are limited, although Motoring claims it will use a Toyota hybrid system mated up to a BMW gas engine - likely the 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8 found in the M5 and M6. That sounds pretty amazing to us, but we'd still advise taking this with a grain of salt. What would you like to see out of a joint-venture supercar from Toyota and BMW? Let us know in Comments, and have your say on the prospects of a hybridized, twin-turbocharged V8.

Lexus launching new Crafted Line special editions at Pebble Beach

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

Over the course of the past 25 years, Lexus has done one heck of a job winding its way into the luxury automobile market previously dominated by the Germans. And now it aims to take another step into the luxury arena with The Crafted Line by Lexus.
Set to debut at Pebble Beach later this month, the Crafted line offers the Storm Trooper treatment with high-contrast white paint and black trim. The interiors are done up in two-tone black and red, and Tumi has done up a special set of luggage to match.
The special edition will be available on the ES350 as well as the F Sport versions of the LS460, GS350, IS250 (in both rear- and all-wheel drive) and RX350 AWD. Each will be limited to around 1,000 examples (give or take, depending on the model), with pricing set to start at around $42,000 for the ES pictured above. Scope out the full details in the press release below.

2015 Lexus NX starts at $34,480*

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

Lexus has announced pricing for the 2015 NX crossover lineup, which goes on sale next month.
The NX 200t starts at $34,480, and the all-wheel-drive model adds a $1,400 premium to lift the sticker to $35,880 (*destination charges of $925 are not included in the prices). The 200t uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine making 235 horsepower, and it's Lexus' first-ever gasoline-fed turbo.
The hybrid version, the 300h, starts at $39,720, and all-wheel drive tacks on $1,590 for a price of $41,310. The hybrid teams a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor to generate 194 hp. Though power dips, Lexus anticipates this version will get a combined 33 miles per gallon with front-wheel drive when the EPA ratings are announced - a considerable leap when compared with the combined 24-mpg estimate for the turbo model.
