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.

2015 Lexus RC F leaked out ahead of upcoming debut?

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

Lexus has had a somewhat volatile relationship with coupes. The first-gen SC gave way to the bloated second-gen convertible, which itself went out of production three years ago. The LFA arrived the same year the SC departed, but awesome as it was, it's six-figure price tag and limited production put it well out of reach even for the brand's typical upscale customers. That left only the IS Convertible to hold down the two-door end of the lineup, but Lexus is keen to fill that void with the arrival of the upcoming RC.
Oft been spied and speculated, the RC has reportedly leaked out from Japan's Best Car magazine in tantalizing RC F spec - although with the increasing quality of renderings (and the graininess of the photos in question), we could be looking at an artist's impression. That will upgrade the base coupe's anticipated 3.5-liter V6 and 306 horsepower with a 5.0-liter V8 churning out 455 hp, along with more aggressive styling previewed by the LF-CC concept.
Signs point toward the RC serving as the coupe counterpart to the IS, while the IS Convertible is expected to carry on (either in current or facelifted form) on the outgoing model's platform. Look for a reveal at either the Tokyo Motor Show in November or the Detroit Auto Show in December.

2013 Lexus ES350

Finally Saying Goodbye To Its Camry Roots
In its equivalent world of breakfast foods, the Lexus ES350 is unquestionably the pancake. While its siblings may offer more interesting textures, flavors and consistencies - a generally more exciting culinary experience - the four-door ES is designed with 'indistinct' as its middle name. Its objective is to please just about every entry-level luxury buyer once it ends up on their plate.
Even after a complete redesign for the 2013 model year, the sixth-generation Lexus ES350 emerges every bit as family-friendly and non-polarizing as its predecessors. It is the everyman's luxury sedan, offering attractive pricing and a satisfying fill of amenities and features with the sweetness of a long warranty and polished customer service to back things up.

Lexus fans vote Solar Flare for new RC F hue

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

What's in a name? When it comes to model nameplates, quite a lot, and automakers go to considerable lengths to find just the right one. Same goes for the names of the colors in the catalog (save for maybe the Rape Yellow in the extensive Bugatti palette), but every once in a while, an automaker will open it up for suggestions from the public.
SRT did that when it introduced a new shade of blue for its Viper, as did Chevy for the pale green on the Volt. And last month, Lexus followed a similar path when it asked fans on Facebook to come up with a name for the new shade of orange for the RC F.
Fans suggested names like Tangerine Flame, Outrageous Orange and Fiery Orange, but ultimately the winning submission that Lexus selected was Solar Flare. The name was suggested by five individuals and will now enter the catalog of colors for the new luxury muscle coupe with its 450-horsepower 5.0-liter V8.
