I bought this car as a commuter vehicle while living in Massachusetts since last year, and it's been a pleasure to drive. My only complaints about it are lack of iphone integration, and poor speaker quality. For iphone integration, I ended up buying a cassette adapter that plugs into the headphone jack of the iphone. There is a spare cigarette lighter in the armrest compartment which I have a two-port USB adapter plugged into for power. Regarding the speaker quality, do some research on these older Lexus models - the speaker cones tend to separate from the frame. They can be repaired with inexpensive kits ($10-$20), but it's not easy getting to the speakers - check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW2VWq2LLHs. The sound system is still usable as is; only loud bass is noisy.

Accessories included:
  • 2 keys (one includes an integrated keyfob; the other is a spare key only).
  • Original manuals
  • Cassette adapter for smartphone
  • Dual port cigarette USB adapter for smartphone or other USB device
  • (2) 6-disc CD adapters for CD changer
  • A set of all-weather floor mats (in addition to the stock floor mats)
Moving to California, must sell by April 9! If you cannot arrange for cleared payment and pickup before then, please contact me before bidding. I will not transfer ownership of the car until after payment has cleared, so please factor this in. I have a clear Massachusetts title on the vehicle.

Lexus talks LFA successor

Sat, 09 Aug 2014

Did you just miss out on purchasing one of the 500 Lexus LFA supercars built between 2010 and 2012? "No big deal," you're probably thinking, "I'll just wait until the next time Lexus builds a supercar." Well, we're afraid that you'll be waiting quite a long time. And by long time, we mean about 30 years.
That's according to a report from Bloomberg, which indicates that yes, Lexus is looking at a follow-up to the V10-powered, carbon-fiber-bodied LFA.
"Akio [Toyoda] believes that every generation deserves to have a car like an LFA, so we're building an LFA for the generation we have today," Lexus Executive Vice President Mark Templin told Bloomberg. "At some point, there may be another special car for another generation."

Online Find of the Day: Lexus-engined Mercedes pickup is a vintage hybrid

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

You have to love someone who gets incredibly committed to a very weird idea. What you see for sale here is a right-hand drive 1971 Mercedes-Benz 220D in South Africa, but this old Mercedes is now converted into a pickup, complete with bed cover, and there's big secret under the hood, too.
The pickup conversion appears well done based on seller Sedgefield Classic Cars' photos. Even the tonneau cover fits well. You could almost believe that this Mercedes lived its life as a Chevrolet El Camino-like pickup from the very beginning.
However, the rear-quarters conversion might not be the weirdest thing about this Mercedes. The original diesel is gone from the engine bay in favor of a Lexus V8. It seems really odd to pop the hood and find a Japanese mill in this German car, but the photos make it look like a fairly well performed swap. So, bravo to the crazy thinking. According to the seller speaking to Autoblog by email, "as far as we can establish, this was done a few years ago, with all Lexus components."

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.
