Beautiful 1998 Lexus LS400

Up for your consideration is a very clean 1998 Lexus LS400 in Antique Sterling Metallic. I am still driving the vehicle so it currently has 103,155 miles. By the end of this auction the odometer will likely read 103,500.

UPDATE: When I first put the car up for sale, my reserve price was $6,500. I decided to take off the platinum edition wheels and have lowered the reserve price accordingly. Also, I just found out that this car will need an O2 sensor so I have lowered the price. A link of where to get the part is below.

Maintenance and Exterior

The car is fantastic mechanical shape and has low miles. I get amazing gas mileage and really baby the car. You can see from the photo I am averaging around 25 mpg. I am usually anywhere from 22-25 mpg. The major service (timing belt, etc.) was done at 89,800 miles (see photo). In the past week I just found out the car needs a O2 sensor but everything else checks out great.

As far as fluids go, I run Amsoil synthetic oil because it is the best. I just had the transmission drained and replaced with Amsoil tranny fluid.

The prior owner had most of the car's service done at Rohrich Lexus. After I purchased the car, I had the service done at Dorschel Lexus.

There is no rust on the car other than where there are a couple of rock chips. I planned to get that fixed if I decided to keep the car. Look at the undercarriage pictures ... the car is extremely clean.

I have two sets of rims ... the platinum edition rims I am selling separately. I can send you a picture of the wheels on the car. It looks absolutely stunning! The original five-star type wheels with lug covers are not as nice and have been put back on the vehicle.

There is a carfax for the vehicle at www . carfax . com /cfm / FSBO.cfm? report=B726861AB17B72961994F684978DDDCB

Interior

The interior is really sweet. I use Leatherique on the leather surfaces. The areas that have been affected most by the sun felt like cardboard but now are buttery soft. Lexus leather is the best and I used the best stuff on the planet to care for it. I have carpeted floor mats as well as custom made Lloyds RubberTite floor mats in matching gray. Look at the photos you can tell the car is treated well.

Issues

As with any car (and especially one that is 15-years old), one should expect some wear and tear. There are three things I want to be upfront about .....

1. The car needs an O2 sensor. Cars need maintenance and the check engine light just came on. The winner will need to purchase one and replace the sensor. The car's performance is not affected in any way. Here's the link to website to get an OEM sensor. If you go directly to a dealer, you will be ripped off. http://www.lexusparts now.com/parts/lexus-sensor-oxygen~89465-50100.html

2. There are a few rock chips on the hood will need some attention. I took a photo so you may see. There are few dings and scratches as well as a small chip in the windshield that hasn't spread. For the age of the car, I think it is in great condition especially mechanically.

3. The front bumper looks as though it has faded a tinge since it is not quite the same color as the cladding. I planned to have it repainted if I kept the car. It is what it is.

Finally, if you weren't already aware, this car is sold "as is" without any warranties expressed or implied. I have tried to represent this car to the best of my abilities. I am not a mechanic or an automobile professional so caveat emptor.

With all that being said, I really find this car to be the best I have ever owned. It is smooth, refined and just exudes class in an understated way. I have the title to the car in hand.

Please contact me through ebay with any questions you may have. Best of luck and happy bidding!

2014 Lexus IS gets TRD bits

Mon, 20 May 2013

Toyota Racing Development (TRD) in Japan has designed cosmetic and performance bits that give the 2014 Lexus IS a front-to-back workover. Different from the F-Sport parts we expect from Lexus here, the full body kit runs 437,700 yen ($4,285 US) and starts with air deflectors at the lower edges of the front bumper, through to side skirts, a decklid spoiler and a rear bumper with a diffuser and quad exhaust tips.
For 288,750 yen ($2,830) you can sharpen responses with new shocks, springs, dampers, sway bar and bracing. The priciest individual component is the set of 19-inch wheels, four of them going for 527,625 yen (5,170 US). There's no word on US importation or pricing yet, but done up all in black like the IS above, we wouldn't mind seeing it here.

Updated Lexus CT200h coming next year, new variants reported

Thu, 10 Oct 2013

Lexus has had a minor success on its hands with the CT200h, a funky, five-door, sport-luxury hybrid that burst onto the scene in 2011, and managed just over 17,000 US sales in 2012. Worked out to a monthly average, that's nearly 50 percent more units per month than Lexus initially targeted when the car went on sale.
Though it's done well, the CT has been left behind while designers and engineers have reworked the rest of the Lexus lineup, bringing out fully revamped versions of the GS, IS and LS over the past few years. According to a report from Down Under, though, the little CT will get some attention soon.
Speaking to Sean Hanley, boss of Lexus Australia, Aussie site The Motor Report picked up a telling quote about the execs affections for the CT, when he said, "We see the CT200h as our greatest opportunity." Hanley added that a refresh of the CT could happen early in 2014, while a clean-sheet reworking would happen around 2016.

Lexus jumps head first into turbocharging with its 2015 NX 200t

Mon, 07 Jul 2014

If Lexus is going to stay competitive, it needs to turbocharge sooner rather than later.
If there's anything that Lexus is experienced with, thanks in large part to its corporate parents at Toyota, it's hybrid powertrains. The automaker has hybridized tiny little four-cylinder engines, massive honkin' V8s and everything in between. So synonymous are hybrids and Lexus that it would be a shock to see a brand-new model released without an accompanying version with blue badging and a little "h" appendage to its name.
