This car is in great shape. Nearly the entire service history, other than a few things over the years, was done at Lexus dealers..


If you are looking for a stock, well cared for MONSTER of an SC 400 that is a reliable, solid everyday driver that you can just get into and cruise, this is a great choice! If  my car  were a load of garbage i'd be selling it for $4000 or best off on the street in Orange County New York and would sell it in a 1/2 hour...  I know what i have here, and its worth the little bit of extra money.. if you want to come with cash and make an offer perhaps i'd be into that.. 

If you want an awesome car and you are on a budget this is a no brainer... Reasonable to maintain at Lexus dealers over the years, but if you want to save some money on the maintenance you can take it to any Toyota dealer as well... 

I have meticulously maintained this vehicle since i bought it from Palm Beach Lexus in 2002, it had about 40,000 miles on it. Some old guy traded it into the dealership towards a new SC 430. I was lucky enough to have been servicing my 1993 Lexus ES 300, 5 speed,  and met the guy trading it in who introduced me to the salesman and the rest is history. The ES  V6 with the manual 5 speed was ok, but i really needed a V8... Doesn't everyone!?!!?

 i have averaged about 300 miles per tank of gas give or take over the years, and am just driving it less and less these days, so its time to pass this gem on to someone who can handle her for the next 200,000+ miles. 

Although i have been lucky enough to not have had any major problems with this car over the years, i have had every service either mandatory or recommended, done without hesitation. Every thing from  ignition coil to the timing belt have been replaced as the mileage indicated it was time to do so along with all regular maintenance and all scheduled services.

Palm Beach Lexus completely replaced and updated/upgraded the AC system when i bought it, so its still blowing cold. they also re-painted the from bumper that started peeling about 1 year ago, lasted longer than i thought (see pictures). 
I had the sound system overhauled,  all in car speakers (unless i was ripped off, because i cant say 100% what is in there lol)  are JL audio & MB QUART, i replaced the 8 inch nakamichi sub with a  10 inch sub in the rear deck that is a JL also. The stock head-unit was changed to what was at the time a top of the line 6 disk Pioneer Double din unit that is still towards the top of the line today.. (see pictures)

Tires still have plenty of time on them, just need a rotation soon, i think the breaks are about 50%-60% or so, i usually have the breaks done when there is at about 15%-20% left... i have the tires rotated and oil changed regularly.. 

This car is in a different class than any one i have ever seen on ebay or on the road. I see these cars pushing 200,000+ miles and are usually just sorry looking sad sun damaged cars that already look broken down, but this car is solid, garage kept, drives strong and still  has the POWER!   Really!    No test drives without cash in hand. I have the title. 

This is one of the few SC 400's out there that if you wanted to you can just concentrate on correcting some of  the minor flaws in its condition,  most if not all is just normal wear and tare for a car its age, but you can see by the pics the white pearl paint still pops and the spots that need attention are small and pretty minor... As you can see from the pictures the carpets, seats and interior are all pretty clean and in good shape, better than most. i have been asked many times if i had a new interior and seats installed.... but i guess it could use a shampooing. The driver seat, arm rest, and steering wheel could use some leather conditioning...  The driver seat and the console have the most wear along with the steering wheel.  

What i would recommend is to buy this car, have the stock wheels chrome dipped and have the few spots that need paint professionally re-sprayed and lastly have a really good wash, wax, and a paint buffing/revitalization done... If you want to go the extra mile some of the suspension could be upgraded to more expensive high performance parts, but i really love the ride and how it drives... plenty of pull and corners and handles very well... 

This car has most of the little issues and quirks & things that all the SC's have, some moisture in the driver side headlight (even though they were just both replaced with brand new ones) there is some funny business with a few lights in the dash, like the check engine light is on for no good reason, the only way to get it to turn off is to have the O2 sensors replaced, which is not necessary and would run about $1000. There are a couple little dings, nothing major, couldnt even get them to show up on the pictures, the runner on the driver side (pictured) needs to be pulled, i just dont have time... also, i know the cars looks great in the pictures but i havn,t even had it washed or cleaned in a few months, so yea paint and everything looks great! 

email me if you want to see the car, of have any questions... i'll add to this description if i can think of anything else.. oh, yea, look at the pictures of the engine, i have never cleaned the engine, it is just in THAT GREAT OF SHAPE! 

i had 40 really awesome pictures but could only upload 24, so that's why there are only pictures of 3 of 4 tires/wheels, not because 1 is missing or grossly damaged. The car is perfect for a turbo or supercharger!!

Construction of Lexus' first US assembly line underway

Thu, 09 Jan 2014

The ES is Lexus' top-selling sedan, but the Japanese luxury marque has never manufactured it outside of Japan. In fact, Lexus has never made any cars in the United States, one of its largest markets worldwide. But that's about to change.
Yesterday, construction began in Georgetown, Kentucky, on the first Lexus assembly line in America, the first concrete (or steel) step in a $360-million expansion of Toyota's plant in the Bluegrass state that will create 750 new jobs. The expansion was announced last April by chief executive Akio Toyoda at the New York Auto Show.
Once the new assembly line gets online in the fall of next year, Toyota plans on building some 50,000 units of the ES each year. Lexus sold a record 72,581 examples of the ES in the United States last year - 30 percent more than the previous year - so Lexus will either have to import some more from overseas or leave some buyers disappointed.

'Next Lexus F' teased ahead of Detroit debut

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

We've got absolutely zero actual information from the automaker on what its "Next Lexus F" will be, other than what was just released today in this brief press release and lone teaser image, but our best guess is that it's the next-generation IS-F sedan. The timing would make sense, considering that the latest IS just hit the market earlier this year as a 2014 model.
Since we know so little, we'll just share some of the exuberant marketing speak contained in the press release for your reading pleasure:
Designed from the asphalt up, to strike at the heart, the newest Lexus F model will debut at the January 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

2014 Lexus GS gets eight-speed auto, other enhancements

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

The Lexus GS was totally redesigned for the 2013 model year, but Lexus is already tweaking its midsize luxury sedan. While a handful of small changes are being made, the big news for the 2014 model year is that rear-wheel-drive GS350 models will be getting a new eight-speed automatic transmission for improved fuel economy and performance.
Official EPA estimates have yet to be released, but Lexus expects this new transmission to return 19 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway - an improvement of 1 mpg highway. The GS450h still uses a continuously variable transmission, but Lexus says that it has been optimized to mimic the shift points of an eight-speed automatic. The final powertrain change made to the 2014 Lexus GS include tweaks to the GS350's engine intake and exhaust systems, which should help give the sedan a sportier feel.
Inside, Lexus has added Siri Eyes Free inside both the GS350 and GS450h, which allows drivers to use their iPhone's Siri voice assistant simply by pushing a button on the steering wheel. Other changes include a new full-color head-up display, and an available power trunk opener. A new Luxury Package adds LED fog lights, 18-inch "superchrome" wheels on the GS350 and 18-inch graphite-finish wheels on the GS450h. Interesting, the optional Lexus Night View system has been dropped.
