Moving out of state, so need to sell one of my vehicles.  I bought this car one year ago, from a priest in Detroit.  The car had 132k miles when I purchased it, and I have driven it extensively over the past year.  Within the past year, I have replaced the timing belt, water pump, serpentine belt, etc.  The original wheels were pretty nasty, so I replaced those as well.  I have put 25K miles on this car in the past year, and it has given me zero problems - all miles over the past year are from driving extensively between Indiana and Michigan, so almost all highway miles.  It runs like a champ, and rides incredible.  It's the most comfortable car I have owned, by far.  


There are a few issues:
1.  There are a few scrapes on the front/rear bumper, but nothing extraordinary for a 15 year old car - I have tried to show those in the photos
2.  The check engine light is on - I ran the code and it is an O2 sensor, which is pretty common on this car.  I have not replaced it yet.
3.  Small exhaust leak, which was there when I purchased the car.  I use this car for long road trips, and it didn't bother me, so I have no had it fixed.

Please feel free to ask any question, or for specific pictures, and I will accommodate as quickly as possible.  If you prefer to discuss over the phone, please message me and I will give you a contact phone number.

Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs, but I will assist any way I can.

Lexus GS F points its gaping grille at the BMW M5

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

A mere trio of weeks after the latest report in the slow-moving Lexus GS F rumor cycle, we have a brand new batch of spy photos of the BMW M5-fighting sedan. Looking more and more production ready - notice the more finished exhausts compared to our last round of photos - the GS F can be seen poking around what we imagine is Germany.
If the RC and RC F Coupes are any indication, it looks like Lexus will start fitting its high-performance models with a new, single-frame version of the spindle grille while a dual-frame grille will be reserved for lesser trims. Backing up that suspicion is the new single-frame grille found on this prototype, marking the first time the suspected F line styling piece has been seen on a GS F prototype.
The aforementioned staggered quad exhausts look good on the GS' rear end, while a none-too-subtle rear spoiler ups the rear's visual flair. The low-profile rubber and the multi-spoke, black wheels are nice touches that work well with the front fascia features, in addition to the new, camo'd grille and substantial brake cooling ducts.

Lexus IS, new and old, and LFA to make splash at SEMA

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Lexus has announced its Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show cars: a group of eight Lexus IS sedans spanning all three generations, and a 2012 LFA supercar. One of the show cars, a custom 2014 Lexus IS 350 F Sport, is a creation penned by IS fan Rob Evans, the winner of a contest to design a Lexus SEMA show car.
The standouts in the group of Lexus IS show cars, in no particular order, are a 700-horsepower 2014 Lexus IS 340 (it has a heavily modified Toyota Supra inline six swapped in, which is stroked out to 3.4 liters, hence the nomenclature change) by Philip Case and a supercharged 2004 Lexus IS 300 by Maricar Cortez. Both cars prove that oldies can be goodies - the venerable Supra 2JZTE engine, which ceased production over a decade ago, lives on in a 2014 platform, and the 2004 IS 300 gets a supercharger and remains relevant through the use of electronics, such as a back-up radar sensor, upgraded headlights and more.
Of course, the LFA by Guy S. De Alwis will be a stand out on its own, but unfortunately Lexus only provided us with a couple pictures that don't do it justice. We'll have to take a closer look at it on the show floor. Same goes for the IS penned by contest-winner Rob Evans, of which only a rendering was provided.
