1997 Lexus ES 300 Luxury Sedan, V6, 148k miles.
This is our personal vehicle that was primarily driven by my wife as her daily commute vehicle. The car has 148k miles on it (all actual), and can be inspected by prior appointment. I can be reached at (571) 399-5510 for any questions. It has served us well, and and am sad to see it go. It is a good car, and has very minor issues that are easy fixes, and will continue to serve the new owner well. I don't have the time or patience at present to get the issues fixed, thus selling it AS-IS. The car has had regular tune-ups, had its timing belt changed, brakes changed - basically, we have been particular in maintaining the vehicle and it shows. Some of its known issues are: 1. Loose strut or bushing on front passenger side, which makes a knock noise at times (when car goes over a bump). 2. Front Passenger side window switch is faulty on door, but operate-able from drivers door master window switch. Needs switch changed out only. 3. Check engine light does come on sometimes - had it checked, and it is most likely the front catalytic converter. Light if off at present. 4. Front passenger side turn signal gets loose at times (broken tab). I have been too lazy to fix it or switch out the turn signal. It works fine as-is. 5. Crack on rear drivers side turn signal. It is a cosmetic issue, and turn signal functions perfectly. 6. Side scratches on passenger side (car got side swiped against parking garage pillar) - cosmetic issue, which needs scratch paint touch up. Doors function perfectly. 7. Scratches and paint peeled off on rear bumper and side mirrors. I had touched them up with touch-up paint. Cosmetic issue, as no functionality is affected. 8. The Carfax/AutoCheck shows an odometer discrepancy, which is incorrect. It was a clerical error when the car was registered and I never went back and had the mileage corrected (I had guessed the mileage when registering the car, as the vehicle was in a different state, and I was in a rush to get the vehicle registered). 9. Windscreen has a small crack at the base of the drivers side (see photo). This does not impact the view and the car legally passed inspection in this state every year. In addition, there are 2 small starts which were minor chips that were fixed. They dont impact vision either, and I am only sharing for full disclosure purposes. 10. Minor rust around windscreen (top and drivers side edge). I have tried to fix this, but did a sloppy job. Does not impact functionality. I will give a 15 day warranty on the engine and transmission to put to rest any concerns the buyer may have. I trust this car to drive well and provide many years of great service to its new owner. Please remember that this is a 10+ year old car, and has been driven daily in the city, thus will have scratches and minor issues, but runs beautifully. We have performed regular oil changes, and other servicing. I had all its service records, but put them in some box when we moved, and I cant find them. You are welcome to have the car checked out. Over 80 photos are posted here: link Additionally, I can email the CarFax report to you if you want (it should be available for free on this listing also), but email me if you still want it. Some basic rules for this eBay sale: 1. If you have less than a rating of 10, I WILL delete your bid, unless you have contacted me beforehand and confirmed your contact info and intent to bid on this car. I've been around eBay many years to have experienced the frustrations of non-serious buyers. 2. This is a used car and I have posted more than 80 photos of the car, and have done my best to share all the facts. If you are going to be a super nit-picky buyer, please go to the local Lexus dealership and buy a pre-owned certified vehicle or a new vehicle; your hard earned $$$ will be well spent there. I honestly don't have the time to deal with buyers who are too afraid to buy a good deal on eBay or locally, and I don't have the time or the patience for someone to waste my and your own time. 3. You are welcome to look at the car in person in Arlington VA. I travel extensively for work, and thus you will NEED to work around my schedule, and not the other way around. I will return all calls within a 12 hour window, but don't expect me to answer on the first ring. 4. You are welcome to have the car inspected by a person of your choice at my location. I will entertain it being driven within a 3 mile radius, but no farther, as I don't have the time to baby sit every prospective buyer. The car is listed for sale locally, and I have the right to sell it before this auction ends. Feel free to make an offer on eBay also. 5. Good luck on your vehicle search and purchase! |

Updated Lexus CT200h coming next year, new variants reported
Thu, 10 Oct 2013Lexus 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.
Construction of Lexus' first US assembly line underway
Thu, 09 Jan 2014The 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.
Lexus coupe caught in spy shots actually RC, headed for Tokyo reveal?
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Lexus may have pulled a fast one on us. The car our spy shooters spotted yesterday may not, in fact, be an IS F Coupe as we indicated. Rather, the car shown above may be a new model, dubbed RC, that will arrive at this year's Tokyo Motor Show.
Following a report from Automotive News, the RC is believed to be a pure coupe, rather than a hardtop convertible. This gels with information provided on the IS sedan's launch, when Lexus spokespeople said the IS Convertible would remain on the current platform. With styling based on the LF-CC from the 2012 Paris show, the new car will share a rear-drive platform with the IS and GS sedans.
Power is expected to come from a 3.5-liter V6 that turns out 306 horsepower. That car will likely wear the RC 350 badge. A hybrid model is expected to follow, but in a twist, it won't be coming to the US. The big news, though, is that the RC will spawn an RC F.
