Here are the details. I am the original owner. Bought new in July of 2000 from Santa Monica Lexus, California. This car has 420,000 miles! That's right 420,000 miles and she still runs like a top. Original motor and transmission. Neither has been rebuilt. I have maintained this vehicle. Tires, brakes, timing belts, tune ups etc. It is currently registered until 2/14. It does not pass Texas State inspection due to the Catalytic Converters finally giving out. If you replace them yourself it will run you around $500. Take it in to get done the cost is around $1,500. It will need a paint job. The clear coat is shot. The power steering pump needs repair - it has a slight leak. Approximate cost to fix $350.00. There are two of the power door locks that don't operate off the key fob. But the car will lock - just manually on those doors. And the radio dial is not readable. These were an LED display (state of the art in it's day) but they all gave out. Radio works. 6 CD changer in glove box factory installed by LEXUS. New Bridgestone tires as of December 2011. They have about 20-30,000 more miles left. Brakes were recently done. No rips or tears in the interior which is black perforated leather. A/C Blows cold. The battery (Interstate) was installed last July.
This has been a stellar car but it's time to let her go. So if you're handy you'll get a great car. Or part it out.
In all this time it has NEVER been hit or in an accident. All straight metal. The bumpers have scrapes on them, but this is just minor considering this car has been on the road for almost 13 years.
This car still has a lot of life and will run for at least another 100,000 miles

Judge halts Toyota unintended acceleration cases, triggers time for settlement negotiations
Mon, 16 Dec 2013So 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.
Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
Toyota fills in details about its future design direction and global platform
Fri, 25 Oct 2013
"In the future, out of 100 customers, we want to excite ten of them instead of not offending all 100."
Almost all of the details about the Toyota New Group Architecture (TNGA) strategy have come out since the initiative was first reported on in March of this year, but Autoblog did learn a few new things about it on a recent trip to Japan. Probably the second-most important detail is that each new segment platform will be based around a common hip point to create an "optimal driving position architecture."
