I have owned this car since January 2008. It has been an excellent automobile and it still runs flawlessly. I have driven it over 100,000 and it has received the best of care. I have used solely Mobil one synthetic oil and it gets changed every 6000 miles. I replaced the other fluids such as brake fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid and coolant every 25,000 miles. Most recently I replaced my second timing belt a couple of months ago along with a new set of 100,000 miles spark plugs, new water pump of course and all fluids again. Six months ago, one of the air shocks gave out. I retrofitted all four wheels with Strut Master conventional shocks and the ride is as good as before, without the well known issues of air suspension.
The interior has also received great care. The leather seats are in incredible condition, considering the age of the car. I personally attended to them at least twice a year with Leather CPR with great results. The back seat look brand new and all the luxury package goodies still work. The seats up front are pristine, and as comfortable as ever. I had the carpet professionally cleaned last week and it looks great. I bought Lexus mats back in 2008 and also installed plastic mats over them. They are still brand new!!
The Yokohama tires are less than two years old and in great condition. The custom wheels are Lexus design and I still have the four original wheels that came with the car. I will include that in the sale of the car.
As I said earlier this car runs so well and still very quiet. The soft closing doors is really cool too! The back door has privacy screens on both windows and both doors and the rear shade is electrically controlled and still works just fine. The cooling and heating seats up front are sinful and I will miss their comfort.
A couple of things to mention: The remote release for the trunk does not work. The motor needs to be replaced. However, the key works just fine to open the trunk the old fashioned way. The paint is in excellent condition all the way around the car, no noticeable dings either. The top of the front bumper is fading a bit. The headlights are a bit scratched and have been polished once already. They may not look very clear but this car lighting at night is the best I have ever seen.
All switches work except for the two switches associated with the previous air ride system which has been disabled when we install the new struts from Strut Masters.
If you have any questions, feel free to call me directly. Jean-Pierre 480-652-1600. Serious inquiries only. This is a great car with lots of miles left in it .

Toyota wants improved crash scores with midcycle facelifts
Thu, 29 Aug 2013The performances of some Toyotas in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) regimen of crash tests leave something to be desired. Consider the small overlap frontal crash test: only six Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles have undergone the new test, yet all but one of them received a poor rating. Osama Nagata, CEO of Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America Inc., says midcycle vehicle updates are in the works to address the safety issues brought to light by the IIHS test, Automotive News reports. He confirmed that the RAV4 is getting safety updates following its crash test performance last month, but he didn't name any other models.
All three Toyotas that were tested - 2013 RAV4, 2012-2013 Prius V, 2012-2013 Camry - received poor ratings. The 2007-2012 Lexus ES 350 and 2006-2013 IS 250/350 also received poor ratings. The only other Toyota Motor Corp. vehicle to score better than poor is the 2014 Scion TC. It received an acceptable rating in the small overlap frontal crash test and is the only recent vehicle in Toyota's line-up to get the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating.
The small overlap front crash test measures the safety of a car when its front left corner is strikes an object during an accident, bypassing traditional crumple zones, which deform in a way to protect passengers. In 2009, automakers were alerted to the forthcoming addition of the test, which was first implemented last year, IIHS spokesman Russ Rader says. They responded with differing intensity, he says, pointing out that Subaru and Honda started incorporating design changes early on so their cars would perform well in the tests.

Lexus GX, Toyota Land Cruiser Prado facelifts leaked
Thu, 22 Aug 2013The Lexus GX and the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, which isn't sold in the US, have gone without visual updates since the current generation was launched in 2009. But what appear to be patent filing sketches and pictures of the sibling sports utility vehicles' mid-cycle updates have been leaked on a Russian Land Cruiser Club forum.
Major changes to the GX's front end will be made to incorporate Lexus' signature grille. Gone are the awkwardly shaped headlamps and the soft-looking triple-slat grille. The sketch shows the Lexus with a new bumper, lower-profile headlights and a more aggressive, angular grille with one more slat and a gaping lower air-intake opening. The vehicle's profile looks unchanged, but the rear bumper will be reshaped slightly to fit new, better-integrated horizontal reflectors.
The Toyota gets a handful of styling updates as well, including a new front bumper with higher-profile headlamps that look a bit out of place to us. The Prado's profile also looks unchanged, but the rear end gets restyled taillights and a reshaped license-plate enclosure.
