SC430

This is my 2002 Lexus SC430 that I have owned for nearly 4 years. I believe it has all the options available: leather, touch-screen navigation, Mark Levinson 9-speaker sound system, rear spoiler, heated seats with memory, CD changer, HomeLink, etc. You can get the full list of equipment here under 'Specifications'. The color is called 'Absolutely Red', and it is absolutely the color to have. The red and tan color combo with the maple wood is just killer. The wood is real bird's-eye maple, no plastic imitations here. It has 18" Sporza D5 chrome wheels replacing those ugly stock things.

The tires and rear brakes are nearly new, less than 2,000 miles. Fresh oil change and NH state inspection in September. The retractable hardtop works flawlessly, as do all other creature comforts, no excuses. It has been stored indoors in winters. Complete with owner's manuals, full factory service manuals, nav DVD, socket for wheel locks, 2 keys with remote, and service records during my ownership.

I will also include a space-saver spare tire. The SC430 was shipped from the factory with no spare because it had run-flat tires. I don't like run-flats, so it now has regular 245/40R18 tires. I bought a spare off eBay, just in case. You can also get a kit from Lexus (or eBay) that has all the components to make this fit nicely in the trunk, but I didn't bother. The Lexus tools are also included.

This has a rebuilt title. It was originally a Florida car, and was involved in an accident there in 2008. It was purchased from the insurance company and professionally repaired in Illinois. I do not have pictures before repair or know exactly what happened; I just know it was in the front. When I purchased it in 2009, I had it inspected by Lexus of Northborough, MA, and they said all work had been done correctly and there was no suspension or frame damage. It now has 58,000 miles on it, and I have had -zero- problems with it beyond regular maintenance. This is a REBUILT title, not a SALVAGE title - big difference, no hassles with registration or insurance. Unless you are looking to buy a car that is still under warranty, this should be a non-issue, but please check with your own DMV to be sure. The dealer just completed an airbag recall that came out in September - full service, full tank of gas, and a car wash, all no charge. I also own an Acura RL and a Mercedes SL55 AMG, and in my experience, Lexus service is by far the best. This is an excellent chance to get an absolutely great deal on a great car.
Lexus style with Toyota reliability.
There are a couple of issues. Nothing awful, but just so you know. The driver's seat has a scratch in the bottom leather. Not too bad, looks like maybe someone had a screwdriver in their pocket. See photo. The nose has many stone chips from lots of highway driving. Again, see photos. This is not a new car, so please don't expect it to be. But even with the stone chips and some very small nicks, the paint is gorgeous. The interior shows some age in the driver leather, but is overall very nice. I don't think the rear seat has ever been used.

Please review all pictures below and call or e-mail me with questions. NOTE: the black thing with a wire on the top right corner of the windshield is an antenna for my portable satellite radio. The antenna is magnetic and will be removed prior to sale.

If you want to talk, contact Dennis @ 603-249-6 oh 7 one. I'm in Spofford, NH, just outside Keene, less than 2 hours from Boston or Hartford. I am not a dealer, no fees, no taxes, no games. Title in hand - please know what a rebuilt title means. Inspections welcome BEFORE bidding. It may get a few more miles on it before I let it go. I will assist in any way I can in shipping, but shipping expenses are the responsibility of the buyer. Pickup zip code is 03462. Car does not leave the garage until all payments have cleared. I will need a $500 Paypal deposit within 48 hours, and the balance within 10 days. I recommend bank transfer for the least hassle; I will provide details if you choose this method of payment. Good ol' Ben Franklins also work well. For sale locally, ad may be canceled at any time.

Lexus builds final LFA supercar

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

Lexus has officially built the very last LFA. The 500th Lexus supercar rolled from the company's Motomachi facility on December 14th wearing all of the goodies of the Nürburgring package and white paint. Toyota's Lexus division started production on the car exactly two years ago on December 15, 2010 and built just one unit per working day. A total of 170 workers were hand-picked to handle parts manufacturing, assembly and painting for the LFA project. While Lexus has made it clear it will produce no more LFA models, lessons gleaned from the vehicle's construction may translate into other future products.
Specifically, Toyota says it may employ its carbon fiber reinforced plastic experience moving forward. As you may recall, the LFA made extensive use of CFRP and carbon fiber, and Lexus even created a special rotary loom to stitch together the supercar's A-pillars. Take a look at the brief press release on the last LFA below.

Bugatti Veyron, Lexus LFA, McLaren MP4-12C and Lambo Aventador in 1/4-mile shootout... who wins?

Thu, 17 May 2012

Automobile Magazine scribe Jason Cammisa was sent into the desert to referee four carbon-fiber-bodied wild animals fighting it out over the quarter mile: the V8 McLaren MP4-12C, the V10 Lexus LFA, the V12 Lamborghini Aventador and the W16 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport. It's a tough job, innit?
The Head 2 Head race was run elimination style, with the winner of each two-up challenge facing the next devil up the totem pole. Although you might not have any doubts about the eventual victor, how each of these supercars fared is good watching. See all the screaming for yourself in the video below.

Lexus' Detroit reveal is RC F, will have 460-hp V8

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Yesterday, we brought you the image above, sent out by Lexus, teasing its Detroit Auto Show reveal. At the time, all we knew about the car was that it's a coupe, and falls into the automaker's F performance line. But now, some more details have leaked.
An anonymous tipster passed us a link to this website, which Lexus is using to invite folks to an event at the Detroit show where the new RC F coupe will be revealed. But that same tipster also sent us a scan of the mailed-out invitation, shown at right (click the image to enlarge), which clearly states that the RC F will be powered by a 460-horsepower V8. The invite also says Lexus will show its 2015 RC 350 coupe in Detroit, following its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show in November.
We cannot totally verify the authenticity of the scanned invitation, but with a corresponding website live on the web, it all looks pretty legit to us. Stay tuned for more details closer to the RC F's debut in January.
