I am not sure if I want to part with this car just yet. I just have a few other cars that I want finished first and I would like to see this go to a good home and get the love it deserves. So I figured I would entertain some offers. I will only consider trades with cash on top.

First off...I just got this car a few months back and haven't had the chance to do much to it. So far I have completely stripped the interior out and cleaned it all, cleaned the engine up, put on newish tires, and had the wheels repaired by Wheel Medic. It is currently on mismatched painted stock wheels for the winter.

PROS:
-BC coilovers with around 3k miles on them
-8000k HID's
-18x8.5/9.5 Lowenhart LS1's (made by Work Wheels of Japan) cost around $4k new
-ALL POWER!!! pwr windows, pwr locks, pwr tilt wheel, pwr seats, heated seats, pwr lumbar support, pwr sunroof, keyless, etc etc etc
-189k miles and serviced by lexus till around 170k miles from what i've been told
-NO CEL's

CONS:
-Update: heater core is leaking a little bit. Heat still works good, but I hear it gurgling and smell occasionally. I may just bypass the core for now.
-Radio needs hooked back up
-Passenger window not working
-Small leak somewhere....I think it is the lower pan gasket (common) I bought the sealant already. I just haven't had the chance to get it back on a lift.
-Rip in drivers seat and some minor wear elsewhere
-The lowenharts were repaired by a reputable shop, but being that one of them had a few cracks rather than one it is not going to be perfect and you should still be very careful with potholes.
-Last but not least....it does have some quarter rust on the wheel well. Someone tried to repair it before and the putty is cracking out. The underside and rest of the car are fairly clean other than typical rust on suspension components.

Sooooo with all that being said. I would like to start the price at $4,000 OBO!!!

call or text me at 6one4-8zero4-55nine0

Thanks,
Sean

There was still room to go lower! I do have all of the center caps as well.

Good luck with your sale, but your facts are off. I was the 3rd owner of the car, and I bought it with 160k, and sold it at about 175k to the FOURTH owner. I got the car bone stock, from Akron/Canton Lexus, and put the Lowenharts (BRAND NEW), the Tein Comfort Spec coilovers (paid $400 to EMS them from Japan, as there weren't any in the states...not sure why someone replaced them with BC's, they had 15k on them when I sold the car), and put the Junction Produce stickers on the rear quarter windows. Unless someone has added some since then, there has never been any JP goodies in that car, except for the stickers. When the quarters were rolled, we found that the quarters had been previously redone, and then I had them done cheaply for my friend at the time that I sold it to. Minus the tear in the leather, that car was ALWAYS immaculate in the interior, as well as the engine bay. The exterior was never perfect, but clean. I bought it for $5k at the dealership back in 2005, and I sold it to a buddy back in 2009 when I was in a pinch for $2,500, with the Tein coilovers, the HIDs, and the Lowenharts, who then sold it to another Zilvia member, and I'm guessing you're the most recent. I should have held out since it's going for $4k now lol. I had over $2k in the wheels, and over $1,500 in the coilovers alone.

This car was always maintained, I can't remember when the water pump/timing was done, I think it was 120k? But that car always ran incredibly well, and the calipers were all replaced around 175k, as well as rotors/pads. Ball joints were done around that time as well. I believe it also had a full tranny flush around the same time too.

Good luck with sale, hope that history helps...

IFO 2007 I think

Awesome info. Thanks man...yeah I don't know much about the car or JP stuff to be honest. Im just going off the "facts" I was given. Also im unsure about the mileage/owner situation. I never said I was only the second owner either. Im a car salesman and checked the carfax and called Lexus. It just shows one owner until around 170k if I remember correctly. Then 3 owners since (myself included). That's all I was trying to get at. I've only had this thing for a few months and it doesn't get driven much. I traded my jeep for it thinking I would have time to restore it.

I also don't know what it is worth. Im just judging off of what I've seen on the Lexus/VIP boards, nada, feedback from friends and considering what I have in it as well.

Yes, I am considering them. Prefer one with a little cash on top. Although it isn't necessary. Shoot me some offers!

I need this gone yesterday. I have way too much on my plate with other projects. $2500 without the wheels or $3500 with them! I will consider a partial trade, but nothing that involves just a few hundred bucks.

No, but it came from there and was serviced at Akron/Canton Lexus for most of its life.
