Vehicle description
Runs and drives great! Will easily make a cross-country road trip.
Legendary 2JZ-GE!
12-disc CD (works great!), tan leather interior, 8-way power adjustable heated seats, power EVERYTHING, comes with 1 key FOB, and the original Lexus key.
The Good: Brand new timing belt and serpentine belt done 2 years ago. Plugs, wires, cap, and rotor done too. Brand new battery as well. New valve cover gaskets done at the same time. Converted to marine deep cycle battery, which lasts forever. Fires right up, every time. Has been stored this past winter. Went out to start it, fired right up. No codes, lights, or problems. Everything on the car works.
Tires are Bridgestone Turanza with about 50% tread left. Brakes are fine, no pulsation, ABS and traction control work perfectly. Transmission was progressively flushed last year. No shifting issues at all. Fluid is nice and red.
The not-so-good: 220K miles but it runs like a swiss watch. Cosmetic items: needs a new driver"s front fender; it"s beyond repair. They can be had for about $100 online. Needs a new trunk lid too. They"re about $125 from Japan. The clear coat could also be re-done at the same time. Then she"d be like new! Also, there"s a bit of a rattle from the exhaust heat shields; they just need to be torn off. No exhaust or oil leaks.
There are numerous little bulbs out on the dash. There"s a bunch behind the dash there that are out. There"s a list of all the bulbs on Lexus forums. Bulbs are cheap, but will probably take a afternoon to get them all.
The bad: The A/C does not work. There"s a leak in the system somewhere. The climate control functions just fine though. The driver"s door is. .loose. It needs a new door hinge on the driver"s side. I have the part from a junkyard, I"ve just never had the time or desire to put it in. The part comes with the car. And that"s not negotiable. Also, the power antenna mast was snapped off before I bought it. I have that part too. The antennae motor works fine. Also, the RR sway bar link needs to be replaced. Comes with the car.
Full disclosure: The vehicle was involved in a front-end accident before I bought it. The driver front was hit pretty good. That"s why the light on the driver"s side looks newer. Was professionally repaired though. New fan and radiator were installed as a result. The vehicle does not have a pull to one side or the other. Alignment was done when I put the new tires on.
