2013 Lexus ES 300h HYBRID – ULTRA LOW MILES
Only 22,500 miles, ALMOST LIKE NEW CONDITION. WHY BUY THIS MODEL…. The proven hybrid drivetrain delivers exceptional gas mileage, has more than adequate power, saves wear and tear on brakes and has proven itself even more reliable than its gas-powered cousins. Hybrids are the perfect in-between car before we all drive electrics. No plugging it in; you fill it up with gas like any other car but get WAY better gas mileage. WHY THIS PARTICULAR CAR…. I am the second owner of this exceptional example which has seen very little use. I very recently purchased it from my local Lexus dealer as a Lexus certified car. It has a gorgeous color combination and lots of options for its year including heated/cooled seats, blind-spot monitoring, back-up camera, parking sensors, rain-sensing wipers, voice-controlled navigation and Bluetooth phone, rear window shade and all the other basic Lexus options like cruise control, etc. If you’ve never driven a hybrid you will be amazed. It drives perfectly normally, and has plenty of punch. It has an ‘ECO’ button for better mpg that I never use; I drive with the AC on and don’t pay any mind to maximizing mpg but I’m still getting 31 mpg in non-highway driving, and see between 42-46 mpg on the highway; in a FULL-SIZED Lexus sedan! BTW, I think their 40 mpg claim for "city" driving is achievable using their "ECO" driving mode and feathering the gas pedal, neither of which I do!
The car originally first went into service on April 18, 2013. The hybrid battery systems back then had an eight-year/10k mile warranty, so there is about eight months left on that. That"s why I clicked the "warranty" box in this ad. Beyond the hybrid warranty though, their are no other warranties expressed or implied. In fact, and sadly, the Lexus Certification is non-transferable so that"s kind of a bummer. Still, it says something about this particular car that the dealership and Lexus were willing to "certify" it. I suppose that"s because it was bought new there and serviced there for its entire eight year life before I bought it, and I"ve only continued that in my short time with it. Speaking of the hybrid battery systems in these cars, Toyota recently increased the warranty on their new cars to ten-years/150k miles for what is essentially the same system, following years of accumulated field data that showed these systems have well exceeded their originally warranted lifespans. In fact, many Uber drivers have gotten to well beyond 200k miles in their Prius cars, which use the exact same technology. I"m not making any promises, but I don"t think anyone has to worry about the system in this particular car which has seen under 23k miles of use. It"s also worth mentioning another bonus these cars offer beyond stellar gas mileage. Under normal driving conditions (i.e.; non-emergency) the electric drive motor provides 90% of the braking force to slow the car. You can drive so that the mechanical friction brakes only come into play in about the last fifteen feet of travel that bring the car to a complete stop. Consequently, Lexus service managers report that these cars often don"t need brake pads or rotors until they reach 90k+ miles! Up until then its routine oil, filter and tire rotations. NO CARS cost less to operate and maintain than Toyota products, and the hybrids are no exception! See this article for a comparison. . https:/ www.yourmechanic.com/article/the-most-and-least-expensive-cars-to-maintain-by-maddy-martin So then why am I selling it so soon after buying? Well my wife very recently decided to join the herd and bought a beautiful leftover 2019 Inifiniti AWD QX50 SUV, which brought us up to four vehicles with only a two-car garage. I"ve since sold two of those cars, both of which had AWD. Since I no longer have my trusted old Mountaineer sitting up on the curb for bad weather days, I want my own car to also have AWD. These Lexus hybrids are FWD. Now then some (many?) would argue that AWD is unnecessary in SouthEastern PA, and that a set of snow tires on their own rims is all I need. But AWD cars is pretty much all we"ve had for nearly twenty years now and well, it"s my (perhaps irrational) comfort zone. Trust me, if we still had the Mountaineer I wouldn"t even think of selling this gorgeous car! ! Lexus had redesigned their ES models for 2013 and they hit it out of the park! The cars ride like a Lexus but handle more like a BMW, of which I have owned five. And their reliability has so far equaled, and maybe has even bettered, Lexus" regular gas cars. Driving a comfortable, competent, mid-sized Lexus with a full-sized interior (the back seat is almost limousine-like) that gets 40 mpg is like some sort of dream. I"m sure I"ll soon regret having sold this "needle-in-a-stack-of-needles" car. Where else are you going to find a Lexus in near-new condition, with exceptionally low miles, that gets 40 mpg, for my reserve price? ? Lastly, I have a loan on this car. My Credit Union does NOT normally keep the physical title in their possession (do not ask me why! ). They have "ordered it" so that it should be here this first week of September at my local branch. The only way I believe we can effect an immediate ownership transfer is if the buyer shows up with CASH. Then we can go to the bank, the loan can be paid off on the spot without having to wait for a check to clear, and the title transfer can happen immediately. You see, there is no such thing anymore as a "bank check" or "certified check" that is "as good as cash". There"s been too much fraud with all that and so now even those need several days to "clear". It"s a real bummer all-around but if you choose to use some form of a check then we will have to wait several days for it to clear before the title transfer can happen.
Also, if you wish to use PayPal to pay the full amount (say you choose the "buy-it-now" option), then you are also responsible for paying PayPal"s transaction fee/percentage, whatever that might be on an this amount (it"s 3% on the deposit, which I will accept for that amount only).
