Gasoline

It's 13 years old, but still runs great. Timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, brakes (for rear brakes, calipers too), brake light assemblies replaced recently. Features and issues below:1) New Timing belt, Water pump and Spark plugs (December 2013)2) O2 sensors replaced (March 2013)3) Front brake replaced (rotors and pads), (December 2013)4) Remote starter installed. Great in winter (cost 200 including installation)5) New brake light assembly (right and left), New LED license plate light (blue).6) GPS (Pioneer AVIC D3). Working, but sometimes goes wrong. Radio function has no problem.7) Right side headlight ballast and lamp replaced recently. HID and very bright.8) I have to sell 4 very new snow tires mounted on original wheels. About 600 dollars worth. You need them for FR cars in winter.9) New Tires on New Wheels, purchased in April. About 700 dollars.10) Automatic transmission slightly not smooth from 1st to 2nd and 3rd. But no noise or any other issue. Some people might complain, but if you look for a perfectly smooth transmission for used cars, you should look for a newer economy car, not this car, or you should pay more to get a newer one, I recommend,11) Passenger Seat heater not working. 12) automatic mode of airconditioner somewhat awkward. It's very cold and hot, but you need to switch manually. Maybe the sensor broken.13) no major dents, but many scratches especially underparts. Left side rear bumper slightly distorted. the roof is very clean.. It's 2001 car and 155k miles, so has some issues as almost all cars as old as this one have. But I can say confidently that I did all I could do on this car. I keep all service records since I purchased it. The basic function as a car is no problem so far. I can't guarantee that it will never break down with a year or so like all other private sellers, but if you look for a better car within the same budget, why not trying to find a newer economy car such as Civics and Corollas or any other economy cars? This is a sporty sedan with much better steering and engine power. I am expecting buyers who want sporty cars within limited budget. KBB fair price is around 4000. I prefer written communication first because I am a student from the country where this Lexus was made and people speak English terribly....But I will do my best and be sincere to my prospective buyers.
