Traded-in for a 2001 IS300
Bought a nicely used IS300. 160k miles, but in well-maintained and mint condition. Only 5k bucks (canadian), or 3500 U.S.). It's lowered on coil-overs, has cold air intake, Aftermarket stereo with GPS/ hands-free/Bluetooth, etc. LED conversion, exhaust, and a few other tidbits. It's worthy to note that even after 15 years and so many miles, the car is still tight and all the interior parts are in beautiful shape....no wear and tear on the upholstery or panels... Testament to Lexus quality and how it bodes for your LS's down the road. AND because if there's no pics "it never happened", here a few exterior pics:

Nice pick up! I've been looking for a Lexus daily myself... This one looks in really good condition and well taken care of...
Are those wheels Ordens? I can't really tell from those pictures.

Good deal and a nice clean IS. I like the rims.

For $3,500 USD it looks like a great daily beater... and those engines can last another 100K past the current mileage... but I doubt anyone would trade a 2012 LS on it
Not buying it either!

LOL....so..... 50/50 on fooling you guys.
This acquisition is my son's "new" car. We are now a complete Lexus family. An LS, a CT200 and now this.
Turns out the car is not completely without an issue or two. AC doesn't seem to be working and there's an SES code for the catalytic converter. We no longer have emissions testing, so no big deal for now. But the AC is kind of a bummer.

You try the freon recharge kits? I see those TV commercials a lot and they're cheap enough that it might be worth trying, even if it's something else (like the compressor).

Well congrats to your son and I wish him good luck with his new car.

Yes...that's my first step. I have a kit already, but it appears to have a different fitting than the one on the car.
