Lexus is Toyota's luxury brand, and our catalogue focuses above all on its performance line and big saloons. The core is the F family with the naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 (the 2UR-GSE): the IS F sedan, the RC F coupe and the GS F sedan. Beside them sit the classic IS 300 and IS 350, the two-seat SC 430 coupe-convertible with its folding hardtop, and the grand-touring LC 500 with the same atmospheric V8. The root of the brand's prestige is the LS 400 and LS 460 saloons: quiet, precisely built and remarkably durable. The crown is the LFA, a supercar with a 4.8-litre V10, built in a limited run of 500 cars. We also source the RX SUV, popular and dependable.
At USS Tokyo and HAA Kobe Lexus surfaces steadily, since this is the brand's home market. F-family and LS cars come through first-hand, often serviced exclusively within the authorised network, with low mileage and complete paperwork. The Japanese Lexus owner prizes immaculate condition, so grade 4.5 and above are not unusual here. The LFA reaches auction exceptionally, a few times a year across the whole market, and always draws keen interest. Some examples are LHD, so-called original export spec, and for clients wanting left-hand drive we source those where available.
What we do exceptionally well. Our inspector visits every Lexus we seriously bid on. We verify the completeness of the Lexus dealer service history, original paint with a coating-thickness gauge, and the condition of the 2UR-GSE and 1UZ/3UZ (LS) engines. On the sheet we look for accident repairs, replaced components and track wear. On the LFA we additionally confirm serial numbers and completeness, since they determine collector value. Cars sourced from Japan are usually in better shape than their European counterparts: lower mileage, garaged, and a meticulous service culture.
