Hi guys... I found a local 1996 Lexus LX450 for sale at a local dealer. Its a beautiful SUV - black w/tan leather- very good appearance wise - undercarriage like new - no rust or no dirt. Its high mileage however @ 222K, but hopefully the advantage of this is a lower price.
If I was guessing, I would say I could probably get this SUV for $6000 - $7000 TOPS! Does even this seem like too much with this mileage? I have checked the value guides - KBB is $7200 on this SUV.
I have been heavily researching the 1991-92 Land Cruisers, as thats what I have been really looking for, but do not know much about the 96-97 models and if the LX has any additional problems that the LC does not. I am guessing no, since they are the same mechanically.
One thing that bothers me is that I have seen more complaints about blown head gaskets on the 95-97 models than I would like to see. I do not want to end up with a vehicle with a reputation of HG problems. Is it really that widespread of a problem?
Thanks for any tips/advice in advance!
