Clean AZ frame, motor swap at 300k miles, needs cooling fan + radiator
Selling my 2005 Lexus GX470, AS-IS. The vehicle has a clean title but needs a new cooling fan & radiator and must be towed. The chassis has 326k miles (26k in PA, the rest in AZ), but the bones of the vehicle are solid and it features major recent component upgrades, including a donor motor with 120k miles installed when the chassis was at 300k.
The GOOD:
- Spent its life in Cave Creek, AZ until being trailered to PA in Spring 2022. Underbody has minor surface scale from the past few winters, but the frame rails are solid with no rot.
- Documented motor swap completed at 300k miles with a 120k donor motor. The engine currently has a total of ~146k miles on the block. New OEM starter, timing belt, and water pump were installed during the swap in 2021 (receipt in hand).
- Brand new exhaust system installed in 2024 (receipt in hand).
- 4 BFGoodrich All-Terrain K02s + matching spare installed in 2021 (receipt in hand). Great tread left.
- Windshield replaced with factory rain-sensor glass in 2023 (receipt in hand).
THE NOT SO GOOD:
- The mechanical cooling fan recently blew, which caused a leak in the radiator. Must be towed or trailered.
- It was throwing code P2445 for the air injection pump, so I installed a Hewitt-Tech bypass loop.
- The factory radio/audio is non-functional.
- The driver’s leather seat and center armrest have tears (see photos)
- A few scratches on the body but otherwise in sound condition
- The plastic engine beauty cover is cracked (not included in photos)
All receipts for repairs go to the buyer. Clean title in hand. Cash only, located in Allentown, PA.
