That is an interesting coincidence! Thanks for the look and the compliments! I can see the passion that the LC/LX community has for these vehicles and we know that this vehicle will be in the hands of someone that will fully appreciate it. Have a good one!
Hi everyone - thanks again for all of your assistance a few months ago! The decision was made to put this vehicle up on Cars and Bids - the auction is live as of a few hours ago is anyone may be interested: 1997 Lexus LX 450 - 1-Family-Owned, 4WD, Locking Center Differential, Unmodified -...
So a new development here. The diagnosis code for the SRS/airbag is "code 31 air bag control unit assembly." So how does this affect what y'all think of the vehicle? Is this something that I should fixed (replace the control unit - per the shop, Lexus has this part in-stock), or is this...
Great ideas - "cash is king," and it would be great if I can have a transaction like that. The bank seems to be a really good idea since you can deposit it directly into your account when you receive payment, and any counterfeit checks would also be occurring there at the time of deposit I...
Yes, I have heard of the payment dispute thing - basically gaming the system that favors the buyer. This is a good reminder that it's a real thing. Good tips on the remote purchase situation as well. And it's good to know that there is a community here on MUD that is looking out for others...
So interesting - will have to look up what common scams there are with people wanting vehicles shipped to them. I assume it has something to do with some of the funds not coming through or something like that, yet the vehicle is shipped off? Or somehow the funds are "recalled." Will...
That makes a lot of sense because it's reasonable. Auctioning off the vehicle on a platform with its fees and the buyer arranging transport I would think also yields about the same likely results for both the seller and the buyer. Thanks for weighing in - greatly appreciated!
Oh, that may be a good market as well. I guess its all about where the buyers are. So let me ask this - if one were to list it for sale in say Colo, or Wash/Ore/NorCal but the vehicle is located in Texas, would we as the seller pay for the transport to the buyer so that it's a "local...
This is some interesting history/insight on these 80 series. And dealerships now play the "Protection Package" game as a way to extract a few thousand more on top of MSRP. Nitro in tires for $125, etching for $249, door edge guards for $198, tint for $300 (just the front door windows), a $75...
Thanks for the recommendations on the auction sites. And overall I think this would be a good one to build upon. Will be looking into those options. Again, thanks!
