I’m replying now that the auction is over. I asked for a 20K reserve, the rig sold for 25,750

@TheLCProject took your advice and my rig just went live!! There was quite a waitlist to go live, but the day has finally come! Anyone interested please don’t hesitate to reach out. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1996-lexus-lx450-16/

I just took issue with the fact that they danced around denying my listing due to my preference of wanting a reserve. Just come out and say it front the jump. You’re 100% right and while I’ve done more research, I think going full tilt with no reserve is probably the best bet.

So I heard back from BaT, the first email they sent me denying was based on the fact that I wanted to protect myself with a reserve. They are looking for more sellers willing to go no reserve at this time with 80’s series they said.

They just did the same for me and my 96 LX450 with 166K miles, when they just had one on there the month prior that didn’t hold a candle to mine at 211K and got bid to 23k 🧐

Couldn’t agree more! Thankfully our family vacations on the central coast every July, so we’re going to schedule an annual preemptive inspection to make sure everything is as it should be!

Alright folks, I got her back in my possession! She’s ready!!!

I absolutely will send some over, as soon as it’s back from the upholster. I immediately took it to him to get the front seats and center console replaced.

Update for everyone! I picked up the rig today and she looked amazing! The drive home from Cayucos to Bakersfield was legit and I have full confidence that Mike and his team DIALED ME BACK IN. So pumped! Thanks everyone for your tips and your guidance!

Thank you very much for the kind words! I know absolutely nothing mechanically when it comes to vehicles, so I really love to lean on the pro’s that are members of well recognized forums like this one. And it’s funny you say that about my daughter!!! We are gonna have so much fun and I was...

He’s has been nothing short of amazing in his customer service and transparency with his explanations and recommendations. Especially as I am in my infancy knowledge stages of being an 80 series owner!

Sorry I didn’t update! My rig is with mike and he is going to dial everything in for me! Full gasket job along with timing belt timing change job etc etc etc. he told me that my rig will be ready for another 200K easy after he’s done with it!

The suspense is killing me! Is the vehicle back in your possession? Any photos?

Update for everyone! Mike over at Nelson’s garage in Cayucos CA has gotten the chance to do diagnostics. Here’s what he told me “Edwards, I got to checking it out more thoroughly, and found the head gasket is blown on the truck. It not only is intermixing oil with the coolant but also has...
