just south of Jacksonville.

So surprised there isn't much interest in this car. It has really low miles compared to most and minimal rust underneath. Biggest issue at this point is a non working sunroof and missing sprayers for the windshield. AHC works great, all buttons working, motor feels strong.. Brand new tires and...

Shortly after buying it I decided to replace the spark plugs and coil pack. I bought off-brand and I think I tanked the motor. About 1 month later It failed. "removed intake, found pieces of valve in bottom of intake port"

UPDATE - ASKING $13,000 OBO.. A lot of car for the money!

Bought the replacement motor from aanda_autoandtruck Here is a similar motor like the one I bought - Pardon Our Interruption... - https://www.ebay.com/itm/297741152210?fits=Model%3ALX470%7CMake%3ALexus&_skw=lexus+lx470&itmmeta=01K9TKAY38YTVY8AXQA32A022H&hash=item4552c16fd2:g:qnoAAOSw~y9ZCi-V...

I suppose after the engine swap, the biggest concern will be electrical issues, which I've been tackling since I bought it (dash, doors, radio, etc.) maybe suspension.. i know one of the back shocks is leaking.. IDK, this is supposed to be for my daughter.. I have a white 2000 LX470 also that...

not sure I understand the question but basically nothing happened at the auction. After doing all the paperwork and getting the keys, the guy I was interacting with nonchalant was like "we've had this car for 4 years on our lot. The original owner was trying to get it back in a legal battle" I...

LOL, you're depressing me. I was at a point of no return the moment I bought the replacement motor. Before that, I was in for around 12-13K and I could have recouped 2400 of it by pulling out the stereo and tires. As-is blown motor LX I would have been lucky to get 3K for it, so 7k in the...
