And it's posted on cars.com again...

He sent me a screenshot of this conversation claiming it was the person in MI for some reason when I was talking to him to try make it seem more legit I guess?

Pretty sure this guy is a scammer. I was talking to him on FB marketplace trying to set up an in person meeting in IL but someone from MI was apparently buying it. That became a no show and when I couldnt meet him at the exact time initially but then figured out I could make it, he said he was...

Thanks for the update. This is interesting as the 2013 land cruiser I was looking at in Chicagoland with 184k miles was from LUX Motors as well and it was in amazing condition for the mileage. I was wondering if this one at Autocasa in Dallas may have been in the same level of condition since...

Some credit unions have some decent rate options, even for 10+ year old cars if you have good credit. That is the only reason I am even considering these older options in this insane market. Maybe I can just steal one like this listing 🤣

As much as I would like to be able to consider this option, it would require a much bigger car budget. I am in your warranty camp, I have probably been able to use a warranty 5 times or less in the 36ish years I have owned cars/trucks. Another decision factor is around how much to spend on...

I talk to my 84 year old dad in North Dakota and bring up that during my search I am asking for pictures of undercarriage rust on LCs/LXs. He has bought many cars and trucks in his life and said he has never heard anyone talk about rust the way I have with these trucks. Sometimes it makes them...

I have been looking at LCs and LXs since the start of the year. I had test drove a 2013 with 184k miles on it many times and it sold when I was hesitant due to high mileage. It sold for $29,500. It was a rust belt with mostly surface rust. Since then I have been eyeing lower mileage due to...

As an FYI, I was recently considering two private seller LX570s but unable to see them before they sold. A 2013 with 181k miles in WI went for $23,500 and a 2014 in IA with 164k miles went for $25k. A bit frustrated I didn't get a chance to meet up to see either before they sold.

I have been watching this one too from IL.. they have told.me they would send me undercarriage pictures and a carfax multiple times since February. I have talked to multiple people there as well saying they would and nothing was sent to me and no return calls after they said they would call. I...

Much more than $30k and under 😀 It is a nice looking truck though.

Actually, the Grand Highlander seems like it could be the perfect size 3 row but the price range is way beyond the $30k and under I am considering. I just tossed the Telluride out as an example of a 3 row suv that would include a warranty but be far more expensive than the LX/LCs. I have never...

This is a really helpful discussion for someone trying to decide if a LC/LX is the right purchase for their particular situation. I read lots of comments about 200 lc/lx maintenance around 100k+ miles in this thread that I need to balance vs buying something newer with a warranty and...

I have been a bit locked in the 2013-2015 in both LC/LX in my searches. Mostly looking at Black/Black but I like the Green that was up for sale here recently too. There are quite a few at the moment but I need to be willing to risk more cashola if I want to get in the lower mile club. This...

I wouldn't expect them to so they are not on my list. :) Its why I am looking at LC/LX. I didn't really even know much about buying any cars/trucks with high mileage until a couple friends ended up with LCs and LXs. I don't know that there are any other vehicles I would even consider with...
