I have the 2003 LX in my avatar. 129,000 miles. New Mexico truck so it's rust free. Great shape with no issues. $15,500 buys it. I'm in Des Moines IA just up I 35 a bit from you. 515-707-4040 if you have questions and are serious.
We here at MUD are kinda psycho about rust. We we say rust free , we mean not a speck of rust. Most of the rest of the world has a much higher tolerence for rust. In my experience, most used car dealers and even private owners think no rust means no visible rust holes in the body you can...
Thank you! It does have the CD changer in the center console that works. No other media ports I am aware of. Sunroof works great , new radio antenna works great and goes up and down, all power accessories like windows, mirrors , power quarter glass are all 100% functional. Stereo sounds good.
I have a 2003 with 129,000 mikes, 100% rust free from New Mexico, Lexus dealer serviced including TB,WP, etc. for sale right now in the for sale section. $15,500. 2 owners
I don't mind the color, my neighbor has one just like that and it's grown on me. It's kinda cool.
It appears that the RF fender has a dent in it, but it could be just a reflection. Seems minimal rust, but check behind the rear mudflaps under the cladding for rotten sheet metal.
My 2003 spent it's entire like in New Mexico so it is rust free. The pictures the OP provided appear to be very minimal rust and well within the acceptable range for a northern cruiser.
The only issues I've heard of when switching is going with a High Mileage syn, then switching back to regular syn and having leaks.
HM oils condition and swell oil seals which if not needed, will cause leaks.
My experience with my stock 03 on premium non ethanol fuel: range of 360 miles per tank in mixed driving - around 390 per tank on a road trip. I do drive very cautiously and try to conserve fuel but not obsessive about it.
