    Pre-Purchase inspection List for 2000-2003 LX/LC 100 series.

    @ton504 unfortunately I don't have an unlimited amount of time to use search and/or fix things, and it seems there is no single place to look up what needs to be checked. Christos list is not comprehensive by any means. And if you look at the shear number of AHC threads started in the last two...

    @Pucker5 The unit I am looking at is a one owner, all maintenance done at dealership and it was sold because things stopped working. The AHC had more than 4k invested in the last 12 months of ownership and it is still in need of repair. People who love these things typically only sell when very...

    Pre-Purchase inspection List for 2000-2003 LX/LC 100 series.

    Dear all, I am looking for your wisdom here. I am about to go check out a 2001 LX 470, and a few other LX/LC units in the 2000-2003 range. It will be a daily driver in the Mountains/country with lots of off road and gravel with many wash outs and rutted roads. If you can tell me what to look...

    So Land Cruisers seem to be 3-5K more than the LX's, and I am going to look at an LX with what appears to be a solid price. And the AHC is not working. Which means I need to swap it out, or get it fixed. @jLB I took care all the maintenance on my whole families fleet of CPO lexus's. You are...

    Yes, I recall seeing cygus badges. The main issues with the 2000-2007 100 series models as I recall: Manifold Cracking, radiator pin hole leaks, many issues with sunroof motors, oxygen sensors gumming up, EGR valves. I am sure there are more and I just don't quite remember everything. The...

    @jLB I read it on here years ago. And then the 2004 models starting having issues and it's reliability ratings went down for the first time in history. Sadly I cannot pull up 2004 data, pretty much any wear. Around this time, one of the guys on hear went to Japan and picked up his rig, and he...

    @Aubie77, LX's are 10K more when new for this model (100 series) on average they are about 10K more to maintain LX over LC. The average income for someone buying a new LC is 279K, and they tend to buy it in their business's name. The LX has a slightly different demographic, but again, very high...

    So many more things to consider here. Note that in 2004, that model year got way more electronics, and the Landcrusier moved to a new Factory. Senior Technicians close to retirement were bought out. So 2004 and newer models are more prone to expensive issues and 04 specifically is one of the...

    Maintinance Issues for used, LX570 Vs Landcruiser trying to buy a new cruiser

    Dear All, I am getting divorced and want to get back into cruisers and overlanding. Ironic how women are attracted to this and then I end up getting away from it for them. I think I just need an upgraded women this time... It seems the LX570 is not holding it's value as well as the Landcruiser...

    Buying/Selling - what year, how much, etc. - ask for opinions here

    You guys are forgetting two very considerable facts. One, you have no maintinance logs. Landcruisers are expensive to fix and the Rich house wives that drive them 5 K per year tend to get a new one instead of fixing it. So you may be looking at it saying Oh it only 1500 or so, then you buy it...

    LX570 Official Price

    twstchaser: I understand many feel the Sequoia is a qulaity substitute, and considering the market I feel this is an accurrate statement. As for the price, I still feel this is more a reflection of toyota hedging thier bets against the US currecny. This price does seem inflated until you look...
