    That is an interesting coincidence! Thanks for the look and the compliments! I can see the passion that the LC/LX community has for these vehicles and we know that this vehicle will be in the hands of someone that will fully appreciate it. Have a good one!

    Seeking advice on selling a 1997 LX450 - where, how much, etc.

    So a new development here. The diagnosis code for the SRS/airbag is "code 31 air bag control unit assembly." So how does this affect what y'all think of the vehicle? Is this something that I should fixed (replace the control unit - per the shop, Lexus has this part in-stock), or is this...

    So still trying to come up with a price at the moment. But if you have a price that you may want me to consider please message me. Thanks!

    Great ideas - "cash is king," and it would be great if I can have a transaction like that. The bank seems to be a really good idea since you can deposit it directly into your account when you receive payment, and any counterfeit checks would also be occurring there at the time of deposit I...

    Yes, I have heard of the payment dispute thing - basically gaming the system that favors the buyer. This is a good reminder that it's a real thing. Good tips on the remote purchase situation as well. And it's good to know that there is a community here on MUD that is looking out for others...

    Yes, also true on intent. If someone if traveling they are showing some good faith. I'll definitely keep all of this in mind. Thanks!

    So interesting - will have to look up what common scams there are with people wanting vehicles shipped to them. I assume it has something to do with some of the funds not coming through or something like that, yet the vehicle is shipped off? Or somehow the funds are "recalled." Will...

    That makes a lot of sense because it's reasonable. Auctioning off the vehicle on a platform with its fees and the buyer arranging transport I would think also yields about the same likely results for both the seller and the buyer. Thanks for weighing in - greatly appreciated!

    Seeking advice on selling a 1997 LX450 - where, how much, etc.

    Oh, that may be a good market as well. I guess its all about where the buyers are. So let me ask this - if one were to list it for sale in say Colo, or Wash/Ore/NorCal but the vehicle is located in Texas, would we as the seller pay for the transport to the buyer so that it's a "local...

    This is some interesting history/insight on these 80 series. And dealerships now play the "Protection Package" game as a way to extract a few thousand more on top of MSRP. Nitro in tires for $125, etching for $249, door edge guards for $198, tint for $300 (just the front door windows), a $75...

    So I gave all of this a try, and yeah - nothing. It's stuck perhaps 1-2" extended. I'll give it another shot in the morning. Thanks for the tip!

    That's a good tip. Thanks! We love Arkansas - been 3 times in the past couple of years. Y'all have the nicest state parks I have ever been to, period.

    Thanks for the recommendations on the auction sites. And overall I think this would be a good one to build upon. Will be looking into those options. Again, thanks!

    Seeking advice on selling a 1997 LX450 - where, how much, etc.

    I think tidying up is a good idea, and I will have to find a way to get it on a lift or some other way to get better pictures. Hopefully I won't end up on the ground trying to take a bunch of pictures. Thanks y'all - and if there are any other thoughts I'm open to them all.

    Seeking advice on selling a 1997 LX450 - where, how much, etc.

    Good points - we want to find a happy buyer that will understand what they're getting, and we definitely do not want to spend money on things that someone may replace after the buy it, like tires. Oil pressure sending unit, if that's the issue can/probably should be replaced along with...

    Seeking advice on selling a 1997 LX450 - where, how much, etc.

    That's a good point - one that will save a lot of time and reduce the questions/wonderings. Will have to get it on a lift for better pictures. Here are some pics that I have now - thoughts on what you initially see here? And again, thanks - this is all super helpful!

    Seeking advice on selling a 1997 LX450 - where, how much, etc.

    Thanks! I just posted a response to gummycarbs that we at most will likely do some minor cleanup/fixes. Will definitely have the airbag light looked into, fix the oil pressure sending unit, and then tires. I'm sure there are a ton of posts all over regarding tires, but if you have some...

    Seeking advice on selling a 1997 LX450 - where, how much, etc.

    Thanks! This all sounds generally what I was thinking overall. Likely we will take the route of minor fixes and clean-up, and then sell it to someone that is willing to put in the time and money to get it to what they want. Appreciate the feedback!
