looking at lx450 in orland park IL.

I am looking at a lx450 in IL. I'm in N.C. Would anyone be interested in looking at it for me and giving me an opinion on it?

I would try to stay away from the northern vehicle. You will have rust problem on most of the stuff around the chasis. It cost you quite some money to replace parts that refuse to break lose during service. I make this comment because I bought one 80 from PA and bought my accord at IL as well, both has rust problem. Just sent my truck for alignment this morning and got a call from them saying my tie rod seize up, they can't adjust it. Meaning $$$$ again!!! Hopefully I can break it lose when I take it back this evening. If I were you, I will find one in the south patiently, like FL, TX. Hope this help and good luck.

Thanks for the feedback

I thought the same thing. I am from Missouri originally and have seen the effects of winter. I was hoping if there were any experienced cruiser guys in the area maybe one of them might be gracious enough to give it the once over, it would help me make my final decision.

Somebody has been busy deleting my posts. Don't listen to the SW people on rust being a factor. I drive a 96 with 185k on the clock that has spent it's life in Massachusetts. I've only had trouble with 2 bolts. The body is in great shape and I DON"T have the rust under the roof rack like others have had.

Every truck is different and they all should be considered regardless of location.



I left tard out, better?
