rust check

Bought this 2005 Lx470 with 150k for 11k. Knew there was a little surface rust but after getting in there it might be more of a problem than I can handle myself. Should I wire brush and coat myself or take it to a body shop? My main concern is safety, I don’t want a break line going out or...

Hi I’m going to look at a 1997 LX later today and other than this one area in the first pic, the rest of the vehicle looks great

Hello All, I bought a 1978 FJ40, and though it has lots going for it, it may have been a mistake. It certainly needs a new tub, which I am game to take on. I have a welder now and want to get to work soon. However, I'm starting to wonder if this particular FJ40 is worth it. I sanded a few...

Hi All, I’m in the market for a 100 series and found one locally. Assuming it’s lived in TN or a surrounding state but waiting to a confirmation. Trying to get a date/time to look at in person but did get some undercarriage pics ahead of time. Does the rust pictured look concerning enough to...

Hello all, I have been reading this forum for a few weeks now and finally bought a 100 Series last week. MY 2000, 155,000 miles, long term owner for 19 years. The car was previously in the north east for 5 years and then spent the rest of its life garage kept in South Western Virginia. I am...

For context / Under 50k miles asking 44k in TX, truck was from the north east, carmax assured me they don't sell rusty vehicles ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Is this rust a deal breaker? Thoughts on what it might cost to get it treated/removed? Appreciate any help, thanks!

Hi guys! Happy Friday. I am looking at the LX570 https://my.caredge.com/buy/details?zip=37129&state=TN&vin=JTJHY7AX0E4149442&mileage=81318&radius=7000&listingId=JTJHY7AX0E4149442-79cd2e85-5a40&inventoryType=used&make=Lexus&model=LX&year=2014&dealerId=11019531 I saw this rust underneath. The...

I'm going to look at a 05 LX470 on Saturday for $8900. I'm going to follow the OTRAMM pre-purchase inspection when I go to look at it. I'm taking a buddy of mine who is a mechanic as well. Is there anything else specific that I should be looking out for that isn't mentioned in the OTRAMM video...

Hey, friends. I’m tracking a 2006 LC with 200k miles. Great service history. One owner, garage kept in the South. Would love to get some takes on attached undercarriage pics. Looks clean to me, but I’d love to hear from others. Thanks!

Hi all. I started shopping for my first LC100/LX 470 a couple of weeks ago. A used car lot an hour from me has a 6 owner, 2005 LX 470 with 200k miles. UT and CO owned. They're asking $17,900. The interior/exterior is a little worn, but not anything I can't live with. I'm not sure what to make of...

Good evening. First time back here in a while - it’s good to be back. Previously owned an ‘01 LX that I sold 2 years ago with only 114k miles. Grabbed an ‘11 LX with roughly the same miles. The LX is a cream puff and damn near perfect, but I miss the 100 series. Came across a 2000 LC with...
