For Sale: My wife's 1996 Lexus LX450
Mileage on engine: 163,000, I replaced the engine in July 2014, the replacement had 120,000 on it when I put it in.
Mileage on chassis: 269,000.
This was my wife’s daily driver since 2008, but now it is time to move on. My daughter is going to school in DC and while the LX450 has been a reliable beast, it is time to put her in something newer and more comfortable for the long trips.
The original engine blew in 2014 at 228,000 miles. When I put the “new” engine in I put in quite a few new items just for reliability’s sake (it was my wife’s after all).
All Fluids are Amsoil: Transmission, front and rear differentials, transfer case, power steering, and engine oil.
Some of its best features:
What’s wrong
I am asking $7500 for this truck. If you look around and try and find one with 163,000 miles on it, you will probably pay way over $10K, and remember this one has the very desirable diff locks and is rust free. Call Andy at 407-234-0771 and let’s talk. Truck is located in Apopka, FL, just north of Orlando. Thanks for checking it out.

All Fluids are Amsoil: Transmission, front and rear differentials, transfer case, power steering, and engine oil.
Some of its best features:
- Factory front and rear diff locks, and they work
- Runs great, idles smooth, never overheats, just a good running truck.
- Rust free body and underside, check out the pics.
- Cold AC
- 3rd row seats
What’s wrong
- Front bumper is pushed in, my wife bumped a guy in traffic a few months ago, but he had a trailer hitch. These front bumpers are made out of tissue paper anyway, guess who won? Cosmetic only, no other damage.
- Paint is just OK, in some areas the clear is getting hazy.
- The seats are not great, the fronts are from a landcruiser (non power) and have been recovered, but are just OK. Rears are OK, but have some tears and the leather is not great, 3rd row is OK.
- The driver side rear window does not work off of the driver’s door switch, works fine on its own.
- ABS light is on. I have not diagnosed it.
- It has a check engine light which codes out for “Low EGR Flow” I put on a new valve and sensor, but have never been able to get the code to completely go away. The passage in the upper intake is clear, I made sure of that when I changed the injectors. Doesn’t seem to impact how it runs, it has been throwing that code off and on for the last 4 years.
