FZJ80/FJ80 Lexus LX450
195,000 miles
CDL only, not fitted with triple lockers

This vehicle has been meticulously maintained at EVERY Lexus recommended maintenance interval. Like ridiculously meticulous.

This vehicle is not a Prius.... MPG is roughly 11mpg in-town on average after installing new tires. I would know because this is my daily driver. I also use heavy weight synthetic oil soooo that doesn't help mpg either.
  • 195k miles
  • New Rancho RS 5000 shocks (11/15/17)
  • New Valve Cover Gasket (11/15/17)
  • New Double Platinum Spark Plugs (11/15/17)
  • New NGK Spark Plug Wires (11/15/17)
  • Cats removed (11/15/17)
  • Synthetic heavy-weight oil changes every 4k miles for past 3 years. Previously done every 3k at Lexus of Omaha for the 17 years prior to it being handed down to me.
  • 195k miles
  • New Tires - 31.5" 265/75r16 Hankook Dynapros (installed 11/6/17 - Rotation due at 199,500)
  • Runs great - I actually just returned from a single-day 550-mile trip (1/10/18) to OKC and back because some guy was trying to sell me a crooked Land Cruiser claiming it was the bees knees. It was not the bees knees.
  • All-time 4wd
  • Center diff locker
  • Solid axels
  • 4.5 liter inline-6
  • No rust
  • Paint is pretty damn good
  • I have the OEM center caps in a box in the trunk
  • It's got a bunch of outdoor stickers to make people think I'm one of those cool people that wear zip-off cargo pants, expensive wool socks, and Birkenstocks.
The bad?
  • Missing pass-front bumper end-cap (my stepsister decided it was a good idea to back out of the garage with headphones in and not look to see that she scraped the crap out of the passenger side of the car on the side of our garage.
  • My stepdad lost the end-cap somehow even though it's the size of a bloated rodent
  • ^^ Due to stepsister mayhem, I had to have my body guy reattach the pass-right rear door/rear fender moulding
  • Some other scratches here and there

Accepting offers. I don't need to sell, but I'm really looking to get into a Diesel Land Cruiser.

I have the original window sticker -- Totaling $55,500 in 1996.

Trade for diesel land cruiser, 4x4 Tacoma, older land cruisers, diesel hilux.

My name is Chase.

would consider partial trade. selling for $19500. I'm in Boston so not geographically convenient....
 
Do you have a craigslist posting or a forum thread with information on the vehicle? That'll help me understand the asking price of $19,500 a little better.

Preferably looking for a non-2LTE diesel trade offer
 
Going to be a lot easier to sell the LX450 and then buy what you want. You are significantly narrowing your options by trying to trade. Lots of people looking for clean 80 series.

You’re absolutely right. And I’m finding that to be quite true. The sellers I’ve spoken to that are open to doing a trade with cash have all seemed to be sketchy. It’s a bummer when people take advantage of the LC community of trust.
