1998 Lexus LX470, VIN# JT6HT00W4W0017012
~175k
Clean title
I’m the third owner since 146k, purchased 9/22/2016, truck located in Gainesville, FL

Resided in North Carolina until 54k, and Florida-owned till present in Jacksonville and Gainesville
Hasn’t seen any off-roading with me, previous owner’s wife used it to ferry kids around Jacksonville, so likely little or no off-roading by second owner; most of the miles by me are highway commuting miles.
Lexus dealer records from new till ~140k, and Indie shop or Toyota records from ~140k till present. Many items replaced or repaired by dealer under warranty previous to my ownership
Oil changes every 3-5k with Mobil 1 Advanced Synthetic or Royal Purple 5W-30 (I had some Royal Purple coupons, why not?)
Interior leather cleaned and conditioned with Lexol four times during ownership
AHC and 4x4 system works as it should, undercarriage clean and without rust, some surface corrosion on engine bay protection plate
Paint scuffs on both sides of rear bumper (compliments of my wonderful coworkers backing out next to the LX and scraping against bumper, happened four (!) times)
Sunroof intermittently leaks from dome light, recent issue I have not addressed. Front portion of headliner around dome light slightly discolored from this, hard to notice really
Interior in excellent condition, driver’s seat in good condition, some wearing on upper part of steering wheel
Exterior in good condition, some door dings all around, small areas of gray paint flaking on lower doors, one area where scratch was repaired. Roof is the worst, see pictures
Only damage I can find on body is that rear hatch does not sit flush with body on the driver’s side, apparently the previous owner’s wife backed the LX into something with the rear hatch up, bending the rear hatch slightly. It does not leak and is cosmetic, and there is a small area where the rear hatch rubs against the body.
Sometimes the rear bushings creak, I suspect it is the bushings but it does not happen enough for me to have addressed it yet

Selling because my priorities have changed. Truck is paid off and I’m in no rush to sell; there’s no financial hardship forcing sale.
