For Sale 1999 Lexus LX - St. Louis (1 Viewer)

Location

United States

Team Mud,

I am in the market for a 100 series LX. I am returning from overseas duty and found this one in St. Louis which is my first stop. The price is about $1000 high (IMHO) due to lack of maintenance records from the seller.

I would welcome your thoughts on this LX. If there are any Team Mud folks in the St. Louis area who have the time to take a look at it, I would be very grateful.

Sincerely,
Piglet

Low miles. Did you try adding the VIN in Toyota Owners site and see if the timing chain had been done?

Hi piglet ..

First off thank you for your service.

Second - I called about the truck a few months ago. Had the dealer send various pics of the engine bay and under carriage.

It's very unlikely the timing belt / water pump was done.

There is a good amount of surface rust on the belly (I believe one of the running board brackets was rusted out and and they "flex" when stepped on)

There was a history of corner light replacement likely indicating a mild accident

The dealer was really straight forward and the shipping price wasn't terrible but for similar $ I have seen higher mileage '03s with the 5sp tranny and side curtain airbags and updated dash/gps and wheels.

So I passed.

But it may be the right truck for you.

Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts.

I received the undercarriage pictures today and you are correct lots of rust. I ran the VIN on the Lexus website and it was not maintained by a Lexus dealership. Too many variables on the truck. Think I will wave off.

Sincerely,
Piglet
