I bought this vehicle from texas and has been in colorado the past 8 years- it is rust free.
Interior is in decent shape: no rips or tears in leather and all functions as it should.
I do have the third row seats which are in very good condition.

Exterior is good, but not perfect:
Paint on the hood is starting to fade, and paint down the sides has pinstriping from narrow trails.
Very minor body dings (smaller than a quarter) do exist in a couple spots.

Vehicle has been completely reliable and pleasure to own. I would not hesitate to drive this vehicle across the country right now.
I recently had a child and upgraded to a truck/camper as this SUV is no longer practical for family.
I have a clean title in hand, and a carfax report. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey good question - Ill try to add alot more detail around the engine here:
My heater T's failed (reminder to replace your heater Ts), and my motor overheated and died. Had the truck towed to Slee who diagnosed no compression, and quoted 10K in labor to install a new engine (not counting sourcing the engine). I wanted to keep the truck so I had it brought back to my house and pulled the motor.
I sourced a new motor out of an identical vehicle: 1999 LX470 w/ 150K miles that had been rear-ended and totaled in Washington state. They did compression tests on the motor which were high compression and even across all cylinders. I also saw pictures of the car and confirmed it was just rear end damage, so I had them crate the motor to me. It arrived looking perfect, and I could have dropped it right in, but wanted to make it bullet proof.
So I put the new motor on an engine stand and spent about 3 months tearing it down and doing all the preventative maintenance I could think of, since this is much easier on an engine stand and I intended to keep this truck another 100K. All of the things I replaced listed above so I wont relist here. Used all genuine Toyota parts and followed the FSM for all work / torque specs ect.
This was all done with alot of care and precision as I was intending to keep this truck so doing the work for myself much more carefully and slowly than any shop would.
So its a Toyota 2uzfe that has been thoroughly maintained and has already given me ~15K trouble free miles. Should be ready to run for another 100K.

Let me know if you have more questions.
