For Sale 1999 LX470, lifted, 33” tires, steel sliders

...All except for some cosmetic issues. My plan was to keep this truck long term but children grow up and times change.

The economy sucks, I am self employed, Kids are 14, 15, and 16... new drivers. I am attempting to sell the LX for a fair price to get something smaller and cheaper... cheaper on auto insurance and fuel costs as well. Teenagers are insainly expensive on insurance. If it was this bad when I was 16 I feel very badly for my parents.

It's a great truck and a hard item to part with. Sometimes hard decisions must be made. I hope that whoever buys the thing takes good care of it and enjoys it as much as we have.

Price reduced to $12,500.

I love your answer to the low-ball offer. I need to bookmark it for future use.

Great truck and great price. It will sell.

 

[jp0013]

I want it. I sent a PM, I will let you know something without a doubt on Saturday.

 

[rwhatley]

...yes, it's still available. So far the potential buyers don't have the cash in hand to pay. They're working on it... hopefully one of them will get the funds together soon.

Anyone out there looking for a good truck and have funding available? I'll throw in a few beersto sweeten the deal. Or a bottle of wine if you prefer.

You sure you are not interested in any trades???? I bought this 2006 VW Jetta TDI (Turdo Diesel) brand new. I've had it serviced by the dealer from day one with all the receipts. Just had the 90,000 mile timeing belt done. This car is in immaculate condition and gets 40+ MPG.

This is a bad photo, but here ya go....

Nice Jetta

Trades may become an option in the near future. Very nice looking Jetta. I like diesel engines. I don't think that car would work for what I need but send me a PM with more details and I'll get back to you by PM. Automatic or Stick? package, options, etc. Thanks.

Truck listed on ebay:

Lexus : LX: eBay Motors (item 110534492987 end time May-24-10 09:43:57 PDT)

Same basic write up and pictures. Auction and "buy it now" listing. "Buy it now" is a little higher than the price listed here to cover ebay/paypal fees if it sells through the auction.

The reserve price is lower than the "buy it now" price... no, I won't tell you what the reserve price is. Place your "bets" to find out and you might win a truck!

I got lexus to repaint mine free of charge. If I could get em to agree to repaint this one I'd buy it as a second one! Good luck on ebay.

 

[rwhatley]

You won the lottery with your dealer. They won't do it here. What city, state is your dealer in? Are you the original owner? What year is the car and how long ago did they repaint it? Same color or different?

I have heard of others getting their LX repainted but not around here. I went to Lexus of Nashville and they will not even think about helping at all with defective paint when out of warranty.

If your looking for a good LX take a look... don't miss out on this wondrous opportunity! Hopefully the truck will make its way to a happy new owner this week.

Have had no luck still (as expected) with the complaint filed with Lexus about the problematic paint. I imagine they may have been more helpful if we were not in the midst of 2nd (intentionally engineered) great depression ... see infowars.com Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

Relisted at ebay. Price reduced. Bid or make reasonable offer by PM.

so what "lift" is on the truck?

so what "lift" is on the truck?

AHC lift, 2" Also, leveled out the front and back so that the front end is not 1" lower than the rear as it is set up when stock.

Pardon my newb question regarding AHC, how many height settings does it have? I thought it just had 2 but in your ebay add it says it can go up to 4" using the AHC so I assumed you had something else in addition to the AHC.

There are sensors for the hydrolic system on each front wheel and one on the rear axle that set the height of the AHC. Those can be adjusted, within limits, up or down. There is at least one write up about here at ih8mud which it what I used as a guide a few years ago. I have it set 2" higher when in normal so when you press the "high" button it is 4" higher than a stock LX on normal or a stock LC. It works very well and rides well. As you probably know there is also a dial with 4 settings from "comfort" to "sport" which adjusts the stiffness of the suspension to your liking.

I would not recommend adjusting them higher than this truck is because of the strain it would place on the CV joints when in normal mode/regular street driving. Also, it could put a strain on the AHC system if adjusted too high. The Slee diff drop kit takes all or most of the strain off of the CV joints.

thanks for the info. I've always wanted a 100 series but my budget is only $10,000 this time around for a vehicle if I want to pay cash (which I do) so it looks like i'll keep my eyes open for a stock one or more likely another 4runner.
