Girlfriend wants to move into the city, so I need to thin the herd.
Meticulously maintained 2000 LX470. Folder of documentation from the day the car was purchased. (also have an excel file of all the work since it's easier to browse through than a big old folder of invoices)...
Been a New England car its whole life, but rust down below is, in my opinion, much less than average.
Will clean up well if somebody wants a "pretty" car. But their reliability is what they're known for, and the immaculate service record ensures it'll be good for a very long time. Cosmetically the worst thing is the pass front door courtesy of some New York City a**hole driver that was backing in to parallel park (one way street, left side), and transferred paint/dented it.
Recent work (most of it done last fall/winter to get it ready for snowboard season! up and down to Vermont/New Hampshire/Maine to snowboard)
NEW DENSO Radiator in Dec. 2016. It was -11 degrees out, the upper plastic end-tank on the radiator (which was original at 225k miles) developed a fine crack. And since I was doing the radiator, I also upgraded the UPPER/LOWER Radiator hoses, Thermostat, and Heater T's with genuine Toyota replacements.
And since I was replacing the radiator, I noticed the A/C condenser was in rough shape. So I replaced it with a NEW DENSO a/c condenser.
And since my battery was measuring 16.2V at idle, I got a new DENSO alternator and Interstate Megatron 2 (800CCA) battery.
The Michelin's that were on it were replaced with new NITTO TERRA GRAPPLER's in 285's. No rubbing.
New brake pads all around.
Also deleted the AHC. It was giving me issues and eventually the front stopped coming up most days. And then every once in a while it would lift and be fine again for a day or two. And then drop again.
I was tired of it, and with winter coming, the last thing I wanted was to always have that worry in the back of my mind and chase issues.
Replaced with all genuine toyota shocks and washers (those were the most expensive washers I've bought in my life). Also OME rear shocks (NO LIFT) and Land Cruiser Torsion bars.
Also has Morimoto BiXenon swap in the front for infinitely better lights than factory, new windshield, and who knows what else I'm forgetting.
Okay I feel like I'm rambling now, so I'll stop... $6,800 OBO.
