Dealer 2004 LC, DFW TX, Has anyone seen this truck?

Has anyone seen or driven this truck? It's at DFW Trucks outside of Dallas Tx. I am really tempted to go pick it up. Its from New York so rust is a concern, however the dealer sent me some pics and it doesn't look that bad (I know this can be deceiving). I'm in San Antonio and don/t have all the time to drive up there and check it out. The provided Carfax on the website shows decent maintenance history, but it shows that the transmission was replaced around 27k miles. Hopefully this was a one time thing since it doesn't seem to have any other problems.

I talked to them last week over emails. Got him down to $14,700. Wouldn’t budge any further. Truck looked clean, but I passed due to my own budget.

DO NOT BUY THIS LAND CRUISER!

I purchased this about three months ago. It was a new car dealer trade-in.

The frame has a hole in it right under the driver’s door on the rail. You can actually see it in this photo:

The entire underside has been sprayed. I have photos of it before, but that doesn’t matter as this should be considered a huge pass. It’s worth about $6k in its current condition.

Also, when I had it, it had 5 cylinder misfires, needed cats, needed tires, needed brakes and who knows what else. I was able to arbitrate it and send it back to the original seller.

Also, the entire moonroof Was duct taped and leaked when I had it. The drivers seat was also repaired with a half-assed leather repair kit and sprayed gray. Every body panel is dented and scratched. There’s rust on the inner tailgate, upper hatch.

Buyer Beware on this one. It Looks like it has sold several times since I bought it. It initially landed in MA a couple months ago and now it’s in TX. It’s definitely not a TX truck.

It infuriates me when I see the current asking price and no disclosure of frame rot.

Honestly, I don't understand how people can look at those pictures and think it looks clean.

That rig is a disgusting rusty mess that has been rattle canned.

Look at the middle of this picture... you guys can't see that?

Was thinking the same things as above... Seems like there is a whole lot of wrong with this. On top of that, did anyone notice in the parked exterior shots how there is a nice stream and puddle of wet that seems to be in a perfect location for the rad to be leaking?!!!
Also noticed the nice hole in the frame rail and rust in multiple areas while others stuff looked too clean and freshly painted.

You guys are on it. I looked at it as well and the rust is bad.
