Not mine obviously, but saw it in a search. I'm looking for a 2006/2007 LC but this is a bit far from me and I do assume it has some issues at this price. Has anyone checked it out or would be willing to go look at it? 2006 with 195K miles for $11,495.
The one I posted this morning was on a City of Baltimore unclaimed property list back in MAy, it was auctioned as a result. Back in 2009 it was listed as stolen and recovered in a 3 day period. However, Carfax also stated it was 1 owner for it's life. Maybe a drug dealer? It's a good drug dealin' rig, you have to admit.
I'm having it inspected by a local shop and will let you know what they find. Worth the $65 just to satisfy curiosity.

If you pass on it, and the price is stupid please PM me the listing. I wouldn't mind. If something happens, I'll pass along $65 to you to cover the inspection
It's a 2006 with 195K miles listed for $11495. Was quoted an out the door price of $11500, included their fee. No TT&L included since I would be an out of state buyer.
Inspected at local shop that had dozens of positive reviews. Feedback from shop:
Not rough, for 195K miles and 10 years in good cosmetic shape
AHC fully functional with no weird noises
All electronics and systems work without issue.
TPMS light on
One tire manufactured 2004 (dealership states they will replace), others 2014
Rear shocks leaking
both brake bleeders seized
Left front sway bar link rusted through but not other signs of rust underneath except normal light spots typical of a non salt state vehicle aged 10 years
Brakes good
No current or stored codes in ECM or TCM
No sticker indicated timing belt replacement. Any other way to tell the age?
Recommend fluids replacement.
Recommend spark plugs replacement.
Shop owner and mechanic said it looked good and they liked the vehicle, they could recommend a purchase
Buy it! Pay for the TB and all the associate pieces and have them do it before you show up. That's a great road trip with plenty of time to enjoy the truck.
Leaning towards shipping it due to time constraints, should would prefer to drive it back.
I'm actually driving from Texas to Virginia to see family for the week of Thanksgiving. In my head I picture driving our family vehicle up there, then putting it on a trailer and towing it back with the Land Cruiser. My wife and kids already think I have serious mental issues when it comes to vehicle acquisitions so I think I won't do that. Plus, I'm still cynical issues won't be found given the 195K miles and low price so driving the whole family back while towing 5500 pounds might be pushing it.
I live about 45 min from leesburg...sounds like you got this covered tho! Def not a bad idea driving back with the wife in a support vehicle or towing...peak week was probably 2 weeks ago but its still a beautiful drive, and the thrill of not knowing what may break on your rig while hurdling down I81 south at 80mph is always tempting!
Edit: Just looked and i've seen that dealer post over the years on CL and the like and their vehicles always look clean and legitimate. Congrats!
I'll give you her number so you can call and tell her about the 20+ hour drive.
Shipping is looking pretty expensive. I could leave it at my brother's house in Richmond then fly back up on some frequent flyer miles I have and drive it back solo.
Shipping - $1300 (current bid)
Trailer pull our other car - $700 (Uhaul states minivan is too heavy for dolly and trailer is needed, but then towing 6k pounds with an unknown condition cruiser) + $150 (the difference in gas between a 25 MPG car and a 12 MPG car for 1450 miles) = $850
FLy up and drive back - $240 in gas + $50 in Uber airport rides + 2 days of my time
