2007 Lexus LX 470 — how much would you pay? (1 Viewer)

I’m negotiating with a seller on an 07 LX with 140k miles on it. The truck was in 2 minor accidents according to car fax and there were no noticeable signs of the frame being damaged when I checked out the vehicle.

There is a minor amount of rust, car spent most of its life in South Carolina and more recently garaged in NH.

The seller doesn’t have solid maintenance records. Hasn’t replaced heater Ts, coils, or the timing belt and water pump during their 4 years of ownership(25k miles driven during that time).

They are asking 24k for the truck. Can you all help me determine if that’s a fair price? Given the accident history and lack of maintenance I think it’s worth 18k. Please tell me if I’m way off or thinking about it right.

Thanks in advance!

The seller had a PPI done but won’t send it over. Too many red flags with this and the seller has a number that’s way too high for the lack of maintenance done on this LX.

Ive realized there's a lot of sharks out there. As hard as it is to walk away I think best to go with your gut.

This was in my area and I thiink would have been a pretty good buy in the low 20s compared to auction sites, espeically for the Northeast where most rigs are pretty rusty and this is pretty decent and would save someone in the northeast a bit on shipping and the opportunity to see in person. Looks like it's sold now so hopefully a Mudder got it and was happy with the deal.

To the OP, if you're looking for a low rust 06/07 ~140k miles for $18k I don't think that's going to happen unless you get lucky and are willing to buy sight unseen over FB marketplace/Craiglist in a low rust area. Good luck with the search.
