Well, unfortunately the time has come to thin the heard. I bought this a little over 1.5 years ago as a temporary solution, but it was so excellent as a DD I kept it and drove it nearly every day. I have a vehicle collection problem and recently bought a Tesla as my daily driver, so I have 2 200s, the Tesla, a classic J**p, and my wife has a CRV. I would love to keep them all, but it's time to get rid of at least 1 vehicle.
This LX was bought new at Stevinson Lexus in Lakewood, CO, and was serviced there essentially its entire life with the exception of about 1.5 years when the guy I bought it from had moved to the east coast. I bought it off him and sent it back to CO where I've been continuing servicing it at Stevinson. It's been perfectly reliable and only required regular maintenance. The only things I've done to the truck outside of normal service are:
- 275/65/20 BFG AT KO2 tires with 85% tread life
- New windshield installed at Lexus a couple months ago
- Weather tech mats front and rear (Lexus carpet mats and Lexus rubber mats are included as well)
- Expensive full detail just completed this week
- Rear brakes and brake fluid flush done a few thousand miles ago
- Hikari LED headlights
- ARB front tow points (never used, just put them on all the trucks I buy)
If you're looking at this post on Mud, you already know all the good stuff that comes on the Lexus. I legitimately believe the Lexus is the better value than the Land Cruiser and is quieter, more luxurious, has more features and handles better. This one has the Mark Levinson sound but no cool box, and honestly I think the storage space gained with no cool box is 100x more useful. I've spent a lot of seat time in my 14 LC, 16 LC and this LX, and I think this LX drives the best of the bunch. I'm choosing to keep the LC over the LX because I've dropped a lot of money into mods into the LC, otherwise I'd be selling the LC instead.
I have 28 pages of service records from the Lexus dealer as well as a clean Carfax attached. The truck has 171.3k miles on it, and that should not change as it's sitting in the garage until it's sold. I’m asking $24.5k.
