You will be happy. If you are satisfied with what you paid and feel you are getting a good truck, that is all that matters.
Cheers,

I maybe paid more than others... but here in the SF Bay Area these things get snapped up fast. I paid $11K, 1 owner, 65 year old guy, never went off road, everything works, could use a tune up and driver seat cushion redone. I would give it a good to excellent condition review.

In the next 30 days it gets an OME 2.5" lift, 33's, and ARB front bumper. Burly Lexus in progress.
Happy to be lock'd and fully loaded (less towing package) .

Yeah, they cars definitely do cost more in the Bay Area. But being rust-free is totally worth it. I believe the tow package is nothing more than a tow hitch. All 80's come with the tranny cooler, right?

Btw, you want to sell your RX7? I've been thinking about getting another one... only this time with an LS1.

So I finally picked it up today. It drives great, has a ton more power than my FJ60..... it is a totally different animal. No engine noise compared to my FJ60 and it actually accellerates up steep grades! Much more plush and it is actually the newest vehicle I've ever owned! I don't ever want a car payment.

I did notice the ride is way too super cushy... time for OME 2.5" lift, 33's, and ARB front bumper on the wishlist. That will probably be the limit of my mods. (crossing fingers)

I think the previous owner took the pink panties with them..... because I looked in the truck.... and noticed my girlfriend wasn't wearing any today

I did notice a Lexus first aid kit in the glovebox!

I updated my sig and will post pics tomorrow in the AM.

you are jsut having a great day all arround,

I think the first aid kit ushually lives in the compartment in the back right side. I would not have room for it in the glove box.

the factory LX shocks were soft to start out with, after 100K+ miles they are almost like having none at all, replacing the shocks alone will help alot, springs and shocks even better.

Welcome to the pink panties brigade! You chose wisely, grasshopper!
