96 Lx 450 Ppi

[G P Gunhouse]

Hello

I am new to the site and may I first say thank you to all the folks that have provided their time , knowledge and resources in making this a fantastic reference tool for all the newbie such as myself.

I am trying to purchase a 95-97 clean low milage (under 100k) LC or LX 450 and have found a stong candidate in FT. Worth Texas. The LX is a two owner w/80K and it appears to have service records. Since the current owner is asking a premium (16K) and I live in Alabama I would like to have a PPI done locally before finalizing the deal. I called the local Lexus dealer (Sewall) and was quoted $389 for a PPI. I have always had PPIs performed on my used vehicles and have never had to pay more than $150. Are there any local independents with a good reputation that anyone has used or recommends.

Since the current owner is asking top dollar I would really like to eliminate any surprise big ticket repairs ( axel rebuild etc.) Thanks again for any and all feedback.

welcome

you might post in one of the TX Clubhouse's at the bottom of the forum....usually a local guy with an hour-two of time will be local and give it at least an initial onceover before you spend $ on an official checkup.

probably cost ya a beer or two at some future event too
