For Sale '97 Lexus LX450

I just bought this, but have found a rig closer to what I really want. Willing to let go for what I paid for it, which was $7,500 or $3K under NADA retail. It's bone stock with 211K miles, and it's in fantastic shape. All belts and hoses have been replaced. Head gasket has been replaced, and it has the lockers. There's a slight tear on the driver's seat, but other than that it's in great shape. It was driven by a business man's wife here in town, never been off-road, and the undercarriage is clean as a whistle. No rust or corrosion that I could see at all. Everything inside works like new, except it does need the passenger rear door lock actuator so it unlocks when you unlock the doors. It has the third row seats, as well. There's a couple of filled chips in the windshield, but not in the line of sight for the driver and they're very small. All fluids have been changed in the tranny, transfer case, and axles.

I bought this with the intention of building it up to be a serious crawler, but instead have found a fully built rig Id rather start with, I think. Don't bother lowballing me, because I literally just bought it today...lol. I don't have pictures, because I'm waiting on my title to arrive on my wife's RAV4 we traded, so the vehicle is still at the previous owners till my vehicle I traded for it's title is back and I can take it to him to make the swap. I'm hoping the title comes in this week, so I can go down and get some pictures. It's black with tan interior.

Hey guys,

I picked it up last night and drove it home for the first time. It drives great! The only problem is last night and right now it's been snowing like crazy. We probably already have close to a foot of new snow, so taking pictures isn't going to happen today, unfortunately. Sorry for the delay, but I do have to say a couple of things about it's ability to drive in the snow...freakin' amazing!! No joke, coming down a steep grade going to the gym this morning I passed a subaru going downhill that had no traction sliding all over the place. I stopped on the hill, asked if he was okay to get down it, then proceeded to start back up the hill with no trouble. Then, after working out, I was headed home and on a much smaller grade, there was a girl driving a subaru and couldn't make it up the hill either. I stopped to see if she was okay, then proceeded up the hill with no trouble. I couldn't believe it...this thing is amazing in the snow. I used to think the Subaru's were the ultimate in the snow, but not anymore.

I am interested. I am in Greenville, SC and need to replace my wrecked Cruiser.

Can you send me pictures to bolandjay@yahoo.com.

I will also PM you for good measure.

Thanks.

 

[ravencr]

I'll definitely send them, but it will likely be next week. Snow isn't supposed to stop till tomorrow at 4pm here.

Hey guys,

The detail is getting done today, and I'll snap pics tomorrow of it. The only problem is the one I wanted to buy instead sold...lol, so I'll have to see if I'm actually going to sell this or not, but anything is still possible. Thanks for everyone's patience.

Hey guys,

I hate to say it, but because the one I was looking to buy sold, I'm going to keep mine and build it up like I originally planned. Sorry guys.
