I bought this nice LX450 not running - now I want to put some life into it.
Where should I start? The motor doesn't run - PO said it was knocking before they had it retire.
Oil has no antifreeze or signs of a HG failure, but oil is very dark.
212k miles
The transmission is in Park position but the car acts like it is in Nutural position ( I'm able to roll it )
What concerns me is the fact that the PO wasn't aware of the fact that this is an full time AWD and maybe he towed it on a 2 wheel dolly when it stopped running. So if that's the case, what can he potentially have damaged by towing it on a 2 wheel dolly? transmission? axles?
at this point, I'm figuring out what kind of work it will need to I can start somewhere. Any suggestions?
Thanks here are some pictures ...
