Here is one for sale in Denver:
1997 Lexus LX450 same as Landcruiser
Spoke with the owner - he said he has 4 cars. This one has not been driven much - in fact he said it's been sitting unused for almost a year (that can't be good for a vehicle, eh?!).
Anyway, he says the truck is bone stock except for the big 33 inch tires (Toyo Outlander?!).
Thing is - he has no lift on the truck... I thought a minimum lift is required for that size of a tire (he said it's 285?!). Won't this tire be rubbing when you wheel the vehicle?!
He has no lockers and claims he never had it off road - wanted to I guess, but plans have changed.
One thing that concerned me when speaking to him: I asked if it was consuming any oil and he said: No. I asked if he had to add any oil in between oil changes and he said: No. I asked if he had checked the oil level and he said: NO...
He claims that he drove this truck very little - about 1K between oil changes and performed oil change every 3-4 months. Hmmm....
I didn't ask him about the maintenance records... soemting tells me there won't be any... but I'll probably go see it this weekend. He didn't act like he was anxious to sell - in fact he acted like he was barely interested in speaking to me... weird.
Anyway - I really wonder about those big a$$ tires... they look cool - not knowing any better I'd guess they would be rubbing some, so I wanted to ask y'all for some opinions.
Thx,
James
