Any MUD members in NE Ohio willing to check out an LX570 for me?

It's located at a dealership

2008 Lexus LX 570 4WD 4dr Twilight Gray Metallic 4D Sport Utility VIN:JTJHY00W484004814

Since it's in the rust belt worried the dealership isn't being honest about undercarriage...

By looking at pics 51 - 54, it likely has a little, but not too bad yet. If they can't stick a camera under the rear and snap a pic, or throw it on the lift for a good one, IMO, walk away.

STAY AWAY.... Stay far away.

My 1997 was in NE Ohio for 3 years before I bought it.

Every single nut and bolt broke off. It was awful.

I literally bought $700 in toyota hardware to replace everything.

And that was at cost

Negative. You don't get cost at a dealership. Usually it is cost + 10%.

Nonetheless, yes, expensive.

bummer - i was hoping the best for you

External and interior look fantastic.
Will be interesting and crucial to see underneath....

I keep thinking of monster trucks.
Monster trucks are basically a big ugly machine...with a thin coat of cool-looking plastic to make them resemble trucks.

Strained analogy aside... It's what's UNDER the shiny coat that counts..

I got some pictures from under the truck. Definitely a no go, too much rust for a truck that age. More rust than my 95...

There's an '08 LC on iseecars in Miami for 29k. Not sure if you're focusing on LXs or not.

Kendall Toyota in Miami. I'd keep it secret for myself but I'm sure it'll be gone before I get back stateside in May anyways.

I was looking at the cruiser in Miami. It was in rough shape. The salesman was not very forthcoming on its condition. They have done alot of work on it lately. I have recent pics.. as in yesterday.
Be careful of the dealer.
Pm me if you want additional info.

I just drove this one. There is rust bubbling out beneath the rear window.

The truck runs and drives nice. It has new tires and brakes. There are scratches from a dog on the drivers door and small coametic scratches ans chip in normal places. The engine compartment is relatively clean. It is pretty clean for being a 2008 Ohio truck. With only 80k on it it was either a winter "beater" or someone's wives ride. We have salt on the road from Oct. through April.

Do you still have the pics from this LX? I'm curious to see what the underside looks like.
