Anyone know of a 100 or LX470 for sale?

[GXO]

Looks like I will be needing to buy a truck in the next few weeks so I might as well start looking. I would like an LX470 for the daily coosh but a newer 100 would work just as well.

Looking for anything under $30k or so.

If you all could keep your eye's open I would appreciate it.

If you get a 100 make sure you get one with rear air....your boys will love it...pretty sure all LX's have it.

 

[GXO]

Yep, I am leaning toward the LX right now...more of them out there have nav and DVD

A quick Craig's List doesn't come up with much...but here are a few:

Doing my daily cruiser search on all semi-local Craigslists and here's what I found...

Raleigh
99 Toyota Land Cruiser
2000 Lexus LX470

That first one is a rockin' deal that was posted today, hope it's still there.

No NAV system? What am I? A farmer? heheh

You're going to want to upgrade the Nav system.

Even the one in my 2004 is outdated and fairly useless at times.

And I agree with John about the rear air option...

 

[GXO]

Oh I will, i think it is just a DVD load right?

 

[cruiser4life]

Yep, super easy. The dealership will do it for you when you have it in for service. Of course, there are cheaper, less legal routes you can go.

 

[GXO]

As with most offroad trails...I am always into the less legal routes

Good recent thread from the 100 section:

Aedgington on the 100 section seems to be the guru with upgrades, tricks, tips, cheats, etc. with the Nav system.

not bad!

hmmm, found a 2002 Benz G500 near my house for an outrageous deal. Know the guys selling it....uuugh. I have always wanted a G

 

[GXO]

Nevermind....I drove the G today...what a heep compared to the cruisers.

 

[informationjunky]

I was going to ask if it had low profile rims and extra tint

 

[GXO]

I have a line in the water on 5 LX470s, so I will leave the Gs to the folks with more money than sense.

I could hear the bearings whining in the diffs at 25 mph!

 

[steenh]

I was looking forward to seeing Dan, a G, Spinners and Slickrock all in one picture.


Oh well...

You ought to be able to find LX and 100's for under $30K all day long. Also, on the 2002 and newer the nav powers almost everything, a/c etc. So if/when it goes out its an expensive repair. For that reason wehn we were considering a 100 a year or so ago, we were going to stick with a 99-01. (98 100's dont have rear a/c)

Something to think about. For price I had a line on 2 different 100's for around $14-$15K over a year ago. SO I know you can get one for under $30K.

Oh, I also reccomend the rear a/c. No telling how many guys on here were trying to tell me ones without rear air arent a big issue. (To be honest I doubt it is when you are the only one riding in the truck.)

I'm curious about the G wagon. I always thought they seemed cool, but cost way too much. But then again to me anything that costs $30K is way too much.

 

[GXO]

G wagons suck, be curious no more. I drove an 02 and it was like driving a mid-80s cruiser.
