Anyone near Godspeed motors in Charlotte, NC?

[doctorres112]

We are still in the hunt for a used LC, found one there I'm very interested in and was hoping someone could give it a once over. Looks like it was sold in MD and am mostly concerned for rust.

Looks like maybe 3 owners on the Carfax, 2nd/3rd owner only kept it for 4 months. Someone posted a low mile 19 on here for only a few thousand more.

For some reason I can’t see CarMax in Afghanistan even when using a VPN. I plugged the VIN on toyota owners and it looked good from a service standpoint.

I’m not seeing the ‘19 for sale on here. Link?

Thanks in advance for replying. Being deployed I’m trying to get this done for the wife before I come home.

Someone linked it on your last thread, a 19 is out of my reach but this would be one I would be interested in, especially so close to your budget. I believe it is a 19 with low miles going for 72k.

Attached the Carfax of this 17.

Thanks for posting the Carfax. I wonder if it was sold due to the recall for seatbelt fix that took forever to come to a solution.

Hoping I can get someone to look at the undercarriage. I go back to the other thread and check out the ‘19

If my wife had her choice, she wants blue on brown.

About $11,000 more and you can buy a new one. It is only money

I am near GodSpeed if you want someone to run over and check it out. The dealership has a reputation of asking (and usually getting) a slight premium for vehicles because they seem to be pretty selective about the cars they sell. My friend just bought a convertible Audi RS4 from them a few weeks ago.

 

[doctorres112]

Yes, if you don't mind that would be awesome.

[NLScooby]

Yes, Sir! I'll try to get out there either this evening or tomorrow at lunch.

 

[doctorres112]

Thank you very much. If you have an iphone you can imessage me at doctorres112@icloud.com
I'm still in Afghanistan so will be being whichever 200 series I choose from over here. Your assistance is much appreciated.

@doctorres112 I checked out the rig yesterday evening. I took several photos of the underside and a few of some suspension components and other spots that I know are prone to rust (even the infamous KDSS accumulator valves). I got so carried away I even took it for a test drive - for good measure and then something strange happened.... I bought it.

Just kidding! It's a very clean rig and didn't have any noteworthy rust at all. Someone did apply some sort of coating to the outer part of the frame rails - which I don't know if it was put as a protective measure or to cover something up, but based on the condition of the other areas - it doesn't appear to be a cover up job. The rear axle was spotless, as were a number of other parts and fasteners that typically rust even in the desert on these things.

I took some photos of a few scuffs on both corners of the rear bumper and of some interior scuffs on the handle of the center console. Aside from a slight interior odor, she is a beautiful Land Cruiser. I was trying to identify the odor and I don't know if it was the rear rubber mat, or the armour-all type of product they coated the WeatherTech's with, or what. It wasn't strong - but it was something I just noticed it when I first got in. I didn't notice it after being in it for a few minutes - my guess is it'll go away once you toss some kids in there!

The dealership applied a generous layer of armour-all on exterior (and under-hood) plastic surface imaginable, but it looked and drove like a vehicle with only 11,500 miles...quiet and confident. The engine bay was spotless.

I'll try sending the photos and the name of the Operations Manager I spoke with to your imessage account above.

You are welcome! I sent the photos - let me know if you didn't receive them and I'll post the photos here if you like....

 

[NLScooby]

OK - posting here since I can't seem to get them to go through "the normal way"

1) Looking up at the KDSS accumulator and seeing the valves...tiny bit of rust - nothing unusual.
2) Looking from drivers side forward under vehicle...notice some undercoating on outer side of frame rail...
3) Looking up at passenger side rear frame - tiny specs of surface rust
4) Rear axle - looks fantastic...
5) Front of passenger side front suspension (lower control arm, etc...) - clean...
