Holy smokes batman! 32,000miles? wow.

That is one of the cleanest, lowest mileage 80's around. Amazing.
 
daaaaaaammmmn is right, looks like one of those rare "Barn" finds or something. What's the story on this one? Sitting in somebodies garage for years not driven? elderly couple?. Somebody was Religionist with the care of this one.
 
As the story goes. Millionaire Buddhist member (original owner) of a Los Angeles Buddhist temple sold (I think donated) the vehicle to the temple in 2002 with only 19K miles. The Buddhist Monk (female) (second owner) then used to LX 450 to drive the members of the temple around town for the usual errands and such. The monk then listed the LX 450 on Craigslist, with the help of another member of the temple, the monk spoke little English, a couple of months ago. I am the third lucky owner.
 
Yup. The post came up on Craiglists on Friday May 13, 2011. I went over to the temple on Saturday May 14 and gave the monk my deposit. My wife said, " You will never find another LC/LX like this in your life. GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I came back on Monday May 16 to pick it up after the truck had been smogged. I drove it home from Los Angeles and noticed the pulsation when I applied the brakes. Had the front and rear disks machined and swapped all fluids except coolant. It drives like a dream!!!!!!!
 
Thanks gfox. I hope you get that front end stuff fixed and done on the Bubuja.

Thanks man. I am sure that someone will lend a hand soon. My brake pads are still good enough for another couple of weeks but the light came on a while ago. Enjoy that LX and have fun eventually mod'ing it.

Regards,

GF
