Buying a 2015 lx570, what are your opinions on this rust? (11 Viewers)

Hey all,

I live here in Canada so buying a rust free lx570 is pretty difficult. I found this 2015 and the seller was nice enough to send me photos of the frame.

It's got 90,000 miles on it and a clean Carfax. Would you buy it for $32k USD or pick a cleaner one?

I would walk away personally. That rear cross member does not look pretty.

How difficult is it for you to import a US vehicle?

It's not difficult, it's just extremely cost prohibitive for me to do so. I'm not sure how the tariffs impact the import process as well

I’m pretty tolerant of rust (at least on other people’s vehicles), but this one is too much. It would be worth attempting to find one that’s been better cared for.

Not terrible for Canuckistan, but if you're not in a hurry, I'd keep looking.

As someone who's pretty tolerant to salty and rusty cruisers. This is horrible for a 10 yr old 200 series. You need to get yourself a plane ticket to Kelowna or Vancouver and pay a premium for those LXs on that area. This one looks like something out of Montreal or something.

The ones about of Kelowna are nice because they're usually some Albertans or BC persons 3rd house car for ski trips and summer trips to the vineyard. Equivalent to the Colorado ski house Cruisers that pop up for sale.

Nope

Ugh... that is tough to see... in absence of other ones you could deal with this, but it will be a lifetime of pain.
Walk away if you can.

Exactly where I'm looking now, even Ontario lx570s that are 3 years old look like s*** compared to 10 yr old BC lx570s

This is more than just surface rust -- I would pass. You can find ones that the previous owner had undercoated, which should help

You can get one with way less rust.
