Ok, I think I finally have found my Hundy.
Seller is asking $15K - 2001 LX 470 with 130k miles, No Nav, has ML stereo and tow package. NADA for this model and mileage unit is $19,200 so it's under the NADA value. It's a Carfax certified one owner, for whatever that means, I guess the original owner traded it in and it's been passed around from dealer to wholesaler which is where I found it.
I did my test drive and the engine pulled nice and strong, no strange sounds from the drive system, AHC works fine, I can't tell if the suspension settings for comfort/sport work, I don't notice a difference. There are cosmetic issues, but I don't think those are a big deal. I'm having the seller drop it off at a local Toyota dealer for an inspection tomorrow to confirm the vehicle's mechanical condition.
Needs to be cleaned in a major way. There was water in the driver's floorboards which the seller says the window may have been let down, Is there any good way to test the weather stripping other than taking a waterhose to it?
Might end up having to replace the leather, I know there is a vendor on here that will replace, not sure I want to incur that expense right now, for the time being they are serviceable.
The carpets are pretty nasty too, has anyone replaced their carpets before?
The antenna is broken, the ML subwoofer is blown, maybe some of the other speakers are blown.
The steering wheel wobbles when the breaks are applied, I think the rotors or pads need to be inspected.
Any thoughts on the price? I figure about 1-2k to get the breaks, cosmetic and stereo issues figured out.
Very little rust under the rig, no broken seals around the CV boots, shocks appear to be functioning fine.
