$24,000 USD / $33,000 CAD - 158k miles.

Well folks, I’m considering selling my LX570 as I am working from home now and it just doesn’t get as much use any more.

2008 Lexus LX570 in Costa Azul Mica Metallic over Grey leather. This colour is exceedingly rare, with only 9 vehicles brought to Canada, and this example is in spectacular condition. Originally purchased from Lexus of Calgary, the car has been an Alberta car since new, with myself being the third owner. Mileage is approximately 255,000 km’s (158,000 miles) and slowly increasing as I drive it.

The vehicle is stock with the exception of a few tasteful upgrades:

• wireless apple CarPlay added to the factory entertainment system
• Dashcam
• Land Cruiser LC200 roof rack
• Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro fog lights
• Full clear bra on front panels

Currently it is on Enkei ST6 wheels with 295 55r20 Toyo Open Country tires that have 1 season on them. Factory wheels with 275 55r20 Toyo Observe GSi winter tires with 1 season on them.

I will include all extra parts I have with the sale, it’s been a great vehicle but I just don’t drive it much now that I am working from home.

Price $24,000 usd

More details and pictures:

1. The accumulator globes were replaced with OEM units last year, and a Lexus OEM windshield was added around the same time, more details can be found in the build thread. This was approximately July 2024
2. I have not done the radiator or waterpump, I did inspect the radiator and added a JB weld barrier for insurance, otherwise I have been monitoring coolant levels and seen no signs of leaking.
3. Before I bought it from my friend, he did brakes on all 4 corners, fluids, battery, etc. with all OEM parts (he works for Toyota) - this was approximately February 2024

Pictures of the frame below, though it isn’t Texas clean, there is no perforation to the frame, and I spray oil based rust treatment in November before the snow flies.

Such a sexy/rare color

Can honestly say, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one here in SoCal

Thanks man, I love it but it seems a waste to only have it to run a couple errands on saturdays. Working from home and moving out to the countryside has basically removed any reason to have a relaxing car to drive because I do so little of it.
