Did I just find the highest mileage 100 series ever? (1 Viewer)

[Sakhr]

I was saying I don't think CO issues salvage title. If you can get title to that thing and get it out here for VIN inspection, I bet we could work out a transaction.

Are the plates on it current?

Think you can buy it? Who has current title - owner, or insurance co?

Rear locker?

I can definitely buy it. The insurance company is the current owner and it will go into Auction at some point in the near future I think. Here is what you can do, call your local DMV and ask them if you get a truck with a Tennessee no-repairable certificate, can they register it and give you a title? If yes, I can buy it, fix it and send it to you so you can register it since you are a resident.

As far as I know we have none of those in WA

Can you do us a favor and call your local dmv as well? See what they will say about it.

Certainly!

I bet if someone called the dealership service guys they would remeber this truck. It’s so unique.

Frame damage and tires that wownt go back into alignment can be a major pain. If you have to straight the frame...

 

[suprarx7nut]

That's gotta be some light frame damage. Somebody fix 'er up!

My buddy owns the "million mile Lexus" - I say fix it and keep driving it... We can get the two together with the million mile tundra.

It will be a pain but it is fixable. I may end up taking it to the dealership because they have the frame machine with the computer there and they will get it back to factory measurement with no problem. It could cost a little extra but in this case, I think its worth it.

Better idea is to utilize one of the great fabricators on MUD and SAS it.

For anyone curious, I love this idea and it's a fun, quick read: I've Been Using a 950,000-Mile Lexus as a Daily Driver - Autotrader

Same dealership that the first owner of my 04LC used for all service up to 100K – pretty cool.

Rear locker?

Solid Axle Swap, aka the Slee Blueberry...

Unfortunately, it's wrecked.

Also, it looks like the damage went above the frame rails, but not enough to break the glass headlights?

Not sure about that. I have more pictures I will upload once I get home.

 

[Sakhr]

Rear locker?

You can’t see that from the pictures. But correct me if I’m wrong, the last year came out with the rear lockers was 99. Right?

 

[Sakhr]

Also, if anyone from Memphis here and can go inspect this truck and take some more pictures please let me know. I can call the Auction and have them let you in to inspect it. I’ll be more than happy to pay for your time and expenses.

I was talking with my friend who is with the CO State Patrol, he thinks if I bought this and went to title it in CO, the door jam has to be stamped "Rebuilt From Salvage".

 

[BudgetLC]

I don't believe you will be able to get a title for it until it has been repaired and inspected. At that time, Colorado will issue a "Rebuilt from Salvage" title. I have bought a couple of cheap cars with that type title.
