Sale Pending - 1999 Lexus LX470 with 291K miles for sale as-is. Car runs, but port side head gasket is blown - suspected cause a cylinder 5 misfire (car is burning coolant). It has not been driven since the failure, only moved briefly.
Car has been owned by the same family since 2005 and has been in Texas its whole life. No rust on undercarriage or body. Never been off-roaded, mostly highway miles, garage kept 80% of the time. It’s in good cosmetic shape. This was my primary vehicle until 2017 when I purchased an LX570 and used this one as a commuter to keep miles off my LX570. I was in the process of restoring and converting the LX470 to a coffee getter when the failure happened. Had plans to fix myself but have realized I’m not going to have the time or space for a job this big.
