I have a '97 LX450 ... just adding lots of odds and ends of new parts courtesy of Cruiserdan (thanks!) with the expectation of keeping this one going for a long time yet.
As usually happens, after getting all the bits and pieces for the 450, I see a nice looking 2003 LX470 on a local lot. The odometer says about 41,000 miles. The tires are Dunlop (I assume the factory originals) but are pretty much worn out. Does this sound right? My factory original Michelins had well over 70k miles and looked good for another 70k when I changed them. I was surprised to see this sort of advanced wear on the Dunlops and was wondering if that seemed normal to folks on this list.
thanks very much!
ps should I keep the '97 450 or go to the 2003 470... I am really torn here... the LX450 has been the best vehicle I have ever owned fwiw.
