Got a 2002 LX 470 that I'm really looking forward to having as my new daily driver! Currently driving a Grand Marquis that I'm in the process of selling now as even though I loved that car I missed the feeling of my GX that I had to get rid of. But instead of just going back to the same truck I figure I give the LX a try especially since I absolutely love it in white.
It's got a few things that need some TLC like a sensor in the AHC system needing replacement but thankfully the seller is actually giving me the sensor he had ordered for free. He gave me a container of AHC fluid for free as well. The back end has a tolerable but bouncy ride since he had disconnected the current sensor to prevent it from riding very high and apparently a lot worse.
When turning it almost sounds like the turn signal stock or some other plastic piece is jumbling around a bit.
Interior has a good amount of wear and tear so definitely going to get some seat covers to make it look much nicer. As the driver's seat looks like it went through World War 3 but it's surprisingly still very comfortable!
There's a leak in the windshield to where wind noise comes through. I poured water all over the windshield and the stripping around it and nothing came in that I could see so that's great but the little bit of wind noise at lower speeds is bothersome for it being a Lexus. I assume it's a windshield job having not been optimally done.
I love the white on these but this one has some paint flaws that I'd just want touched up at a body shop near me.
And last and probably least, the wipers seem to rest a bit high? Or maybe it's just me! Anyway I'm really excited!

I am going to put in a new front hood seal as it is pretty well worn out. Everything is intact around the windshield and it has never been replace nor does it leak. I thought that it might be the air moving past the windshield wipers or side mirrors? I don't know....
