Hey everyone, I'm getting close to buying my first cruiser. I have been looking around for a while and I think I found one that seems like a good deal. Just wanted to get some opinions and see what I should be looking out for.
Here is the link: 2004 Lexus LX 470 Sport Utility - Bay Shore Used Auto Sales in Virginia Beach, VA
From what I can see it looks to be in decent shape, I looked up service records and the last owner kept it serviced at the dealership. I have reached out to this dealer and asked for pics underneath to get an idea of how much rust if any is present.
From what I have read it looks like the biggest things to look out for are:
Timing Belt: looks like it was done at 90k but not since so its about due
AHC: what should I be looking for here?
Steering rack: looks like a new one was put in at the dealer around 132k miles
Brake Vacuum pump: I know to listen for weird noises when first starting up but doubt the dealer will be any help until I go see it.
Heater Ts: done at 153k
Its about a 4.5hr drive from me so I dont want to waste a day on something thats not worth it. What else do I need to consider before committing to making the trip? Thanks for any advice I look forward to your thoughts.
