Well you get what you paid for. I flew out to CA from MN for the “clean” 17 with 67k miles. Man that thing was rough. I swallowed my pride and walked away. I’m back on the market! If you see this one pop up make sure you get a good look at it before buying!

Was this the one at Thousand Oaks?
Yes. It was a solid pass for me. All of the trims is popping off, faded, all the rubber bits are falling off. There is some weird paint anamolies making me thing there was paint work. The exhaust is not my thing either. Interior is OK. They told me they put 6.3k into it to make it look that “good”. They should have told me that before hand.

Sorry. That is incredibly frustrating.
I wasn't impressed from the photos you posted.
Yeah they told me it was a Malibu car and they all had light surface rust. This was beyond the surface rust. The carfax was excellent. Great maintenance.
Beware of this truck - in Dallas at Jupiter Chevrolet. Good price and low miles, but the dealership will tell you 'they only use autocheck'. Autocheck on the truck shows no accidents - but when I ran Carfax it came back with a 'moderate' accidnet down the drivers side.
Not to mention - truck has mismatched tires

Don't be scared to post a VIN. It helps future searches:Beware of this truck - in Dallas at Jupiter Chevrolet. Good price and low miles, but the dealership will tell you 'they only use autocheck'.

Time to stoke the flames---get prepared for 200 series prices to decline after Doug Demuro blasts his reliability experience!
(I think I need to mention that I'm being facetious here but I hope this does lessen some of the BaT/carsandbids pricing demand)

I think Doug made some money and got soft. All he does is complain these days and sell cars he said he’d never sell.
Edit: I’m only 9 mins in so unless something big happens, he hit a deer, he let it sit for 60+ days and the alternator died, and then he took it to koons for service…doesn’t sound like the LC’s fault.

Yeah, he had it sitting in Martha's Vineyard for long periods of time and would drive it on the beach and use it as an airport shuttle beater. Not the proper care and feeding for a LC at all.
I watch a lot of Doug's videos, a little long winded but I usually find value with his insight. In this video he has an LC with 100K miles on it and replaced normal wear items as preventive maintenance. Seems his major complaint is what the dealership charged for those repairs and not so much the reliability of the truck other than having the alternator fail twice, witch I agree is unusual but might have something to do with the salt environment it is continually subject to, who knows.

It's an unreasonable expectation for anyone to 1) expect that a 10-year-old vehicle with roughly 100,000+ miles to not have maintenance issues and 2) expect that a vehicle will always be reliable when it is not used regularly and sits for extended periods of time.
Hopefully the scary numbers he paid for maintenance will scare people away from Land Cruiser ownership.
It's also somewhat comical to me that he was under the presumption that Land Cruisers don't require buckets of cash to maintain and operate once they are outside of warranty.

Anyone brave enough to go find the catch on this one? VIN checks out on paper.

Looking at this, 2021 Lexus certified lx570 2 row $54k, good deal? Is rust an issue after only a few years in New Jersey? My last lc had major frame issues, a New York car too long

Yes, it can get affected that fast. Maybe not to the point where something is wrong but it's definitely starting out on the wrong foot.
I don't actually see the carfax in the stuff on the dealer's website. Did you confirm where it lived the first years?

But wow, $54k for a 2021 LX570 (200 series) seems like a great deal.
I got CARFAX and spec sheet. Warranty for 30 months. New Jersey car entire time. Seems like there are better deals on the east coast if you look.

East coast isn't worth it to me due to rust - but that shouldn't stop others if they're cool with it.
Anyone? I am seeing high $50's to $69k in my area.
