First I apologize if I shouldnt be posting this, but I've been going back and forth in my mind the last week and I need some objective advice. It's 1996 LX450, 111,000 miles. No lockers. Guy on a different forum is selling it and he's about 600 miles away so I want to be pretty close to sure I'm getting it before I drive out there. He's asking $6,000. Also I remember when he bought it 3 years ago and it had the accident damage, so I know he didnt buy it just to flip it, it was his personal car.
Heres some details he gave me:
Heres some details he gave me:
It's got two minor scrapes on the bumper cover. It's black.
I own a body shop, and I bought it after someone scraped it down the side on a parking garage pole or something. I have pics of the damage when I bought it. All factory parts and good title. I replaced the doors and had it painted.
There's a small stain in the back seat, looks like a pen burst in someone's pocket, it's small and not really noticable, and can likely be cleaned out or dyed over, but I thought I would mention it.
There's a door ding in the driver's door, you can only see it be looking down the body toward a light source, but it's there.
There's a small crack in the driver taillight lens. Not even enough to fix, and it's a red lens over a red bulb, but still. It's like a star shaped rock chip in a windshield.
The stuff above the very rear window on the driver's side is just adhesive. I parked on the street one fxxxing night, and some crackhead busted that window and stole the change out of console. I used body masking tape to tape plastic over it while waiting on new factory glass from a euro model (No cell phone antenna, so it opens), I got the glass in, and drove it for two days and someone broke into my apartment building garage and cut off a bunch of catalytic converters, of course mine was one of them, lol. It's been one of those months
There's normal wear on the driver's seat. It's clean, and it's not cracked open or anything, but there's the "wrinkling" a little on the seat cushion by the door where you put your weight when you get in. Aside from that, and the small spot in the second row seat that will likely come out, the interior is probably an 8/10.
There's no rust at all. I have a rack, and I've been all over it and under it a bunch of times.
Lemme see...
It's missing one of the wheel center caps, I keep forgetting to replace it, it's $30 at Lexus.
It has one size over stock Dunlop Radial Mud Rovers on stock wheels, the tires have about 15k on them. Still tons of tread.
Unless I'm forgetting something, that's literally every single minor flaw.
