Well I pulled the trigger on an LX450 here in town (Orlando) from the Lexus Dealer.
1997, Lockers, 138K Green/Gray New Tires.
Service records in hand. Very well maintained. Inspected very well.
You guys may not believe me but I'm going to tell you anyways for some encouragement to those hunting a locked 80/LX. I talked the guy down from $13,900 to $7,400.
That’s not a typo, the truck had been for sale for 2 weeks and it was going to auction, dealer didn't want an old one on the lot I guess and I knew what the wholesale was on it and made an offer of $6,500. Hung the phone up with that as my final offer 3 times thinking they probably wouldn't call back it went from $13,900 to $10,500 to $7,800 to finally $7,400 after I inspected it at my mechanics shop.
Just remember there is never a bottom on the price!!
Now it’s not perfect. It does have a clear title and all but there are a few scratches on it. Interior is in awesome shape. I pulled the running boards off and extended the breathers this weekend. I’m going to be putting on an OME heavy kit soon I hope.
I'm pretty sure I got a pretty good deal for the rig.
Couple of pics when we worked on the truck this weekend.
