I always hate these “testing the waters” threads, but with the current pandemic, coupled with the fact that I am looking to replace the LX with a new Mercedes G 63 that has a backlog of orders, and as of lately, all sales have stopped...I guess I am just “testing the waters.”
I purchased my LX In May of 2017 with about 220k miles on it. I have pages of Lexus maintenance records from over the course of its life from the previous owner.
As soon as I purchased it, I had timing belt, crank seals, belts, coolant and pesky heater T replaced by Toyota. I also had the following items installed/replaced/upgraded:

July 2019
Mobil 1 0w-40 oil and filter
replaced air filter
November
Replaced Apps (accelerator pedal position sensor)
Condition: No cracks or tears in the leather, interior is in very good shape, but remember it is 21 years old.
*Exterior is in very good shape, a few scratches/nicks in the paint, but nothing major, see pics. Some rust spots
Upgrades/Mods
*The truck did not have factory nav, so an aftermarket pioneer double din is installed, includes back-up camera, Waze, bluetooth, USB and aux inputs
*Rotopax lockable tool and water container
*Upgraded headlights
*New OEM floor mats in the rear I use a weathertech (not shown)
*I have the third row in storage, no cuts or tears to it
*Stored in heated garage
*Hardwired Ctek charger and battery blanket
Maintenance Records of Significance from PO
6/2011 (Lexus Dealership: A/C leak, repaired
2/2012 (Lexus Dealership): New Plugs, replaced coil
6/2013 (Lexus Dealership): Replaced front pads and machined rotors, replaced trailer wiring convertor, replaced muffler with OEM
4/2015: Replaced Rear Rotors and pads, brake fluid flush
05/2016 (Toyota Dealership): Replaced both CV axles, replaced power steering rack, replaced power steering lines, 4-wheel alignment
Various Ride Height system maintenance records prior to PO replacing with an aftermarket system, that was then replaced with the OME parts
*I have service records back to 98 from Lexus
Cons:
1) The “D” light is burned out
2). E Brake Is disconnected/snapped
3). It slowly seeps oil around the valve cover gasket, I bought the gaskets, just have been too lazy to install. The leak is so minimal the oil level is not affected between changes.
4) Some rust spots, see photos (nothing structural)
5) Obviously Ride Height Control is no longer
6) It does not have the optional rear locker that some of them do, but does have LSD.
I would not hesitate to drive this anywhere, it has been a great vehicle for me.
Asking 10k OBO. More pics to come
