Pre-Sale Advice (again, THANKS!)

[SkiVT]

Hey all,

I continue my search for an LX, and have set my sights on something a bit fresher. I am currently looking at a 2013 with just 60k. 1 owner, full maintenance. NE car, so the rust is a concern.

I received pictures today, and am looking for some feedback from y'all. I realize the general feeling here is any rust is too much, but I live in VT, and salt is a reality here. I do plan to treat the underside before winter hits.

Thanks for the feedback!

SOLD - CA 2009 Toyota LC Dark Grey / Grey

oh sorry, i see, recent model years only. got it. I'll stop.
They aren't regular cars, maintenance and condition far more important than mileage

That's a nice rig for someone. Looks like it has been well taken care of. Perfect fly and buy, assuming you could safely drive it home in this day and age... Can people fly these days? I haven't my left the house in weeks...

Looks about like my '13 underneath. I think that's about par for the course up here. Low mileage though! Definitely a step up from the last one.

I don't think that's too bad, not a deal breaker. If it's not local, get some eyes on it that you trust. If you can get it for a price that you are comfortable with, then go for it. Then get it oiled.

 

[SkiVT]

Yeah, neither flying nor long distance driving are are my list of things to do at the moment.

Thanks for the feedback.

Well I have twice gone and fetched Cruisers for buyers and delivered. One was to northern VT.

 

[nwfl4runner]

Depends on price.

Keep looking in California or Texas. You can find a clean one with perfect underside.
