So I went on and bought a 2001 LX470 today. I made a thread a few days ago about potentially buying it. Final price was $8,500 with 20" Tundra wheels, new tires. And the factories with, honestly, great tread but they're mismatch. Don't know if it's two sets of two or just random tires. I hope not the latter.
Anyway, I'll wash it tomorrow (maybe) have a ton of packing to do, I might have to wait once we get back to the states. But I've already spotted a few things, you know the things you notice AFTER you've gave the money. Here's a short list:
- Rust spots, about the size of... not a dime, maybe 1/4 of a dime is about the biggest I saw. He dabbed it with color matching paint so I didn't notice.
- Seems to be running better every time I drive it. I believe him when he said it sat.
- About it sitting, it obviously sat in the hot Puerto Rican sun because those front seats.. OH BOY! Feel like sandpaper. I'm going to experiment with a treatment tomorrow. Castor oil/Coconut oil mix. All natural and VERY moisturizing. Should work perfectly.... it should.
- Needs hood struts which I knew.
- Here's the big thing for me, there is a clank sound, not clunk, but clank when I go over speed bumps rom the rear. The driveshaft also has some seepage, how serious it is, I was hoping you guys could help.
