Selling our beloved 2005 Lexus LX470. 3 owner vehicle that we have had since about 50k miles, it has 203k now.

203k+ miles
$14,000 obo

The Bad:
  • Has a couple interior blemishes including a tear in the back of the driver seat that is the biggest of issues
  • The electric steering wheel adjustment goes up and down, but sometimes does not go forward/back. Not sure if it is a loose wire or what
  • Spare tire has been removed as the area was not big enough to have a full size matching spare.
  • Carfax shows 3 accidents
    • We got rear ended in 2013 at about 90k miles. very minor paint work required, but they went through their insurance so it's on the report
    • The left side damage is on there by error, we never had left side damage so not sure how that got on there.
    • The front end damage was someone with bad tires sliding into us at the ski hill. again, just paint work, but it shows up on the carfax.
The Good:
  • Carpet and all weather floor mats
  • Extra set of wiper blades
  • Two sets of wheels - the stock 18's and black moto metal 18's. I have 5 of the stock wheels as one was the spare. The black wheels are currently mounted. If you don't want the black wheels I'll keep them to sell, but you get both sets with a full price purchase. Stock wheels are included with the car.
    • BFG KO2 275/70 mounted on black rims. I think they are at 5-7mm right now. If this is critical info let me know and I'll measure.
    • The tires on the stock rims are about spent if I remember correctly
  • Lighting upgrades
    • LED light bars work great. I have them on a switch where if the switch is ON, then the light bars work with the high beams for easy on/off. If the switch is OFF then they will not come on with the high beams. I LOVE this setup, so easy, and they are very bright.
    • Professionally installed Xenon bulbs and all the necessary equipment.
    • Bright yellow fog light upgrade
  • Maintenance (milage listed below are estimates)
    • Last 5k service done at ~200k
    • Last 15k service done at ~195k
    • Last 30k service done at ~180k
    • Last 60k service done at ~180k
    • Last 90k service done at ~180k (timing belt)
    • Review the service manual, or I can post the info here if you need it as to what is done at each service.
    • Any time the dealer / service center recommended a core service I took care of it. Example: the steering rack had a cut in the boot, so we took care of it (core issue). The steering wheel adjustment is a 'nice to have' vs something that would affect the vehicle running or safety so that has not been done (see above).
    • New coolant hoses at 180k
    • Installed new height control sensor at 190k as those go bad every 100k or so.
    • Did the axle shaft assemblies at around 170k
    • We may have done other things over the years, but this is what I can remember :)
  • How does it run?
    • Always garaged.
    • I would have zero reservations driving my family cross country, or the northern tip of Alaska next week in the vehicle.
    • Fantastic in the snow, we are a skiing family and have driven in some horrible conditions and always felt confident. - 4wd works great
    • I've gone off pavement probably 100 miles in its life, and never something more difficult than a Rav4 could have done. IE. It has not been abused
    • Most of the miles are long trips - San Diego twice, Arizona once, Colorado several times, etc. We've hit many of the national parks west of Denver
    • We bought the car when my son was born and now he is in High School and we don't need a big SUV anymore. It really has not been driven much in the last 6 months, but I still take it out on a nice drive about every 10 days.
    • Will consider delivering under the right conditions - reach out and we can discuss

Title I have in hand, and appears clean. Happy to answer any questions you have. Hope to find a great home for it, we'll miss it.

I will post in other locations within a few days.
