So who picked up the Green LX450 with a blown engine in Show Low? (1 Viewer)

[sjpitts]

I saw the ad on CL, and contacted the seller. The pictures and video he sent made it look very nice.

And based on what the seller said I really wanted to believe that the engine wasn't really blown and that it was something like a leaking oil pump. Or maybe a blown engine plug like the one @cruiserdan had 20 years ago.

And even if it was bad engine maybe it wouldn't be so hard to find a replacement -- especially since I would have 18 months until I needed it done --- because I have 18 months until my son returns and he will be again trying to claim MY LX450.

But I thought about it too long and the seller said someone from Flag picked it today --- and the seller said the buyer is going to put a Cummins 12V in it.

So who was it?

Wasn't me - but if I saw it, I would have jumped on it.
