Too much rust? (1 Viewer)

[lrlima]

Been looking forever for an LX but came across a pretty nice 2007 GX 470 that will meet my needs. Problem its one Id have to have shipped to me and cant drive beefore purchse. Approx 110k mileage, no accidents, paint and interior look good. But its a NE vehicle. Asked for pics of the underside and seller quickly sent. Described this as surface rust with brake components looking the worst. What do you all think? Would this concern you? Price would be in the 12k neighborhood.

That looks pretty amazing compared to GXs from rust states I was looking at. I'm not sure if those seams are a concern or not, but for reference, this is the kinda stuff I was seeing:

Rust? What rust? That's a really clean undercarriage. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

I have an NE GX. Mine was a 1 owner from PA. It looked clean but every bolt I've had to change has been socked in with rust. Maybe it's the 14 years of use, but try to find as clean of a rig as you can.

Not too much rust at all. A shot of the front rad support would help, as well as one of the rear frame section by the spare tire. That being said, I think the example posted by the OP is pretty mint. Buy/baseline/enjoy.

Usually these ''too much rust'' threads have some horrific photos. I'm dissapointed this time.
