Arrived back in California from Denver after purchasing this 2005 LC with 86k miles (now 87k). Every 100 miles I stopped and put gas so baaically half tank. At everystop and checkes under the car for leaks before/after filling up gas. NO LEAKS. However I did find some small problems that need fixing. Dont seem major except one. But any advice would help. Also open to entertaining questions as well. Or picture requests.
\*\*\*\*MOST of these issues were brought up to me I just disregarded because of the mileage to be honest. I want something to keep me busy so these issues werent too big of a deal. They did work with me because of the windshield.
\- Sunroof does not open (called two companies, seems not worth fixing since I dont use it, might seal it up.
- Gauge cluster: when I drove and the speed gauge just stayed at 0 I had to use my google maps that gave me real time speed. But after stopping in St George it started working for the rest of the trip. Not sure what the fix for that is.
\- Huge crack on window, was noted by Toyota, said they are selling it as is and too many people were offering so they didnt have time to repair. But they did help me a little for that.
Minor issues:
\- Sound system sucks but will be upgraded in time
\- Interior for being an 05 is in really good condition but hate the color. But have to suck it as im not paying over 5k to change it all.
\- 3rd brake light cracked. Easy fix it seems
Positives:
\- Smooth ride
\- again dont know a damn thing about vehicles but theres is a suspension on it which I appreciated. They also gave me some tires and rims from a tundra. Some guy bought a tundra but wanted bigger tires so they took the stock ones off and put it on the LC. Which I appreciated.
\- NO RUST and LOW MILEAGE...This thing looked beautiful underneath. So story about both rust and low mileage. The finance person helping me said he was the guy that helped the previous owner. He said the LC sat in a garage since he worked from home and only used it to go to the grocery store. But his wife wanted a new Seqouia. After the deal was done I told him one sold for 48k and had 112k miles. He said Toyota just tries to sell them and move inventory. The previous owner also didnt want to deal with the hassle so he just traded.
