2001 LX470. Asking $14,900. Please contact (86four)-78o-3 forty-four 1.
I purchased it in January 2021 at 148000 miles and have driven on average about 6000 miles per year, but less recently since I now have a second vehicle. I still drive 100-200 miles per month so I will update the mileage as it changes. Carfax attached.
Vehicle has been driven in snow-free climates other than a 13-month period between 2022 and 2023, during which time I had an underbody coating applied. Clean underbody with minimal rust (I don't know what the threshold for "zero" rust is but it seems close). Working AHC; I run it once every few months. I've driven it "off-road" on farms or dirt roads less than 10 times. Working power seats, sunroof, windows, doors, and locks. Working air conditioning. Tires are Nokian Rotiiva, purchased in January 2021, so they have about 28000 miles on them (I used snow tires for a few months). The spare tire is also the Nokian Rotiiva.
Paint has some scratches, repairs, and peeling in places. Window and roof rack trim are cracking due to sun. Front seats have aftermarket covers because the leather has ripped and cracked. Power steering has a minor leak (I have filled the fluid in December 2023 and again in March 2025 and haven't had an issue since). Toyota dealer said it's minor enough that it can be left alone and just have the fluid refilled as needed. I bought the OEM pump to replace, and serpentine belt since it has to be taken off anyway, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Minor accident reported in 2002 by the original owner.
I have performed all routine maintenance and the following repairs since owning:
