Asking $38K. This is a broadly restored 1996 Lexus LX450 that was fixed to address any potential mechanical issues and to restore it cosmetically. I have always loved the F80 series of Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX450 and decided to restore and build a very robust and reliable over-lander and daily driver. I set out to create the nicest F80 possible with the intent of creating a vehicle that would last a very long time and be very reliable. I started with finding the lowest mileage F80 in the US. Looked for a year before finding it. I essentially went with the mentality to replace anything and everything that was not perfect or was in need of any attention because I was expecting to keep it for a very long time. I wanted a vehicle that could drive to Alaska or Chile. I did nearly everything mechanical through State Automotive, Land Cruiser specialist in Utah.
