2001 gray Lx470 with 231,000 miles.
Purchased as 3rd owner in Feb 2020 for $7,500. It's my wife's daily driver but she wants to sell because we've had some issues and she is about to start commuting a lot.
We have put an additional $5,000 plus in repairs and maintenance into it since purchasing.
Transmission failed at 213,000. Replaced with a 98 model donor that had 158K
No issues since
Did timing belt water pump, plugs, thermostat, heater tees, fuel filter, belt and hoses at 216K
Recently had both inner tie rods and one outer tie rod replaced as well as front brakes and an alignment done in effort to address an isolated one time incident where the abs or vsc system may have caused a sudden swerve while we were driving on the highway.
Issue has not returned.
Today my wife had a crank but no start issue which I believe may be the efi fuse issue but not sure.
She's over us putting money into it. I kind of am as well.
I understand it's a 20 year old vehicle and I expected to put some money into it but $5k plus worth of repairs and maintenance in 14 months and now a new no start issue. It's too much.
That said, the truck is in really nice shape inside and out for its age. It was owned by a doctor here in town and while some service history was lacking i.e. timing belt service record it's just immediately obvious when you look it over that is has been cared for.
So with the the info concerning condition, issues, maintenance and repairs done what would you ask for a 2001 Lx470 that you had close to $13,000 in?
