Wanted WTB LEXUS LX450

So... since more than a few LX450's have vanished before my eyes, I'll go ahead and throw my hat into the 'beggars corner'.

Prefer a 1997 Lexus LX450, lockers preferred but not required. Prefer better than average condition, lower than industry average miles, well cared for, the usual.

I live in SoCal, so color preference is White, Champagne, or Silver with Oak interior. Black is only cool on Harleys.

Prefer vehicle in CA, but am willing to travel pretty much within the western US for the right one.

Thanks in advance. Let the crapshoot begin.

Great threads in here, BTW. Lots of cool rigs.

How much are you looking to get for it? Does it have the highly sought after front/rear lockers? How is the interior? Undercarriage?

I've seen that one on CL. I'm wondering what happened with the rear window wiper arm? Seems like a random missing piece. I'm on the east coast right now for training. I'll contact the seller when I return. Thanks for the notification.

No, my LX450 does not have the magic dial and electric lockers, only the center diff in low. The interior is good for it's age; the front seats have been covered with sheepskin covers for the last 6 years to preserve the leather, but there is some of the typical driver side wear on the front seat. Dash has some small heat cracks and there is some material missing from the passenger rear door panel. Typical small oil leak underneath.

I am asking 6k

Got pics?? What are you asking? Any issues, defects, rust, etc.? Basically, what will I need to address in the short term.

Thanks.

No pics yet, maybe tomorrow. Everything works on the rig. Lockers engage with no prob. All windows/sunroof work. Getting the EGR replaced and should be ready tomorrow. Average rust underneath, but not too bad. It's pretty much stock except I put 1" Man-a-free Spring spacers and upgraded to Bilstein shocks. Removed the side steps as well, but have them if you want them. Really nothing for you to to do in the short term.
