Proud recently new owner of a 2000 LX470 with 247,000ish miles, figured I’d make a “build” thread of all the repairs/mods.
After looking for a 100 series cruiser locally in the Midwest for a couple months and looking at a few that were rust buckets, in October 2020 I found this 2000 LX470 out in Virginia at a used car dealer
Owner was extremely helpful and put it up on a lift to show me the underside and tested the oil pressure manually (gauge was inop)
So like a madman told him I’d take it and flew out there on a Friday.
Little rust on the weld seams but amazing compared to anything local.
Seller was nice enough to pick me up at the airport and take a 45min test drive back to the dealership, I was instantly sold on the ride quality.
After paperwork and getting temp plates it was around 5pm. quick stop at Walmart for supplies and started on the 1,064 mile drive home.
