97 LX 450 with 88,000 miles. One wonder San Diego car. This Lexus was owned by the founder of Gateway computers. I recently bought it from his wife At Home With Joan Waitt
She was selling off about ten cars and I jumped at the chance to pick up this Lexus. It was basically being used by her butler to drive her kids to and and from school. It spent its whole life in San Diego expect for two years when it was stored at their vacation property in South Dakota. I have a huge packet of maintenance receipts. She has it very well maintained and it shows. It is in amazing shape. The only major flaws are a scuff mark on each side of the front bumper.
Interior is perfect. AC is ice cold. It cruised 80 mph all the way home to Vegas easily. In fact I made the mistake of letting my wife drive it and she has decided she'd rather drive the Lexus than our Prius! The tires are new. I can provide the maintenance history for anyone interested.
Selling because the plan was to build this into a milder expo rig to take to Baja and South America. But I just have too much time and money in my cruiser and can't justify selling it and starting over. My loss your gain.
$14,500. Would prefer to sell to a IH8mud member as opposed to somebody off Ebay who won't appreciate it.
