re: Land Cruiser...would you buy it?

Yeah I agree. Land Cruisers have some really nice leather but the Lexus is a different level. Also you get air conditioned seats (came to the LC in '13), electric flipping second row and electric folding 3rd row seats. Makes a difference.
First thing to do if I had to "settle" for an LX is get some 18" LC wheels and BFGs.

Agreed, that does make a difference. Looks sharp with the bfgs.

Pic didn't show up, but that's alseems to be a good deal. Probably at the very upper end of the budget though.

Also keep in mind that the pre-08 Land Cruisers have a timing belt that needs to be changed every 100,000 miles. 08 and after have a timing chain.

There's 96 LX 570's and 68 Land Cruisers on it.

I gotcha. Are you a dealer?
Posted on 3/15/17 at 10:48 am to DownSouthDave
I've got my salesman license and buy under my father's dealer license.
I picked up a nice Lexus GX 470 at auction last night. I'm partial to Lexus.

Ahhhh.
How much work do dealers put into cars they sell used? I would feel nervous about buying a car from an auction. Is that just in my head? Am I giving dealerships too much credit?

That's awesome. Appreciate the offer. And you wouldn't have any problem buying one with 100k on it already? I think that's the biggest hangup for her. It sounds so high.
Just talked to my friend who's a master mechanic and knows a ton about land cruisers. He said there have been a few recalls and technical service bulletins but nothing major. 100,000 on that truck is nothing.

That can get too expensive and time consuming. I usually go to the auction the day before and test drive what I'm interested in. If it's got mechanical problems, I pass. Not worth the time and money.

The key to buying a used vehicle is to test drive it thoroughly, not just around the block, take on a highway and up to cruising speed. And more importantly, take it to a mechanic and have them drive it and maybe put it on the rack and check underneath.
When I sell a vehicle, I suggest this to the buyers. If they find something wrong, I'll fix it.

Is the LX 470 the equivalent of the LC?
Posted on 3/16/17 at 2:32 pm to TopWaterTiger
I think the 570 is the Lexus version.

From 1999 to 2007 it was. In 2008, with the new body style, it became the LX 570.
(4.7L to 5.7L engine).
