I've got a nice used Lexus LX470 with low miles (139,500) for sale. I've done lots of baseline maintenance on it and was planning on keeping it. My family is growing by 1 more soon, and I can only have one Land Cruiser. So here's the info....

The Good:

  • All OEM Parts
  • New Timing Belt
  • New Waterpump
  • New Thermostat
  • New Toyota Red Radiator Fluid
  • New Valve Cover Gaskets
  • New Spark Plugs
  • New Power Steering Rack
  • New Tie Rod ends
  • New front OEM U joints and balance driveshaft
  • New Air Filter
  • New Cabin Filter
  • New Strong Arm Hood Support Struts
  • Pfran LED Interior Light Kit
  • New 285/75-17 Nitto Terra Grapplers
  • New Method Racing Wheels (Double Standard)
  • Garmin Nuvi Navigation and a Cell Phone Dock
  • Plastidip coated Front Grill, Mirrors and Rear Lexus Emblem
  • New Optima Battery
  • Replaced Transfer Case and Rear Axle oil with Synthetic

The Bad

  • Paint Faded on Roof in many spots
  • Front DS CV boot leaks
  • Small Crack (1/2"-3/4") in dash
  • Tilt Wheel Function not working (not the fuse)
  • Steering Wheel has some wear
  • Wood Trim pc on Drivers Side door switch cracked and repaired
  • Front Seats a little worn
  • D light out in dash when it's in Drive (I have the bulbs)

I have a few extra parts and planned on doing more to it before we had a baby coming.

Parts:

  • Front Mud Flaps (OEM)
  • 2 volume Factory Service Manual from Lexus
  • AHC Fluid (was going to flush the system)
  • 2 Wheel Spacers 1-1/4" (not sure if I needed them)
  • Factory Running Boards (took them off)

I had some plans for this rig. Armor it with new front and rear bumpers. Replace CV boots. New Stereo Unit Double DIN. Skid Plates. I just have to stop working on it and stick to my FZJ80 that I've had for a while. I was going to sell it and keep the LX, but I'm attached to the 80, so the LX must go.

Let me know if you want to come by and check it out or call if you have any questions.

Maintenance I would still do to complete baseline....

  1. Transmission service
  2. Flush AHC system
  3. Flush brake fluid
  4. Replace CV boots
After that, you should be good to go for a long time. 
For an additional $300, I could include a full stainless exhaust system from the exhaust manifolds back. 
Good Luck!!

I want to disclose everything I know about this vehicle. I picked it up at an auction last December with plans to keep it and sell by FZJ80. If you check the Carfax, it shows that it was in an accident. From what I can tell, it was the front Driver side corner. I know that the Driver's side fender was replace and maybe the hood. I can't find the factory stickers on those. I did not see any signs of damage too far in, so it must have been not too bad. It did have a new headlight put in on the Driver's side since it looks newer than the other one. It's probably why the hood is not faded and the roof is. The brakes are at around 70%. 


On Mar-21-14 at 14:48:11 PDT, seller added the following information:

I have this for sale locally, so I can end the Auction at any time. I'd advise coming by to see it.......It's sold AS IS....no warranty..

Consumer Reports: Toyota expected to announce fix for emergency trunk releases

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

According to Consumer Reports, Toyota is set to release a fix for trunk release pulls on certain Lexus vehicles that could snap off in an emergency. As you may recall, CR found the federally-mandated emergency releases could break if pulled toward the user. As it turned out, the trunk surround behaved like a fulcrum, putting more force against the center of the release than toward the trunk mechanism itself. While the organization found the problem to exist on 2013 Lexus ES and GS, Toyota was able to replicate the flaw on the IS as well.
Toyota will alert 700,000 owners of 2007-2013 Lexus ES models, 2006-2012 IS vehicles and 2013 GS cars and replace the old ABS plastic release with a sturdier polypropylene part free of charge once the components are available to dealers. The service campaign is expected to begin in January.

Vice chronicles Okinawa's illegal street racing scene

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

We all know that street racing is dangerous, and that motorsports are best left on the track or drag strip. However, that doesn't mean that there still isn't some outlaw allure among enthusiasts of racing on public roads. In this video, Vice Japan profiles Eikichi Nagayoshi of Japan's island of Okinawa. He is a used car dealer by day and an illegal racer by night.
Nagayoshi has a deep love for his highly customized Toyota Aristo (better known to us as a first-generation Lexus GS) that he claims produces over 1,000 horsepower and has hit 205 miles per hour. He races his car both on drag strips and in drifting competitions, but says that he often has to ship the car to mainland Japan to compete. In the absence of those opportunities, he sometimes gathers friends and takes the racing to the public roads. While we're not down with street racing, this Vice video is an intriguing personality piece, as well as a look into Japan's fabled underground racing scene. Scroll down to check out the video, but make sure you have the "CC" button clicked, because several portions are subtitled.
