After numerous car feeler threads on this forum in the past 2 years, we finally bought a new car, one from ebay @ that.

This car is to replace our 1996 Land Crusier that has been sitting here after buying a scion tc for my brother

The will be used for my father, towing canoes, our german Shepard in the back and at an extra suv to my mom's suburban for long trips

We looked and drove
1)Tahoe
Avalanche
Sequoia
Highlander
Highlander Hybrid
Rx330
Rx330 hybrid
Lexus GX, LX
pretty much any suv in the LUX range, that has a Possible 3rd row

finally, we came across this No Reserve Ebay auction

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...TODAY.m238.lVI

2004 Lexus Lx 470, 49k miles, etc

great deal IMO - kbb is 43,xxx

 

What about the LC??

 

Your family will love it. My folks had a '99 LX and it was incredible. It is an incredibly well built, luxurious, secure, unstoppable SUV--dare I say the best one on the market for what it does.

Excellent buy. Let us know how it goes.

 

sell it for a profit

 

congrats!

 

Nice truck....we drove one of these when we were looking. Some of the design elements are obviously quite dated (tape deck?), but as somebody above said, it does what it does very well and it is unique. Great grab for that price too!

 

lexus SUVs are top notch. i wouldnt mind having a landcruiser or lx460. props.

 

car delivered today from NJ to Delaware

but first. a moment of silence for the deceased. 141,500 even in 12 years. i swear my dad had a tear in his eye when they drove it away to NJ










ahh... now thats over with. long live teh lexus

 

That is a nice ride! Only Lexus I'd get.

 

Good choice ... my bro has a LX which he loves to drive up to the mountains ... my wife loves her Rx4 as well .. I'm the only one in my family that bleeds racing spirit so i'm happy with my acura ...

 

141k...that truck was so young

Lexus is very very nice though.

 

Looks good! I love the old skool celly in the Cruiser!

 

yea the phone NEVER worked lol

but unfortunately, they only gave 4k for the LC... and that w/o telling them there was no a/c

damn lc is worth at least 7k

 

damn nice truck for that price

 

Nice LX. Very well built luxo cruiser. Congrats!

I would have personally kept the LC . That thing could have easily doubled it's current mileage.

 

i agree on that based on the engine and structure. however... its worth about 5k now, 7 if we repair whats wrong with it.

this last year has been all headaches - the ac has been out, we got a new ac pump, freon, ac shaft, etc... about 2500 in total. 4 days later, (summer, 93 degrees) it goes out, they say 800 for new pipes and there going to have to rip the dash open. another 200 to fix the non working parking brake light. the front 2 speakers are blown and the stereo in whole has no bass whatsoever. thinning brake pads too.

BUT - it still drives like a dream. had a blast for our last day with it, dad let me drive it until it hit 141,500 even. the last of the large v6s for the LC and that thing still accels like 1998.

but after driving the LX today. there is no doubt in our minds of the choice. cant beat the price, nor the quality - the car is as quiet as spears was for 7 years.

 

Nice pick up..... I guess if you are going Luxo-Ute, this really the top of the line. Unless you nab a new Mercedes. But most people are not made of $$$

 

ridden in the new MBs, tell you the truth, not very impressed
the quality for the money aint what it used to be... plus, my dad probably wants the smoothness over the handling anyway

 

Nice truck. Good price. Good luck with it.

 

Just another gas hog....Nice truck though
