1997 Lexus LX 450

165,748 miles

White with Tan Leather

Front, center and rear Locking Differentials that engage and disengage properly

Mostly Southern Truck: 3 years in Florida, then 3 Years in Ohio, then the previous owner owned it for the last 11 years in Georgia

Only a little minor rust on the undercarriage, see pics

No Check Engine Light

Cold AC 

Power windows, mirrors and locks work well, power antenna just replaced (after pics were taken).  

Interior is clean and odor free.  

Driver seat leather is cracking. 

Driver side seat motor gear is stripped out for the front to back adjustment.  I think the seat is currently in the rear most position, which, due to the leg room in these is suitable for people of average height or taller. 

If the buyer/winning bidder so chooses I can recover the seats with high quality Lexus pattern leather and fix the driver seat gear for $1250 before delivery.  (Leather from MetricTLC.)  (Its a good bit of labor and I don't really want to do it, just offering the service to the buyer.) I have done this on a few other 80s, I just haven't had the time to do this one.  Payment for the vehicle would come first, then I would do the work.  (If it were me, Id probably drive it as is until the leather gets really bad and/or put some nice canvas seat covers on it.)   I can also fix just the seat motor for $250 if buyer so chooses.  (I don't really want or have the time to do that either, just offering it to help facilitate the sale.)  

No third row seats.  (They are not real useful and you would probably take them out and store them in your garage or attic anyway.)

Cosmetically, the exterior has a few blemishes here and there, consistent with most 17 year old vehicles.  There are some spots on the roof and a few scuffs here and there, nothing major.  The Autocheck shows one accident in 2005 so it had some paintwork, but not sure exactly where.  Vehicle retains all its original body panels and glass.   

The vehicle runs and drives great, needs nothing that I am aware of, and I am very familiar with 80 series Land Cruisers/LX450s.  No smoke, no funny noises.  Leaks a little bit of oil underneath, like most 80s, but not bad.  

Comes with books and manuals, full tool kit and jack, Lexus key and remote. 

Fresh oil and filter change with Shell Rotella 15w-40 and Toyota filter.

This is a really solid truck that I have been driving often for the last couple of months.  

You may notice that this truck did NOT have the roof rack which is common on these.  These racks were installed at the port or dealer, not the factory and are known to cause rust and leaking issues due to the holes drilled in the roof.  This is a sought after feature among Land Cruiser enthusiasts.  

This is a rare vehicle in that it is the last year of the 80 Series Land Cruiser/LX450 with lockers, no roof rack, white in color, relatively low miles (under 175k) and 90% rust free.  

I am a dealer specializing in Land Cruisers and other unique automobiles, check my feedback and my website  (MOTORADELLC)

Thanks!

10 electric cars we’re excited are coming soon

Thu, Sep 22 2022

If you were considering buying an electric vehicle a couple years ago, we wouldn't fault you for thinking your options were limited, both in terms of quantity and quality. You just might not have been able to find an electric car that would suit your needs, lifestyle or budget. With the newest generation of EVs that have launched in the past year or two, your options have changed — and improved — dramatically. If you still don't see an EV you like, just wait a little while longer. It won't take long. There are a whole lot more on the horizon, and the problem may soon be in narrowing down your options. To give you an example, here are 10 electric vehicles we're excited about that you'll be able to buy very soon, from GM, from Germany, from Japan and more. Some of these will be available by the end of the year, and all are expected to launch by the end of 2023. The Chevy trio: 2024 Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV GM is stepping into the future with strong footing. Following high-end electric launches from GMC (Hummer EV) and Cadillac (Lyriq), Chevrolet is bringing three electric vehicles with familiar nameplates. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV (above left) will offer a number of versions, starting with the 2LT and RS trims in the summer of 2023, followed by the 557-horsepower SS in the fall and the base 1LT in early 2024. The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV (above right) will go on sale in fall 2023 as a limited-edition model, with volume sales ramping up in 2024, with a base cost of “around $30,000.” For those who prefer a bed to a liftgate, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is an electric pickup that looks more like the old Chevy Avalanche than the current Silverado. The WT (work truck) trim launches in fall 2023, while the 664-horsepower RST will follow in 2024. Read more: 5 new electric car companies coming in 2023 and beyond 2023 BMW i7 BMW revealed the all-electric 2023 i7 luxury sedan alongside the gas-powered 7 Series. It should go on sale before the end of 2022. The i7 xDrive60 will be the only variant, with its two motors providing a total of 536 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque, and its battery expected to offer a range of about 300 miles. Just like its internal combustion counterpart, this full-size sedan wonÂ’t come cheap, with the i7 starting at $120,295. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Following the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be the fourth car using Hyundai GroupÂ’s E-GMP electric car architecture.

2014 Lexus CT 200h F Sport

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

The idea of the Lexus CT 200h F Sport intrigues me. A compact, premium, efficient hatchback with an added dose of sportiness? Sign me up. It's why I'm still crossing my fingers for Volkswagen to sell the Golf GTD on our shores (though recent reports on that front are bumming me out). And judging a book by its cover, this Lexus certainly looks like it could be an interesting proposition.
Lexus first launched the CT for the 2011 model year, and for 2014, the little hatch has been given a makeover, now proudly wearing the company's new spindle grille, for better or worse. When we reviewed the CT after its launch, executive editor Chris Paukert called it "handsome, well screwed together," and "one of Toyota's boldest offerings in years." That may have been true, but after a slight makeover and some fresh new F Sport duds, I'm wondering if the CT proposition isn't looking a little more unfortunate than before.

Lexus LF-SA Concept leaks its mini self ahead of Geneva

Sat, Feb 28 2015

What you see here is the Lexus LF-SA Concept, which is speeding toward a date next week with the Geneva Motor Show. We don't yet have any official details, but Lexus is apparently saying the LF-SA was "conceived as a luxurious, driver-focused vehicle, designed to address a future world that is more influenced by technology and virtual experiences," and that it "[reflects] Lexus' vision that real experience will remain ultimate luxury." We don't know how far into the future Lexus is looking with its LF-SA Concept, but it looks very small, with just two doors, meaning it's likely even more diminutive and less spacious than the entry-level luxury Buick Encore. It could be positioned below the current CT 200h, which currently stands as the smallest model from Lexus. Check out the pictures above, and stay tuned for all the official details from Geneva.
