About SEVENTY PICS at this link, but SCROLL DOWN for a few within the thread:
1996-LX450 pictures from friends & fun photos on webshots
I hate to let it go, but I have too many vehicles...two too many if you're counting.
1996 Lexus LX 450 Gold/Bling Trim - 3nd Owner - Sold new in SoCal, and been in rust-free Arizona almost it's entire life. I've owned it since around Halloween last year.
For the newbies, this is nearly the exact same thing as a Toyota Land Cruiser (or "Landcruiser" for the searchers...), but with a few more goodies from the factory - still only one useable d&^% cupholder though.
Asking $9,000 or best reasonable offer
Private Party KBB value in "good condition" (not excellent) is $9,845.00.
(Suggested Retail KBB Value is as high as $13,250.)
Call or email John ---> johnnyx @ gmail.com, or via cell at (six zero two) 790-0297.
Located in Scottsdale, 85259 (near Desert Mtn High School) or at my office at NE Corner of Chaparral and 101 in Scottsdale, 85250.
The Scoop:
VIN: JT6HJ88J4T0131133
147,xxx miles
High/Low 4WD - No Differential Lockers (I could call the "PWR" switch a locker, but I won't.
)
"Mall Queen/Kid Hauler/Grocery Getter" (previous owner maintained it very well and if I recall correctly never took it offroad, though I did venture off unpaved Table Mesa Rd N of Phoenix one day - passed a few sedans in both directions...)
(AND it's one of the best 4x4's ever built -my '64 Scout comes in close 2nd).)
I will also throw in a set of two yakima crossbars and locking mounts. Will hold ski racks, bike racks, bad mother-in-laws (under 225 lbs), etc.
I have the bug shield in the garage too - it's in good condition.
While I owned it:
10/31/07 - NEW EGR Vacuum switching valve & EGR Modulator (Fixed P0401... $600.00+)
Misc Fixes/Updates:
From PREVIOUS owner records:
09/23/03 - ($2,117.57) All New Exhaust system, including cats and front o2 sensor from Scott Toyota.
12/18/04 - ($1,355.53) Toyoworks, Phx, Az @ 127,286 miles
01/16/04 - Scott Toyota ($306.46) @ 115,526 miles
Replace Rear brake pads
Replace Front brake pads
Various Oil Change records he kept from Fletcher's Tire and Auto Service in Scottsdale (He had a lifetime oil change setup there). (I've used Fletcher's in the past too, they've been great.)

High/Low 4WD - No Differential Lockers (I could call the "PWR" switch a locker, but I won't.
)"Mall Queen/Kid Hauler/Grocery Getter" (previous owner maintained it very well and if I recall correctly never took it offroad, though I did venture off unpaved Table Mesa Rd N of Phoenix one day - passed a few sedans in both directions...)
- Two-tone White/"Champagne"
- New exhaust in 2003.
- All Stock vehicle minus Discount tire MB Motoring Brand 16x8 wheels from Discount Tire in Fountain Hills.
- Removed side-steps - they're in my garage in good shape.
- All wheel drive - does NOT have Diff locks.
- Tan leather in good condition - driver side front shows some normal wear, but NO tears or rips.
- Power seats work properly
- CD Changer works great
- Built-in Phone REMOVED, power antenna does not go up and down, I leave it up.
- The windshield washer "diverter" needs replacing (inexpensive, but it never rains in AZ so I didn't get to that either...)
- 3rd row seats in excellent condition - almost always folded up. 2nd row in great shape too.
- Rear hatch mechanism does not function w/ the remote - I ordered a replacement - it's in the mail.
- Passed Emissions and renewed registration w/ Arizona MVD on May 30, 2008.
- Could use new belts, but I just haven't had time - relatively easy do it yourself job.
- Tires are all 305-70-16 (2 BFG MT's and 2 Remington Wide Brute's - spare is a BFG MTas well )...I have the 4th MT that needs a patch/plug - these MTs are great for offroad use but have uneven wear (I bought them locally for cheap and have decided even though I had MT's on a daily driver before, these are not great for the road. I also have a set of FOUR 265-75-16 AT's to go with it - 50% tread. (You'll see those in the pics (click any photo below for the album.)
(AND it's one of the best 4x4's ever built -my '64 Scout comes in close 2nd).) I will also throw in a set of two yakima crossbars and locking mounts. Will hold ski racks, bike racks, bad mother-in-laws (under 225 lbs), etc.

Misc Fixes/Updates:
- New piezo beeper for the alarm - you can hear it now
- new/used front bumper inserts added
- Misc exterior light bulbs
- New Brighter Headlights (SilverStar?)
- Fixed rattling sunroof trim
- Fixed (I think) minor leak at driver side windshield - there's ZERO rust where it came in - it's a dry heat here.
