I feel like it is probably legit. It is impressive

Something like that would be difficult to conceal. There's got to be a paper trail of licenses and title that confirm the story and the restoration details would have to be immaculate.

Yeah and it doesn't look restored. All the nuts and bolts and everything have the right patina. At first my eye was drawn to what looked like black spray paint on the underside... but then I came across the receipt showing the undercoating.

I’m not saying it is a resto. I’m sure it is a low mile truck, I just don’t believe the 5k number. I would be really surprised if the odometer wasn’t stuck with that little use. But there is no way to find out other than drive it 5,000 more miles.

Hard top bolts are missing, battery looks like it was installed at jiffy lube. Why are the knuckle backing plates black and not gold? For 100k it better be perfect.

Saw this lx just traded in at groove Toyota. 130k miles, pretty clean except for some rust in the hatch. No lockers. Usually they sell the older stuff for reasonable prices, especially if u haggle.

See it up on Groove's site. https://www.groovetoyota.com/used-Denver-1997-Lexus-LX-450-JT6HJ88J3V0179225

Starting at $14,990 :eek:, has a carfax, 2 owner, Colorado truck, has accident reported...not sure what.

Looks nice but a lots of haggling yet to be done if I were to consider it. As time goes on, I suspect a local independent dealer will look to buy it or it will go to auction. They may just be looking to see if they can cash in on someone wanting a low mile truck. For comparison, I bought my locked '97 LX out of Omaha back in 2009 with 99K (actually 140K...another story) for 7K...flew up and drove it home.

That is a rediculous price. KBB lists it as 6600 in excelent shape for dealership price. That may be a incorrect price. They don't have on the lot yet and it hasn't really gone through the refurbish process yet.
