1998 Lexus lx470 with 30,000 miles

Ahhhh.Yes!

You are getting the models confused. The GX wasn't available until early 2000's. The OP is getting an even better vehicle. I believe the 98 and 99 LX and LC are the only 100 series tripple locked as well.

I'm not getting the models confused although I did read GX when it was obviously written LX.

I don’t think there were triple locked 100s LC. Mine is a 99 it has the rear locker which was an option. No front. I thought the 80s were the last to be triple locked and that was a option too.

I could easily be wrong. If so happy to hear it.

Had this crazy deal pop up with this guy where he has a 1998 Lexus lx470 with 30,000 miles and no issues at all with it when it comes to paint, rust and mechanical. He is selling it for 14k. Always kept in garage and barely driven. Anyone know much about them to justify it being worth? Let me know thanks.

Look at the price of a plain Jane 1998 4runner with 350k miles.

Buy that Lexus before someone else does.

Get. It.

You're essentially looking at a Toyota Land Cruiser with more plush interior features and different badging. If you don't think that's a good deal, spend a few minutes looking at those rigs on the Internet. You'll find them for more money with 200K miles.

Yeah I’ve never really payed much attention to the Lexus ones but I’ve always loved 80 series which are almost the same thing. I’ve been seeing them go for a crazy price the past couple years

Yep that’s what I’ve been seeing just couldn’t believe it at first. I’m going to do it

 

[CorbLand]

Why don’t I ever get this lucky?

 

[Fatcamp]

Seems like the consensus. I think I’m going to do it

Post pictures so we can all be appropriately jealous.

Here’s a great resource if you’re serious about it.

And I would bet that vehicle- if it is in original, excellent condition- would sell for 3X that much on Bring-a-trailer.

100 Series Newbie Guide - Slee Off Road

Our Newbie Guide for the 80 Series Land Cruiser proven very popular, so we decided to compile one for the 100 series as well.

The only thing I wouldn’t want that the Lexus might have vs. the Landcruiser is the adjustable hydraulic suspension. To me, it’s too big of a possible failure point on the trail.

But you can delete that and install traditional springs and shocks.

I had a 1997 Lx450 and sold it for $14k 5 years ago with 295k miles. That is an extremely capable vehicle and more so if it has factory diff lockers. I had 35" buckshot maxxis mudders and it was a bad ass hunting rig. With those low of miles and if it is in great condition, it's worth double. Hawaii is probably a tougher market. I wouldn't think twice about that deal and it'll run forever. It's a Lexus branded 80 series Landcruiser. Most everything on it except the trim is Toyota.

 

[landman650]

$14k seems like a lot for a 25 year old vehicle, but sounds like the condition & mileage help justify the asking price.

it’s not for these. Their values have been sky high

These are based off the 80 series land cruisers. The GX470 and later 460 are completely different and aren’t Land Cruiser based. They’re more like 4Runners.
