Lx450 (like Landcruiser) Excellent Condition, Best On Ebay (w/backup Cam) 62pics on 2040-cars

We would love to keep this car forever, but just bought a 2013 Mercedes GL450 and have limited parking. We have no choice but to let it go.

Our family bought this Lexus from the original owner in 1997 and have loved every minute of owning it.  It spent its entire life in Nashville TN until 2008, when it was handed down from father to daughter (who used the car in Upstate NY, MA and then in briefly PA). The car comes with a COMPLETE SERVICE HISTORY back to 1997. 

During the last few winters since moving to the northeast, we found the car’s full-time four wheel drive outstanding in the snow. LX450s are also great off road (features include low range transfer case, locking center differential, and plenty of ground clearance), but we really only had to get it muddy once… it escaped an exceptionally sloppy grass parking lot after a rain storm with ease. 

It’s great to have 3 rows of seats, too... Overall, we're sorry to see it go, but we hope it ends up in a good home that loves it as much as we do. 

Condition: Engine and transmission are strong and solid.  A/C is ice cold. Never smoked in. No shakes, drives straight (although the last alignment shop canted the steering wheel a few degrees off center - see last photo below).  Great cosmetic condition overall, except for a few minor (typical) items: some paint/body blemishes, power radio antenna doesn't move, the steering wheel cover is starting to peel a little at the corners, the passenger power seat tilts and reclines but will not more fore/aft – this is a very common problem on these cars. We had the driver’s seat mechanism professionally rebuilt and it works fine. Everything else works. See for yourself in the pictures!

Additional aftermarket features:
- Back-up camera
- Bluetooth hands free speakerphone & music receiver (Belkin F4U037)
- Class IV Tow Hitch
- Both front seats professionally reupholstered in 2009 with very durable (yet soft) synthetic leather

Radio and CD player (6 disc changer) still in great shape

Exterior in good shape for age, only major paint damage is on the right rear corner. Tires are in good shape (see for yourself below).

Regarding the front wheel alignment and the steering angle, see below for a picture showing the steering wheel when travelling straight ahead on the highway. Note that the car does NOT pull to either side (even under braking), but rather, the steering wheel is slightly off center:
