1997 Lexus LX LX-450 Description

Overall in very good condition. Been our daily driver for a few years now. It's been serviced regularly. The major work we've done is put in a new radiator, thermostat and gasket, a new Denzo starter, a new battery, new rotors (recent), and the Michelin LTX tires, which still have a lot of tread left. The touchscreen display is aftermarket, but we have the original stereo. There's plenty of cosmetic nicks and scratches on the outside, but no big-time damage. The interior is mostly in pretty good condition, except for the leather on the steering wheel, the driver's seat, and the center console.
It's an old vehicle, so there's lots of little quirks and blemishes. Some of the wood trim in the interior is faded and distorted. When it's below freezing, the power windows can be stiff and slow, as can the exterior door lock. Sometimes the brake lights stay on after the car is turned off--probably an electrical cross. The third row seats are long gone. The passenger seat won't slide forward or back--it seems like it's stuck in the track because it wants to move but can't. Also, there's a whine when you increase the throttle. It's never caused a problem so we've left it alone. I'm not sure what it could be--maybe some of y'all know--but here's a video I made that hopefully demonstrates the sound: https://youtu.be/ilrY01BZ9iw
Besides the little things, this truck runs great. It'll certainly have more service issues as time goes on, but it still has plenty of life left. It would be great as a camp/off road/hunting truck. The 4WD on this thing is incredible. I've used it very confidently on icy roads and on trails. I'd like to keep it purely for the 4WD, but it needs to go. No lockers. Very clean underneath; spent most of its life in the South.
Clean title. Ask me any questions you'd like. And do plenty of research online. These 450's, like all Land Cruisers, have a huge following in the 4x4 community. There's plenty of information available about them on the internet.
