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 LX 450 Gold/Bling Trim -- been in rust-free Arizona most of it's life!
For the newbies, this is nearly the exact same thing as a Toyota Land Cruiser, but with a few more goodies from the factory - still only one useable d&^% cupholder though.

Was asking $9,000 - ~~~ NOW $7,500 FIRM ~~~ I want my driveway space back!!

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...)

• 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.
• 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 Brutes - spare is a BFG MT as well :rolleyes: )...I have a 4th MT that needs a patch/plug - these MTs are great for offroad use but have uneven wear (I bought them locally from someone here "MUD" for cheap and have decided they're not great for the road - and they're very LOUD, even for an MT). 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.)

I've only put a couple thousand miles on it, but just don't drive it enough to justify keeping it.

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.

Pending sale fell through...

Also, I found a replacement hatch/lock mechanism so that should be arriving here soon.

No more "remote unlock, key unlock, remote lock, key lock".

johnnyx

new, Better Price $8,250.

johnnyx

NEW PRICE: $7,500 FIRM.

...I had recently reduced it to $8250 and have had a boatload of calls (that's a bunch), numerous test drives, and THREE agreed upon offers in the $7,800-$8,100 range- but no one could get their loan, wait ~5 days for the title when it's paid off, get spousal approval, etc.

I'm tired of messing about and want it gone. First $7,500 takes it - price is firm and includes the running boards, an extra set of 4 used stock-sized tires, and locking Yakima towers/bars.~~~~~ (and a FRESH coat of wax!)
