Hi everyone. My name is Eric and I just picked up my first rig, a '97 LX450.
Here's the run down:
-230k miles
-just put in $630 for repairs to get it up to top condition. (New rotors, pads, valve gasket seals, power steering leak repair, replace dash backlight behind rpm and temp gauges, etc)
-interior clean w/minor tears in front and passenger leather
-exterior clean w/ some rust on tow package and running boards
-head gasket hasn't been done
-daily driver for the wife of the seller
-never taken off-road
-full service records since '97
-oil changed every 3k miles since '97
-no lockers
I thought I got a pretty good deal on this, but what do you think?
I'm also looking for a good tech/shop in Utah county since I'm living in a townhouse right now and don't have the space to work on it myself. Any suggestions?
I'd live to get out wheeling sometime too.
I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts. Thanks!
