Post Feeler '03 LX 470

I am helping my brother-in-law sell his '03 LX 470 and looking for feedback/interest.

151K miles, Black/tan, one owner, garaged, no smoking, Mark Levinson, Nav, never off-road. The LX has been used mostly highway driving back/forth from NYC to VT and Eastern Long Island. All service at Lexus Manhattan. Interior is good shape, no rips/tears. Engine purs.

Here's what needs servicing.

1. The brakes went soft. A local garage in Long Island says it needs a master cylinder. Mechanic says the master cylinder is stripped.

2. A/C not blowing cold. Have not had it diagnosed.

3. Radio has an intermittent problem.

4. Suspension needs servicing.

The LX is currently in Long Island at a local mechanic. This is a great vehicle for someone here that has the know how to fix and maintain it for years to come.

Please suggest listing price.

Before I'd suggest a price, I'd want a bunch of well-lighted pictures of the underside of the truck, given your location. That's on a lift, with both splash covers removed from the underside.
Northeast rust needs to be checked from front to rear on the underside of the truck. The rear window frame also needs checking, look closely at the bottom of the frame.

You can go to lexus.com and from there to the owners' section. Plug in the VIN, and you can get a listing of all services done as well as declined by any Lexus dealer.

Has the timing belt been replaced?

I'd suggest posting your question in the 100-series section of ih8mud.com...you can also check the classifieds section as a starting point.

Since the radio is integral to the climate control, replacement is not cheap. There are a few shops who work on electronics other than dealers.

I'd want to know exactly what "servicing" the suspensions means...is it simply changing the AHC fluid, or replacing components...which can get relatively spendy.

PM me if you need more.
