I'd like to purchase a maintanance manual for my 1997 LX450 that I recently purchased. Which manual is the most informative (Lexus, Chiltons, etc.) and where is the best source to purchase the recommended manual.

Thanks
Joe P.

You can call 1-800-25-LEXUS and they will send you the manual.

Cool JAPFPE...........

C'mon man, you can't just leave me hangin like this, give me some stats pics specs somthing on your badass phat chick magnet of a Lex.

Oh and about the manuals, check out E-bay periodically, never know what you might find, not many people are in the market for LX450 stuff.

My LX450 is pure stock.....nothing "special". The only non-stock item on teh vehicle is the K&N oil filter ! I have seen one LX450 factory service manual on E-bay the last 6 months and I spend a lot of time on E-bay ! If I recall right the manual sold for $130.00.

Default Nice...

I'm sure you love it as much as I do. Hey, does that K&N filter do anything for you?

One more thing, you don't have to answer, did you buy it used? How much did you get it for?

P.S. Make sure to check out the LX forum!

I don't know about the K&N filter but I have read nothing but good things. I loaded the crankcase with Mobil One and screwed on the K&N the week I bought the truck. My wife and I were handwringing over the vehicle to get since we had two Great Danes. We had an Outback that was quickly overcome and we were looking to get another Dane.

I had my eye on several LandCruisers on E-Bay and one at a local Toyota dealer here in upstate NY. A friend of our operates a used car dealership primarly selling Volks and Subaru. I asked him to keep his eye out at the auctions and he found our truck in Albany. The truck had 60K on it when we purchased it last August. We paid 27K. The truck is in very good condition. There are a couple of carpet spots and one window doesn't works but that's about it.

The truck was originally owned by a gentlemen in Kentucky so the first 3 years of its life were free from the severe weather duty we see here in NY.

Thumbs up Sounds like my story...

Got mine in september for 31k with 25,000 miles on it in complete perfect condition also from a dealer auction, I too have some carpet spots, but they are my fault, nothing new floor mats can't fix. Any plans for your Lex?
