Description:

This price is for members of this forum only! $1000 cash money non negotiable. I just want this car gone. It runs and drives. I was commuting 120 miles a day with it until recently when it failed inspection. The CEL is on, and the scanner at Autozone said it needs a catalytic converter. Aside from that it the lower front crossmember is rusted pretty bad. That's the best way I can explain it because the mechanic says it's not the lower cross member, but a bracing bar. Junkyard has them for $75 so if you are handy it's only 6 bolts to take the old one off and put a used one on. I just don't have the time or desire to play with it anymore.

The interior is black and it has seen better days but it's all there. Exterior has also seen better days.

Maintenance history: Timing belt, water pump, cam/crank seals, etc... installed @ 125K which was about 3-4 years ago. I have this paperwork somewhere from Toyota dealership, and it cost a lot to have it done properly with parts from Sewell Lexus. Both front wheel bearings were replaced in the last year with Timken bearings and this job cost $900. Alternator was replaced about 3 months ago.


This was my daily driver and as you can see I did a lot of miles on her in a short amount of time, but with my 120 mile a day commute I needed to get something better on gas which is why I bought a Scion XB. Simple car to get to work and back. I miss the Lexus but I rent where I live now and I can't have it taking up space in their driveway forever. I also have a motorcycle in the garage. Special price for the forum members here, $1000. Open to trades on various things, electronics, music equipment perhaps, etc... but honestly I'd prefer cash over all.

This car does have a tow hitch installed, and a 4 pin connector for lights. I believe its a Curt model but I can't recall. The audio in the car has been gutted. I repeat there is no head unit in the car of any sort, just a hole in the center where it once was.

Please contact me asap @ exclusiveburner@gmail.com

I wanted to give someone on this forum a shot at it before it goes on Craigslist/Facebook/LetItGo/ETC..... I much rather have a CL brother take it off my hands then deal with people who perhaps aren't as knowledgeable about these cars as us. Pictures upon request, she's dirty, she's been sitting for about 2 months now. I will also include a 97+ rear trunk that is color matched. I bought it and never got around to putting it on the car. I'm sure I'm forgetting some details here and there, ask and I'll do my best to help you out. Title is CLEAN. I don't know the vin # off hand but I can update it shortly.

$1000 is super cheap already. Stop lowballing. He could get $2000 easily on Craigslist

Yah because you live in NY...... this is a $500 car dude the subframe is rotted out so it wouldnt pass a yearly NY state inspection that means there is a major safety issues wrong with it and its rusted to hell. So no way is he getting more than $600 for it. That also means the rest if the car is not far behind it has a year or two of life on the road left.

It wouldnt fail a NY state inspection for a brace being rotted out is has to be the actual frame/subframe or major suspension component of the car that is rotted.

Also its part of selling things on the internet I get lowballed all the time and dont take it personal set your personal issues with me aside and leave the thread unless your gonna give him $2000.

You throw two ****ty offers at me though, $300 or some other **** you clearly can't sell...

The front lower subframe(not the aluminum part) but the one before it is rotting. Again this car is intended for someone who is handy or doesn't mind a project. I have no time/space to make those repairs where I live. I still haven't listed it on craigslist or let it go etc.... I'm not trying to be a **** at all, I just want it gone and prefer that it goes to someone who knows SC's.

PRICE DROP

$900

You said "open to trades" also I was trying to haggle part of buying/selling things.

Offering a guy a pool in a trade that clearly stated he lives in an apartment and doesn't even have space for a second car seems like quite the reach!

HaHa!

This is the official last post and final price bump.


$800 drives it home today!

And yes I said drive because she runs and drives unlike the other **** you see on craigslist. This is only for Club Lexus members. Listing it everywhere else tonight so if you contact me let it be known where you saw it from because I'm sure when I list it elsewhere I'm going to get all sorts of morons asking questions, and I'd prefer to weed them out as quickly as possible.

You just called yourself out for low balling him. If you really thought he could get $600, then why did you offer him $300 in the first place! That’s shady.

SOLD @ $900 to a handy mechanic who plans to fix everything on it. Couldn't ask for a better buyer.

Mods please close.
