Post Please be on the lookout for a Used LX470!

Hey Nelocian brothers, i am asking for some help in the tri-state area. A buddy of mine constantly asks me to buy my truck. Well im tired of it and i told him i would search and find him one for himself so we can both have them. he is looking for something under 20k, so i know high mileage(65k-85k) and probably something around y2k.

Now ive just called 15 Lexus dealerships and nobody has anything. Funny enough, well actually its terrible, Lexus of Manhattan was the only pleasant one to speak with. *side note: i have yet to call my dealership but im pretty damn sure they aint got ish. All the other dealerships i spoke with were nasty to me over the phone (i guess from my younger voice on the phone) but when they found out i have a LX myself they got all nice to me...**** lexus dealerships i only want to deal with the one i go to, they are the only nice ones i know. Anyways back to my bid for help.

Can everyone keep an eye out for a Used LX470 on the car lots around NY/CT/NJ. Maybe even a LandCruiser but i think to be a LC it has to be black. Also he doesnt want green anything(he had a green ES300 back in the day).


Please guys i know you all are driving around constantly and i hope our network of people can help me find him a truck easier.

There are plenty in Queens on Hillside ave. Seen many Lexus cars and trucks on the lots.

Did you call Lexus of Smithtown out here on Long Island? They are always nice to me and very courteous at the entire dealership, can't see them not being courteous to you..

Here are some in my area. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/search...ied=&advanced=

Cheapest is $19,600 with 97k on the clock is the least expensive. Autotrader.com is a good site to check.

he said he doesnt like my color either and quite frankly i think it would be mad gay if he got the same color as me, lol.

LexusChris nice find on the 2000. Sheet i want that myself! At least take the wheels for some nice offroading sets.

The second one looks like its got fresh tires but that back end needs alot of work paint wise. Thanks for the heads up on autotrader and cars.com

Ill see what he has to say about these tomorrow morning. Thanks guys!


Oh and as a side note, i just made my friend blow his first gear on his '06 WRX trying to race my LS430, ahh im so happy.
