REDUCED! Stock 1996 LX450 (Land Cruiser) in Scottsdale, AZ WAS $9K, now it's not.

(Also have this posted at ih8mud.com)

About SEVENTY PICS at this link, but SCROLL DOWN for a few within the thread:
1996-LX450 pictures from friends & fun photos on webshots



I hate to let it go, but I have too many vehicles...two too many if you're counting.

1996 LX 450 Gold/Bling Trim - 2nd Owner - been in rust-free Arizona most of it's life! I've owned it since around Halloween last year.
For the newbies, this is nearly the exact same thing as a Toyota Land Cruiser, but with a few more goodies from the factory - still only one useable d&^% cupholder though. :lol:

Was asking $9,000 ~~~NOW $8,250~~~
Private Party KBB value in "good condition" (not excellent) is $9,845.00.
(Suggested Retail KBB Value is as high as $13,250.)

Call or email John ---> johnnyx @ gmail.com, or via cell at (six zero two) 790-0297.

Located in Scottsdale, 85259 (near Desert Mtn High School) or at my office at NE Corner of Chaparral and 101 in Scottsdale, 85250.

The Scoop:

VIN: JT6HJ88J4T0131133
147,xxx miles

High/Low 4WD - No Differential Lockers (I could call the "PWR" switch a locker, but I won't. ;) )
"Mall Queen/Kid Hauler/Grocery Getter" (previous owner maintained it very well and if I recall correctly never took it offroad, though I did venture off unpaved Table Mesa Rd N of Phoenix one day - passed a few sedans in both directions...)
  • Two-tone White/"Champagne"
  • New exhaust in 2003.
  • All Stock vehicle minus Discount tire MB Motoring Brand 16x8 wheels from Discount Tire in Fountain Hills.
  • Removed side-steps - they're in my garage in good shape.
  • All wheel drive - does NOT have Diff locks.
  • Tan leather in good condition - driver side front shows some normal wear, but NO tears or rips.
  • Power seats work properly
  • CD Changer works great
  • Built-in Phone REMOVED, power antenna does not go up and down, I leave it up.
  • The windshield washer "diverter" needs replacing (inexpensive, but it never rains in AZ so I didn't get to that either...)
  • 3rd row seats in excellent condition - almost always folded up. 2nd row in great shape too.
  • Rear hatch mechanism does not function w/ the remote - I use the key.
  • Passed Emissions and renewed registration w/ Arizona MVD on May 30, 2008.
  • Could use new belts, but I just haven't had time - relatively easy do it yourself job.
  • Tires are all 305-70-16 (3 BFG MT's and a Remington Wide Brute - spare is a Wide Brute as well :rolleyes: )...I have 4th MT that needs a patch/plug - these MTs are great for offroad use but have uneven wear (I bought them locally from someone here on "MUD" for cheap and have decided they're not great for the road - and they're very LOUD, even for an MT). I also have a set of FOUR 265-75-16 AT's to go with it - 50% tread. (You'll see those in the pics (click any photo below for the album.)
I've only put a couple thousand miles on it - I had planned to sell my Nissan Armada but let's face it, no one wants a V8 gas guzzler/school-bus-sized vehicle right now unless it's being given away - so I'm keeping the Armada to drive clients in. So here's your chance for a ~~I-6~~ semi-gas-guzzler. ;) (AND it's one of the best 4x4's ever built -my '64 Scout comes in close 2nd).)

I will also throw in a set of two yakima crossbars and locking mounts. Will hold ski racks, bike racks, bad mother-in-laws (under 225 lbs), etc.

I did find a new hatch/lock mechanism - no more goofing w/ the key to lock and unlock the hatch. Should be here soon. :)
