I’ve had this 97’ LX450 for about 3 years now. Bought as a project SUV because previous owner thought the engine was bad because it kept loosing coolant. Turns out it was just a pin hole leak in a coolant house under the intake that was causing coolant to mysteriously disappear. Fixed it Along with a tune up and replaced a few other hoses and it’s been nothing but reliable! Even after sitting for weeks and some times months it just turns on and goes. Passes CA SMOG with ease. I just clocked 231k. I’ve taken it all around SoCal and parts of central California and I’m confident I can drive this tank coast to coast if I wanted to without a problem. Except gas...pretty bad MPG about 11city 14 hwy is what I’m getting and mine is completely stock. Kind of wish it were a smaller turbo Diesel engine of some sort but hey I can’t complain with the ridiculous reliability. Plus it’s literally just a rebadged Toyota Land Cruiser so cost of ownership and repair is lower than pretty much anything in its class.

We bought this car about a year used. It has been very reliable and a great car for our family. While it may look similar to the Landcruiser, because it is a Lexus everything is upgraded and well worth it. More important than anything else, however, has been the Lexus service... Outstanding! We also own a BMW 750IL and wouldn't buy another BMW just because of their service at the dealerships. We will always stick with Lexus because of this. GREAT TRUCK!!!
