This Lexus LX450 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1996 Lexus LX450 reportedly remained with its original owner prior to its acquisition by the seller, and it now shows 69k miles. It is finished in black over tan leather and powered by a 4.5-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a two-speed transfer case. Equipment includes running boards, a sunroof, power-adjustable front seats, third-row seating, cruise control, automatic climate control, and a premium audio system with a cassette player. Recent service included an oil change, a recharge of the air-conditioning system, and replacement of the battery and starter motor. This FZJ80 is now offered at no reserve with a clean AutoCheck report, three keys with one fob, Lexus service records, the factory manuals, and a clean Illinois title in the seller’s name.
