Front plates are dumb and awful and I’m extremely happy my state doesn’t make me jack up the front of my car to have one.

Mitsubishi from 25 years ago? Sure, whatever. They made some really cool stuff, but also some pretty crummy stuff back then. I’m not a fan but I understand why people are/were.

That 4.7-litre 32-valve V8 managed to call up 230 horsepower and 260 lb-ft

230HP when new... I’m going to say if it’s been well maintained you’re looking at 190ish now. That’s 90's Explorer territory. You can get a lot for this price or less that’s newer and more powerful with less miles.

What we are expected to do research on this now. Facts and figures. I pulled $6k out of my butt like everyone else.

Very few differences, but the ones that exist require extra expense to replace or repair vs the Land Cruiser.

And now that I’ve said someone will pay the price for the car, I ran it through Edmunds and came up with $6,000 for dealer retail. That’s based on what dealerships are actually selling them for, not the asking price. That pushes this one into the CP range for me. People aren’t paying that much for them. Maybe someone…

This is the correct take. I had a 2003 with 210k miles on it in my possession for a while recently and it ended up selling for 7,000 after being on the market for 3 months. The airbag suspension had been repaired, had great dealer maintenance records, and the interior was in better condition than this one (the…

The big difference is suspension - therein lies the hidden problem with LXs. The costs of fixing suspensions on these rigs is pretty high. Moreover, people don’t actually realize how high some of the bills on these older LXs actually get.

It definitely is too big for a lot of trails in the northeast, but it does excel in offroading where spacial constraints are not as tight

My man is about $3k off the mark. He also wants you to go ahead and get the maintenance records from the Lexus dealer yourself?!?! That right there tells you what you’re gonna be dealing with when you call this guy.

What is the point of buying this at this price? It is too big to truly offroad. Too slow to be fun. Too old to be luxurious. Too gold for my tastes.

Xenons are absolute garbage

He was African-American, but good try on the race bait.

You can have any color you want as long as it’s black.

Everyone is ragging on this dude, but I kind of feel like he just accidentally fell asleep on a long, boring drive and didn’t die because the car was driving itself.

To not mention it would be silly in this case, I think. 

In all the F&F movies, that was one of the most absurd (and there’s been plenty of absurdity to go around in those movies) things they did.  Those Chargers would have been spinning their wheels with that vault attached. Unless they put about 10 tons of sandbags in each Charger. In which case they would have been able…

Police/helicopters take time to deploy and get out there. I’m guessing this was over and done with in a matter of minutes.

I have no horse in this race, but it’s pretty funny to me that buying an $80,000+ car is “smug” but buying a $70,000 truck you use to go get groceries (has that truck ever seen dirt?) isn’t “smug”.
