The Lexus LX 470 is a favorite on the forum, with recent offerings including this 2001, 2003, and 2005. This coveted rig is underpinned by the legendary 100-Series Land Cruiser, which means it enjoys the same desirable body-on-frame architecture, heavy-duty 4WD system, and bulletproof 2UZ-FE 4.7-liter V8 motor that, if maintained, has a half-million-mile service life. However, while the Land Cruiser is focused on utility, the LX 470 provides elevated interior tech and comfort for an altogether more refined driving experience. Cue today’s 2000 Lexus LX 470 (195,000 miles), which boasts approximately $13,000 in upgrades, an extensive service history, and has recently undergone routine maintenance. If you’d like an idea of how this 4WD performs as a travel companion, check out builds from Austin St Onge, Built Different Garage, and Where to Next Overland.
From the Seller:
“Family-owned since 2002. Professionally built at Main Line Overland (2018) with ~$13,000 in modifications. Clean title, with one minor CarFax incident (in 2018, a small car hit the steel rear bumper, zero damage to LX). This LX has lived an active life as intended, from college road trips to beach camping to trail exploration. Recent maintenance (2021-2025) includes air-conditioning work, a full brake job, exhaust repair, ignition coils, and extensive front-end work. All fluids have been serviced regularly at Urban Classic in Brooklyn. The 2UZ-FE V8 runs strong with no leaks, ticks, or unusual noises. Transmission shifts smoothly through all gears. The vehicle has character. It’s not a garage queen, but mechanically sorted and ready for its next adventure. All original books, manuals, and two keys included.”
