MONT470 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 I guess today was my lucky day. I landed a 2002 LX 470 for free! It has the factory supercharger and 250k miles. It’s needs some cosmetic work but there isn’t much rust on the underside and no rust on the body. The reason the are giving it away is do to the fact that they continue to break serpentine belts. They are on there 4th belt in the last 15-20k miles. I don’t actually have the vehicle yet...it is scheduled to be towed (last time belt broke they gave up on fixing it) to my house early next week. I plan on having it looked at by my Toyota mechanic to see if he can diagnose the cause of the belt breaking. I couldn’t be more excited! I know it may take some work to get things sorted out. When it’s free, the time and money don’t hurt as bad. Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexus Owners Club Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Hi Josh.....welcome to the Club Looks like a great truck and worth spending some money on it I would replace all the pulleys and tensioners and use genuine Lexus/Toyota components as so many fake parts out there and especially belts so it may be thats the reason why they are breaking? Keep us updated on how its going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
