Here's my OPINION as a buyer. I'd wonder why you're selling it IMMEDIATELY after the engine replacement. Don't you trust the "fix"? (What I'd be thinking, not a question for you).
No, I'd be much more comfortable after you've run it a bit and are happy with the new engine. Even then, I say the new engine is a small advantage, but not huge.
Good luck.
Thanks for the kind words. I'm going to price it just below retail and go from there.
I'm selling it because I wasn't real happy about the awd perfomance on snow and the poor turning radious-so we decided to by a Yukon. I do miss the fit and finish and "tightness"of the lexus but in the snow the Yukon rocks {although the "tupperware dash" of GM stuff will take some getting used to.}
The engine blew as I was driving it to my detailer to buff and fluff prior to showing it to an acquaintance who wanted to buy it. Just my luck 5 min. before I go to sell it, the engine grenades. This one didn't go quietly it was slamming and hard knocking at 60mph. Scared the heck out of me. I cut my hand on my wifes stupid key ring trying to shut it down I was so freaked.
I think I'm cursed 'cause a similar thing happened during a check ride with a boat I was selling a few years ago. After a few hours of snorting around on the water and this buyer going over every inch and hours of reviewing records, more questions, inspecting etc...., we stopped in the middle of a lake and he wrote the check.
Then on the way back -maybe 20 yards from the dock the lower unit went bye bye and so did my buyer with his check ! Another fun day on the lake in Minnesota.
