Exterior Pics of our 1999 LX470. Hand detailed with Menzerna Products and in very, very special condition. Interior Pics to follow... :D

$22,750 - Just had the 60,000 mile servicing ($1200) - Just had new front and rear brakes installed ($900) - Includes all weather mats Pics to follow over the weekend.

Not sure of the official "Lexus color"..but it's the champagne/goldish color paint with the light tan leather inside. Price is TBD. My wife and I are still discussing given the unique condition.

We are officially putting our LX470 on the market next week. We just had the 60,000 mile major service our our local Lexus Dealer. Brand new front and rear brakes...plus I will be hand detailing the car this Saturday with some of the best products on the market. We purchased the vehicle 3 years ago as a "Certified Lexus " from our local dealer and we have only put 20,000 miles on it in 3 years. Car has been serviced by our local Lexus dealer and has only required oil changes prior to the 60,000 servicing. Our LX has been babied since day 1. I'm a bit of a clean freak and I have detailed the car 2x/year inside and out for the past 3 years. I will post some pics after it has been detailed. It's hard to beleive this is a 1999. I'll let the pictures be the proof of that. It is in exceptional condition.

Appreciate that! I'll let you know! Thanks.

Good to know! Thanks for chiming in on this!

Our LX has never been off-road and tires have never been underwater. I will try that test however. Is it true that they can grind the rotors while they are still lef ton the car ? Just curious?

Considering selling or 1999 LX470 privately since it is in perfect condition. Looking for some thoughts on how much we can get for it ? Here are some specifics to consider; - Car is being sold in southern CT - 69,000 miles - Just had the major 60,000 mile service - New front brakes - New rear brakes - We have all service records from our local Lexus Dealer - The inside is mint (nothing cracked or damaged at all) - Tires tread is excellent - No DVD , No Nav - All-weather mats included - Car has been hand detailed 2x per year by me Thoughts ?

I've been using a local place for years to mount & balance new tires and I did speak to them about the front job on my LX470. Again..they deal with VW, Audi, Porshe, Mercedes,etc. I talked to the manager/owner and he thinks they can re-surface the rotors with a machine thay have without taking the front rotors off ? He gave me an estimate of $310.00 for labor, new front pads, and resurface front rotors....if he can do it while leaving them on. If he has to take them off then we go to $510 for the extra labor to repack the bearings etc. I thought the $310 quote seemed fair but I'm cocnerned now about....do we need to have the bearings done anyways ?

Jim...appreciate your feedback and input on this. The fronts still scare me a little. Would it make more sense for me to get all the pasrts on-line myself and then get a quote from a non-Lexus dealer. I have a local place that specializes in Foreign luxury cars. I wonder if it's worth getting a labor quote from them first before paying my local Lexus Dealer $650 for a front brake job that will only get me new pads and resurfaced rotor? Your thoughts ?

We were in the $600 area. That was for new pads, repack, and touching up the rotors (njot replacing). Looks to be some extra labor $$$$ with the repack.

Hi Jim & thanks for the great details on the fronts. The fronts sound a bit scary to me so I will stay away and let the dealer handle. The rears, however, seem to be much, much easier. So replacing pads and rotors on rear can be done for less than $300 if we do it ourselves.

I forgot to ask..if I do this myself can I get away with just replacing pads only ? DO the rotors have to be changed?

Hi. New to the forum. May be perfect timing. Our 1999 LX470 is in the shop right now getting the 60,000 servicing. During the inspection they found that the pads on both front and rear are down to 3-4mm and they are sugesting we have the brakes done. Brakes will run us an additional $1,000 on top of the 60,000 mile servicing. Bad timing here. Anyone have any insight and/or experience doing brakes yourself on your LX470 ? My father-in-law just did rotors and pads for me on my 1996 VW Passt. Any reason to think we couldn't do the brakes on our LX470? Help??? :cries:
