Why this LX470

This Blue Vapor Metallic LX470 spent time in Alaska and Arizona before arriving in the Midwest, resulting in a well-preserved frame and body with minimal corrosion. Unlike many rust-belt SUVs, its underside is clean with typical surface oxidation only, supported by our inspection and photographic documentation. The interior features gray leather, wood accents, a sunroof, premium audio, power seating, and a spacious three-row cabin — perfect for families or towing gear for outdoor adventures. Third row seats are usually available very cheap in the used market. These seats were removed for more storage.
