1997 LEXUS LX 450 FOR SALE.

SOLD | KING'S CHARIOT | JACKSONVILLE, FL

If you need to go far, take a Toyota Land Cruiser. If you need to go far in style, take a Lexus LX.

With this 1997 Lexus LX 450, you don't need to compromise between prowess and prestige. Despite surpassing the 200k mile milestone, this is one clean and well-maintained example with a handful of tasteful off-road modifications. And, in any case, age and mileage are but numbers when it comes to the legendary J80 4x4 platform.

Offered from King's Chariot in Jacksonville, Florida for $27,200, this 1997 Lexus LX 450 sports a gorgeous Cashmere Beige Metallic (4M9) exterior coat and the ever-potent twin-cam 4.5L 1FZ-FE inline 6 motor, which is mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission and offers 215 horsepower and 275 lb.-ft. torque.

Lexus LX 450: Off-Road Goes Luxury.

We can (and have) wax on ad nauseam about the virtues of the early Lexus LX - a Land Cruiser cousin with Lexus badging and finishes. Suffice to say, we are obsessed.

And, we're not the only ones.

Values for the J80 Lexus LX, produced for only the 1996 and 1997 model years, have surged in recent years, outpacing the already-aggressive used car market as savvy collectors and enthusiasts seek value in less traditional 4x4s marques.
