Owner's Pitch
"Meticulously maintained 2001 LX470 'Off-Roader' in excellent condition. Features new high-end suspension and wheel package on a rust-free California frame. The legendary 4.7L V8 is just breaking in. Clean title and smog-ready. A rare opportunity to own a built 100-series Land Cruiser twin in Southern California."

Market Highlights
- The 100-Series Renaissance: In 2026, the Lexus LX470 and its Land Cruiser sibling are viewed as the gold standard for mechanical longevity. Buyers value the over-engineered build quality and simplicity of the 2001-era electronics compared to modern, sensor-heavy alternatives.
- Coastal Market Dynamics: Southern California remains the strongest market in the country for these vehicles. The absence of road salt means the frames remain structurally sound for decades, allowing these SUVs to trade for double the price of East Coast examples.
- Modified Value Retention: Unlike typical passenger cars, high-quality off-road modifications on an LX470 often retain 50-70% of their cost in the secondary market. Buyers are willing to pay a premium for 'ready-to-go' builds that avoid shop wait times and labor costs.
