So I was searching for parts and found this IS500 for sale.. it's auction and starts in 51 days or so. Not sure if anyone would be interested or not, but figured I would put it out there for y'all.

Sucks for whoever owned this one but...

Here is the link.

Could take the engine and stuff it into our GX470, or even better our FZJ80 !!

Wonder if they are willing to part with the Enkei wheels? Well, maybe not the front right... (smile)

If this actually sells for the estimated $26,000 price, judging from pictures alone, it seems like the person would get a hell of a deal. It appears to be mostly cosmetic with some suspension parts. Going off from what I can see,

• 1 tire
• 1 wheel
• front bumper
• 2 front sonar sensors
• gloss black "foglight" trim
• 1 triple beam headlight
• Passenger fender
• Side mirror assembly
• LCA
• Strut
• Some sort of reservoir
• A couple air ducts

I'm randomly guessing here but I estimate it to be about $8000-$10000 in parts and another $5000-$6000 in labor, assuming you don't do it yourself. The way I see it, somebody could have an IS500 for $40-45k. Rebuilt title obviously but an IS500 nonetheless

Hurts to see but hope the winner enjoys it. Why does it take so long to start the auction?

It sold for $38,000. Way too much in my opinion. Estimating $12-15,000 in repairs, this puts it at $53,000 for a rebuilt title IS500. I feel like $30,000 was the cap for it to actually be a deal.

if it get's rebuilt it will be by cutting many corners.
