Stolen Lexus LX470 Emerges From Storage With Only 1,000 Miles

This virtually new LX comes with an amazing story and an equally amazing price tag. Check out this truly hidden gem of an SUV inside.

Quite a story. However, I'm not sure who would be willing to spend 145,000 on a car like this... Is it that desirable?

I wonder if there are a few shills in there driving the price up... they usually work their way down the list and find someone willing to pay their bid...

There are a lot of VERY nice cars for a lot less money. An LX470 is not a collectible classic.

If t gets bought at that price, or anywhere near there, I can almost guarantee it’ll be by someone overseas

i Guess you can ask what ever you want but getting it is another story. It’s cool but not $145,000 cool

...but the Toyota Landcruiser is.....which is what this one is. Having said that, the price is too high IMO.

If I had a cool couple million dollars laying around I would buy it in a heartbeat. The price is way too high but I love the LX enough that I would take it anyway if money weren't a problem.

Unfortunately I am broke.

I agree I would buy it no question if money was no object.

Wait another 10 years and check current pricing on an ultra-clean FJ40.
