GarageScout Take

This 1997 LX450 has received significant mechanical and cosmetic attention recently, including a replacement engine and brake overhaul. The high mileage and multiple refinishing efforts suggest active upkeep rather than preservation.

Strengths

  • Replacement 4.5L inline-six installed recently with documented mileage
  • Brake system overhauled during current ownership
  • Multiple refinished exterior panels maintaining color match
  • Comprehensive factory equipment including ARB bumper, sunroof, and leather interior
  • Clean Carfax report and accompanying manufacturer's literature with spare parts

Watch For

  • High odometer reading at 212,000 miles
  • Multiple exterior panels refinished under current ownership
  • Four-speed automatic transmission is dated compared to modern alternatives
  • Minnesota title lists odometer as 'Not Required', potentially limiting odometer verification
