The GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY 100 series LX470! 

Another diamond from Cali 👍

It was not hard to add a modern stereo with Apple play and Back up cameras to these early cars. It’s actually easier than later years with the HVAC controls integrated in the stereo

As always, I enjoyed your video. my wife and I are a Lexus family. We purchased our Lexus cars new. She drives a 2002 Lexus LS 430 black exterior and interior chrome wheels gold package 157,000 miles I drive a 1998 Lexus LX470 since new 309,000 miles color looks metallic grey to me but it says some sort of green. not the green in your video Great SUV I learnt something about my car that was in your video my SUV has that sticker,so built in Japan She is still rock solid downside, like you had mentioned, 26 year old car, and some parts are harder to find in the engine compartment, the fuse box, the 20amp fuse for the EFI relay, the fuse over time loosens in the box itself. when you start the car, if the check engine light comes on, the car will start. no check engine light, the car will not start. this loose fuse connector inside the box is not fixable, because the box does not come apart easily. I guess, anything can be fixed though if this fuse box was available new, I would purchase it. not available, discontinued A 1999 fuse box is available new, but will not fit. yes, I can find and purchased a used fuse box, but who knows if it has the same problem has mine ? I am taking it to an electrical shop that my Lexus dealer recommended and he is going to bypass the bad fuse with an inline fuse, so I will have a reliable car again. frustrating, as both cars have been serviced only at the Lexus dealer, with OEM parts. I do like your 2000 green LX470 in the video, and I will keep an eye out for it when it goes for sale thanks again John from Goodyear, AZ ps : yes, not high tech, but I have a cassette deck !!!

no Chris, we did not talk about a LS430 I apologize for talking about the 430. just a great car thank you Chris

Awesome video Chris. I got myself a .3 07 LX470. Absolutely love it. The con is that headlight fading due to the plastic lens and the updated tech the 200s received. Do you know if I can replace my .3 headlights with the .1 headlights? That way I'll never have to worry about them fading ever again.

I have a “dot 2” which I’m planning to sell soon and I prefer the “dot 1” more. I think even more than the “dot 3”. The main think I don’t like about the newer ones is the center stack. The 03s and up have an awful center screen which of course have the ac controls integrated. It’s awful. The 01 and 02 nav optioned screens are better than the latter ones. The buttons on my 04 are hard to push and there’s often an awful glare from the sun that streaks across the screen so I can’t see it. With the 98-02 (01 and 02 non nav option) you can easily swap out the radio and put in a new touch screen with a warranty from Best Buy. If you want to do that with an 03 or later you need to depend on some super expensive complicated touch screen unit with the ac controls integrated from some Chinese market. My 99 4Runner has glass headlights and I’d love it if my 04 lx did. Another reason why a dot 1 is better for me. It’s really a later 90’s truck that they designed while there were some huge modernizations coming into cars and they tried to modernize a dinosaur as much as possible.

what color paint is this? code?

Omg this has that sexy green and when you went toward the rear panel and i saw that gold package I just rolled over and died. This thing is pure perfection 🙌🏿
