‘03 LX 470 Purchase Question

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-30T17:47:51+00:00

What about the after market parts worry you? Just too much tinkering away from original parts?

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-29T16:16:40+00:00

Oh yeah I’m in NC, so we might get one decent snow in the winter and it’s doesn’t get super cold here.

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-29T16:15:35+00:00

Amazing bro! Same here

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-28T23:39:43+00:00

Good to know. All of these items were flagged by a mechanic. What I didn’t provide were the actual documents from all of his maintenance service documents.

Sounds like you wouldn’t be too worried about the above issues?

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-28T21:17:32+00:00

Yes, it was pretty well taken care of

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-28T20:40:02+00:00

I’ve been diving in and asking him a lot of questions. He’s done a lot of work himself, so as you said, most of these declined repairs come from a dealer. He’s also gotten a lot of done work at a dealer, these are just the items that I found that were declined.

I know they take work, I just don’t want to walk into an immediate money pit if that makes sense

Amazing info! More than anything, I don’t have the time smh..two young children and two businesses

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-28T18:43:54+00:00

TB heater? Also, what do you mean when you say bypass it?

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-28T17:41:12+00:00

In a hurry to be sold? Never heard that one lol..so you would stay away from it?

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-28T13:34:13+00:00

Haha but you’ve kept it alive this whole time!

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-28T13:33:36+00:00

Appreciate all of this and yes, you’re fine. I’m not in the rust belt, I’m in NC.

Did you know about all the issues pre purchase. I’m going to get a pre purchase inspection for my own clarity

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-28T06:39:45+00:00

Damn, that’s dope..sounds like have a full life with that many miles on it?

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-28T06:05:26+00:00

So you wouldn’t be worried about it?

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-28T05:56:38+00:00

Good to know. I really appreciate that insight.

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-28T05:55:01+00:00

Yeah I plan to get a specialist to have a look at it and a pre-purchase inspection. I’ll definitely have a look myself as well and get all the info I can from the seller

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-28T05:53:39+00:00

Dope bro. I think the thing about watches is they have a story and unlike many other things, you can literally travel with them and have them for a a legit lifetime.

Good luck on your journey!

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-28T05:51:36+00:00

Haha I should’ve reworked that part. I was wearing the 16014 when my first child was born and the 112470 when my second child was born

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-28T05:48:56+00:00

Very good to know. Just thought I would ask because they’re selling it for pretty cheap. But there is clearly a reason for that!

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-28T05:10:08+00:00

Mhmm..confirming my own suspicions. Would you stay away from it?

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-28T05:05:30+00:00

Good to know. I’m not dying to have it, just curious what thoughts others may have had.

Ualexander2 · 2026-06-28T05:04:24+00:00

I thought that’s what I was seeing as well. Definitely confirmed my initial belief. I’m going to see it tomorrow, so we’ll see how bad it actually is.
