Great condition 2017 Lexus GX460.  Luxury trim with rear air suspension, Mark Levinson audio, drivers assistance package. Accessories include dealer installed Lexus trailer hitch and Lexus roof rail cross bars.  4WD computer was upgraded to enable crawl control and multi-terrain select (wasn't a factory option for USA spec models).  The upgrade is plug and play with a Lexus factory computer, not a 3rd party computer. I have the original factory computer as well if the seller wants it.  Books are included.  4 lo and center diff lock work as intended and have been regularly exercised.  For those who aren't aware, failure to exercise over time can result in a stuck electric shift activator requiring the transfer case to be replaced.  Vehicle will come with a few Lexus oil filters and a Lexus serpentine belt for future maintenance. Additionally, for an extra cost, I have winter tires mounted on gx460 wheels with cloned TPMS sensors (no need to reprogram when you swap them out).   Car has treated us very well over the last 5 years, but have upgraded to a larger vehicle.  Test drives are welcome for serious buyers.  Also for serious buyers, happy to support a 3rd party inspection at your cost (reasonably close inspection location and works with my availability).  Clean title in hand.

Cooling system needs attention. New radiator but still needs some work.  Wiling to negotiate price accordingly.

How PrivateAuto Works

Center

1. Make an offer

2. Schedule the meetup

3. Seal the deal

Left

We are the world’s first [automotive transactional marketplace](https://privateauto.com/what-is-a-transactional-marketplace). Everything you need to get the deal done, right in the palm of your hand. No giving out personal information. No stress about how to [transfer funds](https://privateauto.com/payments/the-best-way-to-pay-for-a-car). It’s so streamlined and intuitive, you’ll hardly believe it.

We streamline the process of buying a used car from a private seller. Here are the steps involved.

### Browse private-party used vehicles for sale.
Take a look at our awesome car listings. Sort and filter by make, model, vehicle type, geography, and other criteria. Whether you’re shopping for a Land Rover, a Honda Civic, or a Ford Mustang, you’ll find great vehicles from private-party sellers.

### Make offers on vehicles you like
When you see a vehicle you like, make an offer. Unlike other platforms, PrivateAuto allows you to offer what you’re willing to pay—instead of accepting the seller’s asking price.

### Schedule the test drive
When a seller accepts your offer, you can schedule a meetup without ever sharing your contact info. Messaging and scheduling happen within the PrivateAuto app.

### Get an inspection and vehicle history report
You can opt for a [vehicle inspection](https://privateauto.com/used-vehicle-inspection-guide) if you want to be sure about the car’s condition. You also may want to get a vehicle history report (included with premium listing on PrivateAuto).

### Finalize paperwork with the seller
When you and the seller meet for the test drive, you can handle the [title transfer](https://privateauto.com/blog/title-transfer), bill of sale, and other necessary [paperwork](https://privateauto.com/paperwork) in minutes. You and the seller will go through the transaction sequence in our mobile app, including signing an [official bill of sale](https://privateauto.com/bill-of-sale) that protects you both.

### Pay for the car
After the seller signs the bill of sale, you will be prompted to release payment via [PrivateAuto Pay, our integrated banking gateway](https://privateauto.com/payments/privateauto-pay). Funds will transfer instantly to the seller, any time of day, any day of the year. No fees for the money transfer. It’s magic. Using PrivateAuto Pay, you can even buy a car remotely—without the need for [escrow services](https://privateauto.com/escrow-service-for-used-car-transactions).

### Finalize with the DMV
After the car is yours, you’ll need to go to your local DMV (or equivalent motor vehicle regulatory agency for your state) to handle registration, transfer the [vehicle title](https://privateauto.com/title) into your name in the state records, and other procedural matters. Depending on your state, you may also need to [get new license plates](https://privateauto.com/blog/how-to-get-new-license-plates) and pay car sales tax.

How to Buy a Used Car From a Private Seller

Historically, buying a used car from a private party had its pros and cons (PrivateAuto removes the cons and leaves you with the pros).

### Pros
1. More bang for your buck. Dealerships need to buy low and sell high to make a profit. The average price of a private-party used car should be lower than you could find at a dealer. Plus, PrivateAuto allows you to make offers; you never know when a motivated seller will accept.
2. More selection. Private seller cars vastly outnumber dealership cars, meaning that you can have far more vehicles from which to choose. [PrivateAuto even helps you to buy a car remotely](https://privateauto.com/blog/buying-a-car-long-distance-from-a-private-seller) if you find your dream vehicle in another state.

### Cons
1. Risk. You don’t know who you’re dealing with and the private-party used car market is awash with fraudsters. That’s why PrivateAuto requires identity verification from all buyers and sellers on our platform. Plus, we protect your personal information by routing all communication and interaction through our app, keeping you safe.
2. Inconvenience. With a private car purchase, you have to arrange payment, and there haven’t been a lot of great [ways to move funds between strangers](https://privateauto.com/payments/the-best-way-to-pay-for-a-car)—until now. PrivateAuto Pay allows you to instantly send unlimited transfers, fee-free, 24/7/365.

PrivateAuto gives you dealer-like convenience in the palm of your hand, yet you get the rewards of buying from a private seller. Whether you’re buying a pickup truck, a Dodge Charger, a Kia Optima, or a Toyota Tacoma, we help you get the deal done safely, securely, and conveniently.

Enjoy a seamless and safe transaction with PrivateAuto. 


Why is a Private Car Purchase Better?

PrivateAuto is [the best place to buy a used car online](https://privateauto.com/blog/where-is-the-best-place-to-buy-a-used-car-online) because we offer full transactional infrastructure that is self-serve. Where [other sites](https://privateauto.com/competitors) serve as “meetingplaces” that merely connect a buyer to a seller, PrivateAuto gives you the tools to get the deal done, from first contact to payment.

All messaging, negotiating, and scheduling happen in our app. You never disclose personal information. And we facilitate instantaneous, fee-free payments without exposing your financial information. 

Even though we’re [the best car-buying app](https://privateauto.com/buy/best-car-buying-app), we don’t hate other listing sites. In fact, we love them so much that we created a solution just for them. It’s called DealNow.

What is the best place to buy a car online?

Even though PrivateAuto is amazing, we know that you may find a great car listed for sale elsewhere, such as on Facebook Marketplace or [Craigslist](https://privateauto.com/blog/craigslist-vs-privateauto). We also know that these sites will leave you in the lurch when it comes to getting the transaction completed.

That’s why we created DealNow. DealNow lets you find a car for sale on another site, and then buy it with our awesome transactional workflow. You skip the marketplace aspect of PrivateAuto and go straight into a streamlined transaction.
 
Here’s how it works:

1. [Invite the seller to DealNow](https://privateauto.com/dealnow) via a custom link.
2. Enjoy identity verification, in-app messaging, and our test drive scheduling feature (none of which require you to exchange contact info).
3. Meet the seller, and drive the car.
4. You and the seller go together through a step-by-step transaction process in which you each confirm relevant details right in the PrivateAuto mobile app. From mileage to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the condition of the vehicle, we help you both prevent any errors.
5. You and the seller each electronically sign an official bill of sale. This is stored in your PrivateAuto account as a legal record you can refer to down the road.
6. You will then be prompted to initiate payment.
7. The seller will get a notification of funds received and confirm receipt of payment.
8. The seller signs over the car title and hands over the keys.

DealNow is so smooth, so safe, and so fast that you’ll never want to buy a car without it. No matter where you find your seller—from eBay Motors to [Autotrader](https://privateauto.com/blog/autotrader-vs-privateauto) to the friend of a friend—DealNow will help you get the deal done.

What is DealNow?

Filter our used car listings by geography to find private-party used cars for sale near you. Whether you live in Miami, Sacramento, Denver, or Des Moines, you can enter your city and state to find private seller cars in your area.

How can I find used cars for sale near me?

If you want to sell your used car, you can create a listing on PrivateAuto and set your own price. When buyers contact you, we allow you to interact with them without disclosing your personal information. We help you get the deal done, from easy test drive scheduling to instant payment transfer. [Get started selling your car here](https://privateauto.com/sell).

How can I sell my car?

In most states, you’ll need to get new license plates from your local DMV. California and Minnesota are exceptions because they mandate that sellers leave the license plates on the car when it changes owners. [Read our state-by-state guide to license plates](https://privateauto.com/license-plates) for more details.

Will I need to get new license plates after buying a used car from a private seller?

Each state sets its own license plate fees, and there is a wide variance between states. [Our complete guide to license plate costs](https://privateauto.com/blog/how-much-do-license-plates-cost) gives the facts.


How much do license plates cost?

The three most important factors when considering used cars for sale are the following:

1. Vehicle mileage
2. Vehicle age
3. Vehicle maintenance history

A well-maintained high-mileage older vehicle may well be in better condition than a lower-mileage, newer vehicle that was abused and poorly maintained. Ultimately, you want to find a car that has been taken care of. Obviously, you’ll also want to find the latest-model, lowest-mileage used car for your budget.

What is more important, car age or mileage?

When buying a used car from a private party, the first step is for the seller to sign the title over to you. After that, you need to apply for a title transfer with your state. 

How do I transfer the title after buying a car from a private seller?

If you’re looking for a low-priced used car, an older model might be the way to go. Cars 10 years old or older can often be in fairly good condition if they are well-maintained. Mileage is another factor: a low-mileage car may have only 50,000 miles at 10 years old, while a high-mileage car may have 200,000 or more miles by then. Do your research and get an inspection and vehicle history report.

Is a 10-year-old car too old?

eBay Motors is not a true transactional marketplace; they are more of a “meetingplace” where the buyer and seller can connect. They then have to facilitate the logistics of the transaction outside of [eBay Motors](https://privateauto.com/competitors/ebay-motors-vs-private-auto). 

PrivateAuto, in contrast, is the only transactional marketplace that provides all the infrastructure to get the deal done.

If you find a car on eBay Motors that you want to buy, you can use our fast-track [DealNow](https://privateauto.com/dealnow) workflow to take advantage of the PrivateAuto transactional infrastructure. 


How is PrivateAuto better than eBay Motors?

Craigslist is known for having scammers who attempt to prey on naive vehicle buyers. To [avoid getting ripped off when buying a car on Craigslist](https://privateauto.com/blog/how-to-sell-a-car-on-craigslist-without-getting-scammed), it's important to follow some basic rules.

1. Research the car: before contacting the seller, investigate the car's make and model to discover its value, common troubles, and characteristics. This information will assist you in making an informed selection and avoiding a too-good-to-be-true deal.
2. Meet in person: before making any payment, always see the vendor in person and inspect the vehicle. be aware of sellers that refuse to meet you or offer to ship the automobile to you.
3. Go over the car history report: using the vehicle identifying number (VIN), obtain a vehicle history report to check for any accidents, ownership history, and other relevant information.
4. Avoid merchants who insist on [bank transfers](https://privateauto.com/payments/paying-for-a-car-by-bank-transfer) or other non-traditional payment methods, as these are frequently associated with fraud.
5. Invite the seller to complete the deal on PrivateAuto’s DealNow fast-track solution. Our safeguards will deter most scammers and protect you.
6. Trust your instincts: if something appears fishy or too good to be true, go with your gut and walk away from the trade.

By doing these things, you may be less likely to be scammed and more likely to have a successful Craigslist transaction.

To prioritize your security, buy your next used car on PrivateAuto, where all sellers have undergone identity verification and your personal information is kept private.


How do I avoid getting scammed on a Craigslist car sale?

Face recognition technology is used to make sure that both buyers and sellers are who they say they are. Buyers must provide driver's license information, an email address, and a phone number. This personal information is hidden from other buyers and sellers and is only used to verify the user's identity.

Sellers must enter the VIN for the vehicle and create a profile before listing. A VIN is critical to investigating the ownership of a vehicle and determining whether the title is clear (not a [salvage title](https://privateauto.com/blog/what-is-a-salvage-title) or some other sort of branded title). Buyers and sellers can enjoy peace of mind on PrivateAuto knowing that both parties have been thoroughly vetted.

How does PrivateAuto vet buyers and sellers?

[Used car prices seem to be dipping](https://privateauto.com/blog/used-car-prices-dropping) slightly from their all-time high, but they’re not dropping precipitously. Demand is still strong, and PrivateAuto will always be the best place to complete a private-party vehicle transaction.

Are used car prices falling?

In states that levy [sales tax on vehicle purchases](https://privateauto.com/sales-taxes), the buyer pays the tax. Not only will the buyer be responsible for state sales tax, but they may also be liable for local (city or county, or both) taxes.
