After searching for a clean Land Cruiser / Lexus450 I responded to an add on Mr. Connors web site. Vehicle looked clean and had Diff Loc (locking differential ) an option that was a must have. Mr. Connor assured me that the vehicle had this option as specificaly photographed in the ad (a switch on the dash) but they were not working properly (would light up indicater on dash and click under the floor but were repairable). Said he had driven the car several times with his family and everything worked and no "funny smells " etc. I wired him the $8700 and made arrangements to have truck sent to TX. When the vehicle arrived it was dark green not black as stated and not discernible in photo, it had no Diff Loc option, non operational parking lights, non operational driver remote mirror, radio that does not stay on and no driver sun visor not to mention the moldy smell. After contacting Mr. Connor (after SEVERAL unreturned calls) he stated that he didn't know that the vehicle did not REALLY have Diff Locs and no explanation of why the switch was present on the dash and had no comment on the other problems nor an explanation of how a light indicator could come on for an accessory that did not exist . He further stated that I should not have any trouble selling the car in Texas if I really didn't want it, but he was NOT going to stand behind it. The vehicle was totally misrepresented nor did he send the temporary license with the vehicle so it's not even legally drivable until it is registered in Texas. He was not the same person that I talked to before he was sent my money. Be aware of this "dealer". He is the typical used car salesman and I would caution anyone that this is not a dealership or person to do business with.
