if you're gonna sell an 'excellent conditon' lexus it better have all the lugs on the wheel, c'mon that's not asking too much for basic safety stuff

i have a feeling the guy is still running the same tires - tires were in decent shape but quite old.

Making it even more likely the guy has been skipping maintenance if it's missing basic stuff like a lug nut and running oldass tires if tofu's guess is correct.

I do not feel any safety issue with 4/5 bolts holding my wheel on for the time being.
Suit yourself/fail me all you want though.
I'd be more concerned about tire wear and maintenance / accident history as others have alluded to. I guess I also wouldn't put my car up for sale while it was missing one... but the general population, in case 1 day of driving around the lower mainland doesn't make it obvious for you, is not exactly operating at even a moderate level of intelligence.

can you run around w 4/5 lugs? sure. you could prob get away w 2 on hubcentric wheels
it's ghetto AF tho. Same as people selling cars w any cheap fixes needing attention. spend a few hours and a hundred bucks at lordco fixing the lowest hanging fruit. Keeps the low ballers at bay and you'll get it back for sure.
It's like "i didn't have time to wash it" guy. Well GLWS pal, I'm not even coming to see it.

some of the lowest common denom also believe you can run on a doughnut for 6 months, should you sell a vehicle still on one?
yeah but "didn't get around to it"
at the very least put a disclaimer that the wheel isn't 100% secured on
and it just leads to more question: is the seller careless losing a key? overtightened the lugs to have stripped the key? skimping on the most obvious maintenance etc

91 LS400 - $2700 - 213,000KM.
Not sure I would pay $2700, but if the price is flexible might be worth checking out..... https://vancouver.craigslist.org/pml...986664502.html  | |

I don’t think I’d touch a pre-2010 Hyundai with a 10’ pole. Everyone I know who had one hated it and couldn’t seem to get rid of it fast enough.

I recall watching a video saying filling it up with hydrogen costs more than filling a gas car to get the same range so there are no gas savings  | |

Has anyone here dealt with the private dealer Company Of Cars? Was considering checking out one of their cars, but always tended to be a bit Leary of private dealers.
