re: Lexus GX 470, pros and cons?Posted by Ace Midnight on 7/17/15 at 2:09 pm to WDE24
Cons: Price
Obviously it will not ride like a car based SUV. Often purchasers in this market are shocked and react negatively to a body-on-frame SUV riding like a body-on-frame SUV.
It is not great on fuel economy.
However, this is your Lexus variant of the 4Runner, with significant capabilities and Toyota's bulletproof, legendary reliability. If I were shopping in that segment, that's my candidate to beat (or a loaded 4Runner - it would be close between those 2 just because of my own Toyota bias).
(ETA: A mid-00s LX remains the nicest, quietest vehicle in which I've ever ridden.)

I feel like I missed a joke when I went to lunch. This is at least the second reference to that. What's the joke?
It's from yesterday. An OT balla was bragging about buying his 15yr old Taekwondo World Champ a $45K Mustang GT with his disability money. The OT went to work as usual.

You nailed my thoughts on it so far.

That thread is more than a day old, but I get it now. Thanks
ETA: Didn't even realize that was a follow up thread, just assumed by the number of pages he changed his original thread's title. Guess I was too busy at work to see that thread that day

I would drive one. Guy I work with has one and I like it a lot.
Of course, traditionally, it's also been one of the only ways to get a 4runner without a fricking soviet-styled interior.

08 or 09 models.
8 yrs old is the first con coming to mind.

Yeah. That doesn't bother me with certain vehicles. These age will imo, unless there is a specific issue you are referring to. I know they need a costly timing belt replacement about every 90k.
