Default Son in law and daughter just bought a '13 LX570

My daughter and s-i-l are at a Lexus dealer in Towson,MD today picking up a loaded '13 LX in Nebula Gray with black gut.Worth the 200 + mile drive as his trade number was much higher along with a small discount off sticker than he couldn't get here in the NYC metro area.Not many LX's around.Deal numbers were done over the phone.
They traded a silver '10 LX 570.
I'm looking forward to seeing the new '13 up close with the LEDs and HIDs.I will post pics when I can.

Great vehilce... sharper look with the new Spindle Grill! Rear entertainment is great as well! Sportier wheels, still containing a luxurious feel!
Can't beat the new Enform 2.0 either! (iHeart Radio, Pandora, etc.) Unbelievable!

Very nice upgrades and trim on the '13 vs the '10 LX .HIDs now on the LX too.I believe the truck has every option at around $89800.Spindle grill looks great.
To me,it looks better on a truck or SUV.
Not great quick shot pics using the phone and dealer lighting but here's a few exterior shots.
They're still at the dealer.Always takes long.

Congrats to them! They definitely went in the right direction even though the '10 LX was a great truck as it is.

The '10 is a nice truck.The '13 has a lot of new features.
I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a truck but 'to each his own'.
If I'm spending that kind of coin,I'd go Porsche Carrera S.

Congrats to them! My gf and I are looking for the a '13 as well, and she is dead set on this ride. Too large for my taste, but she likes the roominess and it is very luxurious and spacious inside and out. Hope they enjoy it!

Congratulations. Great combination of luxury/refinement, comfort, and off-road capability. And, unlike the its closest-competitor Range-Rover, it probably won't spend most of its time in the shop for repairs.

Now that they have a brand-new paint-job, BTW (and Lexus paint-jobs, IMO, rank among the best), I highly-recommend this to help keep it looking that way.

Impressive find. Agreed, the spindle looks best on the bigger UTES.
Must admit, I'm jealous of those who can swap vehicles like that. The 2010 was no compromise. ; )
