Buying a used '03/'04 GX HELP!
I’m looking to purchase a used 2003-2004 GX 470 with NAV option soon.
A few questions I’m unsure:
Do you know if 2003 have back up camera or just 2004 only?
Also, I look at the 2004; the engine said “4.7L DOHC SFI 32-valve V8”
While the 2003, the engine is as “4.7L (286) Quad Cam EFI 32-valve”
Anybody knows the different?
For the '03 GX that I was interest in, when looking at the service records done at a Lexus dealership, the description was as followed “03 & OLDER 8 CYL
70,000 SERVICE: 70,000 MILE SERVICE ALL MODELS: REPLACE ENGINE”
What is “REPLACE ENGINE” means? Just a matter of description or it meant as an engine was replaced?
Any problems I should know about '03/'04 GX 470?
Thanks.

"replace engine" could have been "replace engine oil"
hard to tell without seeing it.
lots of info here, just search.

My '03 is fully optioned out and there was no backup camera offered as far as I know. Not sure about the double vs. quad overhead cam. I'd have to dig through the documentation. Also, that service message would have been about the engine oil. I doubt that I would have missed a recommendation to replace the whole engine

Um. Why? The 05 has the same engine and tranny. Nav update I will agree with I guess, but I'm not obsessed with the thing. It's there, it's updated.
The 03/04 had nothing wrong with them either. Few less ponies, the 03 didn't have the sealed tranny but other than that I don't think there were many other updates.
I was looking at 06-08 but I ran across my 05 with 19K miles on it. Easy choice. Plus in my little brain, my color kicks *** and isn't available after 2005.

Yes! ..and YES YES YES!!! The Silver Pine Metallic is FANTASTIC!! I have the Blue Meridian. I honestly thought I was going to go look at nautical blue but when I saw the BM, I fell in two seconds. I was looking for the SPM but I couldn't find it with decent miles.

Both of these colors deserve consideration for a comeback on the 2012 GX460. And the best accessory to bring out the colors are factory chrome wheels IMO.
