that's what i was gonna say... landcruiser... that would be a nice truck too but i have some very vain family members who only know two brands of car - lexus and mercedes... they don't even notice my infiniti coupe much less my jeep... hahaha

^We like infiniti's but again, the qx is to big, the fx, and the ex to small. The jx coming out might be an option, but we have yet to see one in person. Jeeps, well to be honest, never really been a fan of american cars, they offer a lot for the money, but quality just isn't there.

the 2nd gen qx56 is def a nice truck... a little bit too much of testosterone injection into the design but overall very nice truck... right size i think... but more money than i would've like to spend with it being very recently redesigned so not much used models to pick from... still love my gx470 tho... can't beat it for what it is...

I am bumping this up because i am wondering about rust. Our lx470 the frame looks pretty rusty and the rear hatch is rusty as well. Is there any concerns with structural or certain places that gx470's rust at? There is on at the Cleveland dealer i just drove, is real clean and low mileage, but curious as to weather rust is a major concern

Lower miles with a maintenance history is the best bet, I wouldnt worry about the year unless you want the certified warranty. I know you probably know this already but if not, you can run the VIN at http://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/home and see the maintenance thats been done through Lexus.
I just bought my GX about 2 weeks ago. Its an '05, 1 owner and the lady had EVERY service / maintenance done at our local Lexus dealer, I have over 5 pages of stuff. She religiously took it in every 5K miles for an oil change and tire rotation. That was a huge plus for me when I bought mine.
Good luck!
