Default Going to maybe buy a GX. Any TSB's or issues I should look out for at the dealership?

I am exited to say I am seeing two GX's this week.

One is a 2006 black on black. $22k Fully equipped. It's 101k miles though at about blue book price. So I am asking to take it into a Lexus dealer for a check even though they say they give it a 300 count check at their Audi dealer. Black on black is gonna get really hot in Cali but I love the combo.

The other Is about 72k miles 2007 white with tan interior. But it's allot more at $26k. Gonna be really hard to negotiate for that one. I need to keep in at about $20k. Plus I really am not a big fan of the tan interior. But LOVE the white.

I am worried about the Rear Air suspension. I have it on my RX but it's aftermarket. I know the potential nightmare if it goes on you.

I believe you know how to use the "search" function. Plenty of threads that highlight the major issues.

You mean black and grey interior? I wished they had black interiors.

Yeah dark grey. It said it on the sale but I just did not believe it till I saw it in person. But I bought it either way.
