New here and to the Lexus brand. Traded in my jeep grand cherokee for a CPO 2017 GX Luxury with 5K miles on it. Love the look and feel of the ride. Has the perfect mix of luxury and utilitarian look that seemed impossible to find unless you drop big $. It is unbelievably quiet inside it compared to previous Jeep models I've owned.
Lexus really does things right. The whole searching and buying process with them was outstanding. I see now why they have such a loyal following. My only knock on it is the mpg using premium gas but I knew that going in. Great to see the overwhelming amount of owners on here happy with their GX.

Congratulations! I totally with out about the quality and quietness of the GX. The first time my wife sat in it during the test drive, she was amazed of how quiet it is and how stable it rides. After she sat in my niece's NX 200, she said it feels like a Camry LOL.

how much did you end up paying for it?

Thanks all. My first V8 with low mpg so I've changed my driving habits to conserve fuel vs my normal more aggessive style. That said, I love this suv so much that being in the car a little longer isn't a bad thing. No plan for mods at the moment. But may change any non LED lighting to LED. Maybe change our stock wheels and tires but I'm happy with what I got for now. The information on this site is awesome. So much info and just a positive vibe. Reading this site helped convinced me to buy one.

I paid $51K for it. Listed at 52K. 2017 certified pre owned with just over 5k miles. Luxury trim w/ 2nd row captain chairs. Silver with black interior. Looks brand new on inside and out. The ride is so damn smooth that I no longer hear my golf clubs banging around in the back.
Dealer would not budge much at all but dropped it 1K and adding on another $500 to my trade. Did my research and knew I wouldn't find this trim package with this low of mileage for this price nearby.
Curious of anyone's feedback on price. I did my research and felt like I got a deal so I didn't push it to the limit with the salesman or risk someone else buying it out from under me.

Congrats! When your'e ready to mod and go off-roading, highly recommend joining the GXOR - GX Offroad facebook group with 6000+ active GX members. Great GX community with tremendous resources.

Sounds like you got a good deal too. At first I test drove a base 2018. No packages. MSRP was $56K and they had a 4k rebate. Columbus OH area. On the saturday I visited for the test drive the sales guy told me they sold 4 that day. Could be BS but in the hour I was there I saw about 5-6 people test driving the GX. Agree on the LCD, it should be better but it does what I need it to do. I need to spend the time and personalize it. Correct me if I'm wrong but Enform doesn't allow you store music on a hard drive right? I miss that. Guess I'll just use a mega thumb drive.

While there is an entry in FSM about this feature in 2010 I don't believe it was ever implemented in the 460. It would appear music industry lawsuits got this feature removed from most automakers vehicles. I have feature in my '07 G35x.

Here is one example:
