does the LX have the goofy side folding rear seats like the LC, that take up a lot of room?

no. The second gen did. The third gen have normal third row seats that actually fit up to 3 people and leave some cargo room too. And I really like the glass / tailgate style liftgate

I would take what you call "goofy" side folding rear seats x100 on the stupid barn door we have on GX. At least these seats CAN BE removed if you need the space unlike the barn door. Even RAV4 switched to proper tailgate. Let's see how long it will take Toyota to make the switch in the GX

IIRC...all the LX 570s have 3rd row that power folds to the sides. Much like the 460... if you pull out the 3rd row you are going to leave them out as complexity of removal does not make it practical to remove/reinstall for temporary seating arrangements. I've seen a few threads somewhere..maybe IH8Mud of someone removing the 3rd row on 570s. IMO..if 3rd row seat removal was important ..you would want to get a Land Cruiser instead.

Yes she is familiar with minivans and fully aware of the functionality and practicality. we owned a 2004 sienna xle from 2006-2010 and it was awesome. I’ll continue to try but I’m not willing to fight over it or make an executive decision because it’s her dd, not mine. She let me buy a sweet tundra. Lol

smart man and a fair husband.

I'll buy whatever my wife prefers (we both know what we can afford). I'll do my parts of explaining the good, the bad, and the ugly and of course the dealing and signing papers.

I did not realize that 3rd row in LX are power folded. In this case, I would definitely consider Land Cruiser more than LX if I need to remove the 3rd row seats as in LC they are still manually folded.. Thanks for your input.

The LX does offer a 2-row version...but only as of last year, IIRC.

I thought 2 row versions also couldn't be equipped with the LX 570 Luxury Package

That white 2015 LX was as sold so we went to check out this GX which is what we are waiting on numbers to buy. I pulled the service history from that Lexus site. Thanks for that heads up.

This had to be owned by someone older because the dealer sold them like 3 sets of tires in 50k miles.

What should I try to pay for this certified gx?

Huh? 3 sets of tires doesn't mean older driver - it either means beat on or that there is some issue with the suspension and alignment.

As far as pricing, most dealers these days don't budge much with used cars.

I meant older as in always recommending tire changes when they are starting to show wear. Happens all the time to elderly folks in the service sept. I highly doubt the vehicle was abused it was mint and drove perfectly.

Hmmmm...shows to be available in my zip.

ETA: There are 4 package options shown: Luxury Package; Heated steering wheel; 21 inch wheels; and Cool Box (my favorite).

Speaking from my experience, there was a certified GX at the Lexus dealer across the street from where I bought my GX and I saved around 3K buying from a non Lexus dealer. It was also a better looking truck. Certified Lexus = $$ and it worked out for me.
