Has anyone purchased from https://www.mmsportinc.com/ Miramar motorsports and if yes, how was the experience? I see quite a few GX 470 and couple of have unbelievably low mileage for 2006/2007 year. VIN # is not provided on all the inventory items.

 

Miramar is reputable and they do a good job with refurbishing and flipping quality GX's. Expect to pay a premium for their services and don't expect much $$$ off the advertised price. There's also another dealer that competes with Miramar with a similar business model, which is located near Miramar. Can't recall the name offhand.

 

Would like to find a 2020 Luxury in Fire Agate. I know some dealers still have 2020 inventory.

 

IMO: That is now going to be an almost impossible attempt to find new. Seems like less than 30 new 2020s left as I look around and none in Fire Agate Pearl in any trim. It's always been a relatively rare color since 2012 and I think I only ever saw a couple 2020 Luxury trim in Fire Agate Pearl. They were usually Premium trim. Further rarity will be one with off road package....

EDIT: I will keep an eye out for you though.

 

Thank you, Acrad.

 

Hi all,

I'm looking to purchase a GX 460 w/ Sport Package (so 2017 - present) in Atlanta for ~$30-40K. Within this price range, I am finding postings for GX's ranging from 25-30k miles (low $40k's) to 70-100k miles ($30k or less). I'm having trouble even considering a high-mileage car at this price point, but considering the life span on these things is the $10k+ savings worth it? For context, I only drive about 10k miles per year, but I do plan to keep this thing long term.

Is there a sweet spot (price vs. mileage) somewhere in between that I should be aiming for? What am I missing?! Appreciate any advice!

P.S. I am pretty set on a Gray GX w/ sport package with black interior and heavily leaning towards the premium package. Also, I am in no rush to buy but I would like to purchase something by spring/summertime for road trip season.

 

I was in the same boat as you are and ended up getting a 2019 GX460 base model with 28,000 miles on it for about $40K. If I could do it again, I would have gone for an older premium model with more miles (50K-60K) for the same price. If they're taken care of properly, the life span is almost unquestionably 200K miles +. The difference between the base model and the premium model is substantial when it comes to interior comfort and mechanical capabilities/features. But, I have what I have and I am still happy with the car. You really can't go wrong with a GX provided it has been taken care of properly. Good luck!

 

Seriously considering paying $47k (plus tax and tag - no other fees) for a loaded 2018 GX460 Luxury w/ Sport, Driver Support, and Tow Packages at a Lexus dealership in Florida. 26k miles and about 12 months of factory warranty remaining. The interior is like new.

Good deal? Dealer is acting like they won't budge on price, but I haven't explicitly tried negotiating down yet. I haven't seen as many deals on Luxury models, so I can't tell what is a fair price here. I know for a couple of grand more I could get 2020+ GX Premium with a lot of the same safety features (but no sport package, Mark Levinson, or luxe features including crawl and air suspension).

 

Maybe grab a CD or two and your phone and test drive both the '18 lux and the 2020 and see if the ML sound quality matters to you vs the standard audio - there are mixed takes here. Also, not sure how lux the crawl or back air suspension is. Pretty sure the air suspension is mostly for towing/leveling. The '18 will have semi-aniline leather seats unlike the 20 which will be Nulux. Try them both out. Good luck

 

Long time 4Runner driver, upgrading to the GX460
now. $35k is the max I typically allow myself to spend on a car. I want nebula grey. My two options appear to be a 2017 base gx460 with 36k miles or a 2018 gx460 with premium package and captains chairs, which I like, but with 45k miles. Same price. I believe I will go with the premium and 9k more miles but would welcome any opinion! Thanks

 

If you like the captains chairs, then the 2018 with premium package seems to be the logical choice to me. The 9k mileage difference is negligible. Of course I'm assuming both have similar good maintenance record and no accident history.

 

Definitely go with 2018 premier. 9k mileage is nothing consider average useful life and mileages people putting on GX. You get lot more with premier.

 

Thanks, this is what I needed to hear. Fully intend to drive it to 250k like both 4runners.

 

Test drive both, then buy the '18 premium
(crazy the average price of a new car is now over $40k - I imagine the median must be a bit less, but still that is a staggering amount for average price paid. Source: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/a...ar-price-2020/).
