Hey everyone. I'm about to jump in to trade in my wife's XC90 possibly for a 2022 GX. Looking at the brochure, I'm going to want a Luxury model but can't determine whether or not you can get captains chairs on the Luxury model. You would sure think, but you can't when you build it online with the U.S. website. Any of you know or have one with? Thanks much!

Just signed the paperwork. Came out to about $1300 discount after it was all said and done. Not bad, considering everyone is paying at or above sticker.
They're putting the 275/65R18's on tomorrow, and I pick it up Saturday morning, on 10/30. Six years to the day that I took delivery of the Miata.

I just can't leave well enough alone. Going to try and get the materials needed for the third row delete this weekend.
Should I just go ahead and order the Victory Blitz bumper and SSO rock sliders now, or should I at least give it a little time with the new ride?

I picked up my 2022 atomic silver exactly a week ago today. It's a big change for me coming from bmw. The car is growing on me but just one thing I found very strange is that when I change gears from neutral to drive or anything into drive it feels like a big thirst occurs and the car jerks forward. I always thought that is a bad thing on transmissions and it happens over time. But this is a brand new car and every time I'm parking or maneuvering to park I notice such a big push in changing gears. Has anyone else noticed this? Should I bring it up to my dealer as this is a brand new car or is this normal for the GX? I would appreciate your guys feedback as this is my first gx and lexus in general.

BTW do you feel a bit of shake coming from the engine while idling? Also do you get a tingliness or vibration through your steering and floorpan when the engine rpm is at a constant 1900 ram or so?

Yea I get it too. It's not the smoothest tranny ever. Wait til you experience the hunting. It took me by surprise.

My rig is just smooth, smooth, smooth all the time. It’s 10 months old and I still am happy with how quiet and cush this thing rides and drives. I have never experienced the tranny hunting that was previously described. Maybe on ultra steep grades?

no rumbling or anything from the engine, exhaust and etc? I did test a 2021 just to see and it has what I am feeling. I'm starting to think its the exhaust, maybe its freer flowing than my 2018. I do notice the 2022 is more responsive than my 2018, maybe at the cost of a bit of refinement.

Yep. I believe extends to 6 model years back (so 2015 should be included), and less than 80k on odometer. I have bought my last three Lexus as CPO with 6 years on them. That for me has been a sweet spot - where the price is lowest and the warranty is more likely to be needed to mitigate any issues that can popup in the later years of any car.

My advice ... never buy a car when you need a car because if you do, you will not be the one in control.

Hmmm... that's an interesting way to look at it. I would never buy a car if I didn't need one. If one spent his/her money on impulse, I could argue that you would not be the one in control either. Haha. I think buying a car doesn't need to be complicated. Just go in after doing all of your homework and don't let emotions get in the way, keep your head on straight.
