Looking at 2017 LX570, new.. got the dealer down to 85,500 .. amazing deal? or no?
Also looking at a 2018 Q7, wife is leaning toward the LX as am I ,but the tech in Q is so much better.

What is the MSRP on it? The LX has a better resale value and reliability than the Q albeit the technology is lacking. It is also a more comfortable ride. I like the Q7 looks but I would for long term reliability I would stick with the LX.

i would honestly stay away from this version of the LX. The next generation willl be coming out soon and should put this one to shame. its a great suv, but with all the new vehicles coming out, especially suvs in next 2 - 3 years, u may end up with buyers remorse and for 80-100 grand, it nots really chump change for 99% of the US population.
if you need a vehicle, then by all means get it. If you can wait, i would wait.
With all the new autonomous technology, electric cars advancing, and NVidia advancing AI chips this will be so out of date in just 3 years.
I want to get rid of my gx and certainly get an lx, but its not that much of change, YET.
jmho.
die hard fools here will tell you otherwise.

MSRP is $98k
I agree with you T4fun, but history is on the side of LX as far as resale goes.. thats what has me leaning toward getting it.
Our 15 X5 was 72k MSRP and its worth 38-42K.

Why wait for another 2-3 years? I should wait longer ...10 years and I betcha it will be even better. You don't even need to drive. With your voice command, it will take you to your destination while you can watch your choice of movies, sit comfortably on Lazyboy sofa and eating popcorn.

I was in ur situation a year ago. Drove the Q7 which is a fine car but it is similar to many other cars and it drives like a car. Drove the LX and it drove like an suv, but a very special SUV like a top of the range one. Very few would top it really, however once you add reliably and care about reliably and longevity then nothing really is better. Good luck with your decision.

Close to $13k off MSRP sounds like a pretty solid deal to me. I got mine for a little more of a discount than that because mine was a "Program Car." Not exactly sure what that means other than it was driven for about 500 miles at some sporting event but still sold as new. As between this and a Q7, I'm biased of course since I bought this, but I would not go with the Q. It is a nice crossover but it is not as reliable, does not have the same resale value (like others have said) and I think interior space is a good amount less in the Q versus the LX (notwithstanding the LX's fold up third row seats).

It's like everyone here said the only thing going for the LX is reliability other than that there's nothing special about it. U shouldn't be buying a vehicle just for resale value because everything will be worthless in 10 years anyway. Check out the Range Rover Sport and the Jeep trackhawk great vehicles and handle and outperform this in every way

I’ve owned a Range Rover and believe me it’s a piece of junk. It needed repair so often that I got rid of it in less than a year. Resale value? I lost almost $20k in the Range Rover during the one year ownership.
Although cars are not an investment, but you buy it to drive and not for it to be spending more time broken down in the shop.

Anyone can buy this brick, so 2ndly stop right there..
3rdly you people dont read my posts carefully. NO one said anything about reliability.
4th, what measure to do have for offroad capability? Stop posting BS. Virtually any car based suv can go offroad these days. If you climbing bolders or huge locks, even the LX cannot handle that. The little old jeep wrangler Rubicon will put it to shame.
