Advertise it here and on ih8mud.com. Nothing beats a focused market.

Ouch. I've got a 2019 M5 and 2 LX570s (17 and 13). Please describe the circumstances that took out your M.

this was all in 10 months of ownership and from zero-6500 miles. . I never went 1 week without needing to visit a dealer. So much for a 75k truck. Also they would give me crappy Chevy Malibu’s as loaners.

i have been a Lexus /toyo guy forever however I have always been open minded. About GM that open mindness has closed. They build a terrible initial quality product and don’t stand behind it. If you were considering a GM after the Lexus my advice would be to RUN not walk away.

Yes and with all that new tech you are asking for trouble. Escalade is beautiful and I considered waiting for it but I was just sick and tired of the Cadillac GMC service BAY.

Glad you're ok OP.

That is a SICK truck.

Can you adapt puddle lights to older models? (I don't see why not?)

I'm in the market for a used one.

Unless you can write off the lease as a business expense, you'll be bent over hard.

Leases can work in two ways...either a write off for business, or making others think you can actually afford a vehicle that you could not otherwise finance.

This is my first leased car in over 20 years.... The last few cars I purchased and they took a bath every time.... I should have leased those so I would not take such a loss, but when they offer you 0.9% financing it is hard to turn down.... I should have purchased this LX570 as it holds it’s value better than the BMWs I have... I paid over $130k for my last car and crashed it a year later and only got $90k, probably worth only $85k on trade in....

LX values are stupid, a creampuff 2006 LX470 with 300k miles will still sell for 6 or 7 grand.

Can't wait for ours.

Not only do they keep on running, but they're collectors' cars due to Toyota importing relatively few to North America. Same thing with Land Cruisers.

Yes sir! Can't wait to finally buy one, but the timing needs to be right and it needs to be the perfect one. (Used purchase.)

Perfect strategy - that's what we did. Ended up finding a certified 2018 with 10,000 miles back in May.
