It's at the Lexus dealer right now for 250point inspection. Same as they do for their CPO cars. Very nerviouse. Waiting the three hours is torture!

Found allot of things that needed work. Back at the dealer negotiating for money or to return the GX.

On the side I must say my overall GX first gen forum experiance here has not been as friendly as the RX second gen.

You have a current ride, so no need to rush out and purchase something that is just not quite right.

I actually spoke too soon. They came back and negotiated. I caved. Got half the repair costs making up for the money I actually lost on the trade in.

I love this GX. I just could not help it. I can wait on the rear shocks. Only thing I must get now is the the timing belt ASAP.

That's how it starts...............just looking.
Nice vehicle, good to know the negotiations worked out well

When my wife asks what am I doing, just looking, then she checks over our vehicles very closely

lol! But for real. Nothing at all like the RX. Jut no $$ for it. Gonna be expensive enough to maintain this GX it seems lol.

Couple of day shots.

Dark Grey leather is interesting. I would preffer I guess black or light grey like my RX. But I will live and it's better than the tan.




Not a great angle.


Not sure but I feel like I am being lied to on the Avg mpg lol.

Interesting dark gray(almost black), still looks like a great color combo! You'll be spending more time cleaning than modding.
MPG average might be accurate......not when you're stuck in Cali traffic though, I'm sure it can be done on the highway going to Vegas.
As long as you're satisfied with it, that's all that matters.
Enjoy!

Yeah it's darker gray than I knew Lexus made. Yeah the mpg sucks but not really all that much worse than my rx. My rx gets about 19mpg highway at best.
