Honda Pilot vs Lexus GX470 vs Jeep Commander
Written by: azrescue on Feb 10, 2009 8:53:53 AM
We have been looking at several suv's and cuv's. I think we have narrowed it down to the 2005-2008 Pilot, 2003-2007 GX 470 & possibly the 2007 Commander. This is what we are looking for in our vehicle: Comfort - I have back problems and am looking for comfortable seating, esp for road trips. I seem to have gotten spoiled with the seats in my Volvo S60. Towing - We will ... Read More

2007/ 2008 GX470 Xenon Headlights
Written by: superacid on Feb 16, 2008 11:34:53 AM
I have searched and found nothing regarding xenon headlights and 2007 / 2008 GX 470 models. I know the SUVs dont have the option but there are aftermarket kits. Questions- has anyone successfully converted the halogen headlights to HIDs? What kit did you use (website)? Were there any difficulties (drilling, issues with the daytime running lights...etc) that you can share? Finally, did you have to adjust the projection lamps downward? I ... Read More

Hello mikem15. I'm glad that you have found this forum so helpful. It's amazing how much of a spread there is between this truck's MSRP and its dealer invoice price. The truck that you described probably has around a $7,800 margin between these numbers. You are being quoted a $6,785 discount on it, which is pretty good but you may want to stop by the following discussion to see how much ... Read More

Question about Gx470 from Escalade
Written by: jasp2 on Jul 30, 2006 7:25:14 PM
I have driven large SUV's for almost 20 yrs. I have driven Ford, GMC, Chevy, Now the last 2 (2003,2005) were Cadillac Escalades and I have come to the conclusion that the American made trucks just don't have the finsih or the ride. With a price tag of 60 thousand what I got was a truck with a bunch of plastic and just not the finish that I had seen today ... Read More

Hello msizzle. The selling price that you were quoted for the GX 470 that you are interested in looks reasonable to me, but you still may want to stop by the following discussion to compare it to the prices that other community members have paid for similar trucks lately: george05, "Lexus GX 470: Prices Paid & Buying Experience" #, 5 Sep 2003 7:02 pm.

Delax, you are being given a $3,000 discount on a truck that has a whopping $6,000 margin between its full MSRP and dealer invoice prices. If you are in an area where there is a decent level of competition, I would not be surprised if you were able to get a little more than $3,000 off of this truck. For additional feedback on how much you should expect to pay, stop ... Read More

It sounds like the Florida litigation against Fleetrates is still on-going. Anyone know any more about it? steve_ "Lexus GX 470: Prices Paid & Buying Experience" Nov 15, 2003 3:21pm Steve, Host

2004 GX470 9200B
Written by: spirolli on Nov 9, 2003 5:41:11 AM
I picked up a Blizzard White GX last week. Wow, what a truck. I am amazed how solid and quiet this truck rides. I have a 2003 Benz E320 and the GX (in terms of ride quality and sound isolation) will give my E320 a run for the money any day of the week. I ordered the GX with the 3rd Row Seat/AC, Wind Deflector, Cargo Mat, Wheel Locks package. I ... Read More

Repeat Lexus Buyer: Price for 2003 LX 470
Written by: docrock143 on Jun 18, 2003 11:13:02 PM
Hey all. My wife has a 2001 RX 300; I just purchased a 2003 GX 470 that I thought would be mine until my wife took one look at it, and demanded that it be hers! To that end, I am looking at purchasing an LX 470. I like a bigger SUV, and the GX 470 was just a tad small for me in the driver's seat. ( The lack of ... Read More
Official 2003 photos
Written by: lenscap on Aug 22, 2002 11:20:17 AM
There are three official photos of the 2003 LX at wieck.com. Once on the home page, click on public. Then enter "Lexus" and "LX 470." You can also see some 2002 photos and compare. The new interior looks nicer, but it seems they dropped the optitron gauges for the more conventional style - just like those that will be in the GX. Although, I may be wrong as it is hard ...
