  Can anyone give me some insight on a 2005 or 2006 GX 470? I am contemplating buying a used one with about 25,000 miles. Just wanted to know what kind of maintenance and problems owners have experienced. Thanks.

  Written by: aj4321 on Feb 13, 2007 1:05:41 PM

  I'm looking to purchase a 2007 GX 470 in black with with Nav, 3rd row and spoiler only. Best price so far is $47k. Anyone seeing better prices? I considered looking at used GX's but 2006 wholesale prices are around $40k - so it is better to buy new in this case. Also, considering the 2007 BMW X5 - but leaning more towards the Lexus.

  I just downsized from a 2000 Lexus 470LX down to the GX 470. Brand new 2006. It's only been a few weeks and as I love the New SUV I have to say I do see quite a difference from the LX. The LX has a much smoother ride and I liked the feeling of sitting up higher.

  I'm in the same boat... this seems like a great time to get a good deal on a 2005, but then it starts off with a year of depreciation soon after you drive it home. Still I think 2005 is the way to go unless you are planning to lease, in which case you're probably better off with a 2006 since it will have a higher residual and your payments probably ...
