22 Years Later And Still The Best

I bought it in 2001. It was, by far, the most expensive car I’d ever bought. I was 37 years old. My kids were young. We live in Colorado. We used it for weekend ski trips, vacations in Canada, daily commutes, hockey games, camping trips, etc., I remember driving it over Berthoud Pass alone during a blizzard that shut us off from the rest of the world for several days. It didn’t flinch. I took it on my first White Rim trip and finally used the AHC for its intended purpose. It hauled our boats and my ancient Airstream up and down I-70 and far beyond. Then it became the kid’s starter car. All three kids drove it. It was wrecked a couple of times - but it kept the kids safe. It endured a couple of Rocky Mountain hail storms. The last one totaled it but we kept driving after the insurance payout. We thought we’d drive it in to the ground but it just won’t quit. It left me stranded one time. The car was fine. The ignition key wore out. Unbelievable. Now all the kids are gone, The LX was showing its age but still ran like new and never leaked a drop. I decided to restore it. New paint and new upholstery. It’s amazing. It’s beautiful. I added a rooftop tent. It’s going back on the White Rim in November. The best vehicle I’ve ever owned. We’re Toyota for life.

SUV that feels like a luxury car

The interior of this vehicle is beautiful. When you get in it, you are bathed in luxury. The engine is very quiet and the ride is nice. You are amazed how fast you are going when you look down at the gauges while on the highway. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who is looking for the ultimate luxury SUV. Lexus is second to none.

Best so Far

Have owned my 2000 LX470 (90,000 miles) for almost a month. It has been the best car I have ever owned by a long shot. The ride and handling are top notch. Not quite as fast as my Denali, but very smooth. It will climb over just about anything too, but you hate to take it off road because it's too good looking to take a chance on scratching it. My only complaints so far is the tiny plastic cover that covers the little window that displays the time and temperature is coming off. Also my moon roof may have a short in it as it takes several tries to get it closed. It also has more buttons in it than any other vehicle I have ever owned. Be prepared to read the owners manual.

This vehicle has been a joy to own. The couple of minor cosmetic defects were addressed immediately by the service department and covered under warranty. The acceleration is outstanding and the ride is wonderful.
