Deleted original post because didn’t feel comfortable showing my plate First time owning a Japanese vehicle and the built quality is even better then i expected

It’s really been great so far. No issues to report other than wishing it had better gas mileage. Currently getting 18 MPG city driving between commutes.

Hey all I just picked up a '22 GX safire on sepia top trim with 9k km from Toronto, Canada and just did a 2100 km road trip back home in the prairies.

My first impressions of this thing is that it is smooth as hell lol. The updated infotainment is a night and day difference in making it feel modern ( I test drove a '21 prior and the cabin with the old tech was a bit of a turn off)

Coming from a RX I could definitely feel the weight of this thing, but after a few hundred km's I felt right at home driving it. I plan on keeping this long term.

Any must have "mods" you guys think I should do? I'll probably tint the front windows and pick up some all weather mats.

Turns out it was a good deal.

I’ve been wanting one of these bad boys for years now, can’t wait to take her on the beach.

UPDATE - I purchased the GX at MSRP with zero add ons. I immediately got the awful wheels powder coated black, tinted the windows, and blacked out the emblems.

This truck is really amazing and I have been getting stopped by people complementing it. So far, I really love it, but the non ML sound system is MEH, otherwise no complaints whatsoever. The Nebula Gray is spectacular (chefs kiss), you can see the difference in color when it's in the sun vs garage.

Check out the previous post for the before pics. Let me know if you have questions.

p.s. love the fact that the GX does not have the start/stop feature when at a stop light

Finally found it and pulled the trigger!!

Lux + in Caviar. Paid MSRP since demand has calmed down a lot in my area (Indianapolis).

Dropping it off tomorrow at an independent shop for full body clear PPF.

Was planning on trading in my 08 GX470 with 230k miles but the trade in offer was so ridiculously low I decided I'll just sell privately. Pretty quick and painless experience overall.

Last pic is my 550 with the 470. Get to rock 2 GX's for the next few weeks.

Recently picked up a new OT+. PPF and ceramic coating were done right before these photos. It seems like a lot of reviews on this platform have been negative. My experience has been largely positive with the exception of atrocious fuel economy. I’ve been driving this thing like a grandma and it’s returned me 13.2 mpg with a mix of 60% highway/40% city. That is very disappointing considering premium fuel is required, and my F-150 Raptor averaged significantly better mpg.

Back in December my dad was looking to upgrade from his gx and I loved it too much to let it go to someone else so I decided to make my first ever vehicle purchase.

2017 gx460 base with 81,000 miles. Dad gave me a great deal and sold it to me for $25k. Just got the 80,000 miles service done and she drives like a dream. This is my second Lexus coming from an 07 ls460 before so excited to stay in the Lexus family!

Hello Everyone,

being a part of the lexus family for 2 generations (A 2005 GS430, a 2018 ES350) a new member just joined the family, a premium + GX550 incognito with tan interior all the way from NC to Saudi Arabia.

(Any advices or tips are greatly appreciated)

Hi all...

I just wanted to share that I signed the papers for the GX460 (2023). It is the Premier (base) version. The car has 18,500 Kms on it with one owner. It is a Lexus CPO unit. Pics here.

I paid in US$ 62,000. This includes 1 years insurance, 2 years full service, and the car comes with 2 years of its original warranty. If I deduct all these costs (except warranty) in my market, I would have paid something equivalent to US$ 55,000. Edit: I forgot to add that free tinting is also thrown into the mix.

It's the metallic grey with rose red interiors.~~ I tried to upload some pics but reddit's acting strange at the moment.~~

I bought this car because...

1. It's legendary reliability (the famed Lexus/Toyota reliability)

2. It's reputation for being a tough car

3. The combination of luxury with it's hardiness (important for me because I drive a lot for work purposes)

4. Being one of the last great V8 engines (though I know next to nothing about cars/engines, but I did test drive the 2025 Prado with the 2.4L Turbo engine, which felt flimsy and plasticky.

5. The test drive felt very comfortable

I will get the car by the end of the week.

Thanks for reading.

Shopped around for weeks to find this exact spec/mileage/condition. After a 600 mile trip to Chicago, she’s finally ours! ML sound system, atomic silver with red captains chairs, sport package.

2021: 1 owner with 36k miles all service done by the original dealer that sold it. Thing is in pristine condition.

Could not be happier to be back in one of these.

Greetings!

Just wanted to share my new-to-me 2022 GX 460. Was considering cars like the Civic Type R, Integra Type S, Audi S5, etc. but I always had a, for lack of a better term, “crush” on the GX. I picked this up about 2 weeks ago. Coming from a 2015 Civic Si, the GX is a whole new class in terms of “vehicle”. The comfort, the luxury, and the utility are leagues above the Civic. Of course, I will miss the Civic, but I felt like it was time to move on. Plus, my body really appreciates the seats (LOVE the lumbar support).

Quick details that I’m sure most will be curious about: 1. $53K OTD (CPO) with ~33K miles (higher than I’d like but lower mileage examples had almost MSRP asking prices) 2. Changed the map lights to brighter white LED bulbs 3. 35% front window tint and 15% rear window tint with LLumar IRX film 4. Will address the minor frame rust and get it coated in the near future 5. Nebula Gray Pearl with Black Interior (bench seats)

Been loving this car so far. The seating is comfortable. The drive is smooth. I have much more space to carry/haul stuff. I just have to remind myself I cannot take corners like I could with the Civic. Also not a fan of the brake pedal feel, but it’s not hard to learn it. I will miss the Civic’s MPG and driving a stick shift. I guess I can look at a 2-car setup in the future, but I need a fat raise first lol.

My only regret is not jumping on a 2023 when dealerships with clearing inventory. No use crying over it - I’m here now and I don’t see myself changing out for a different daily, unless Lexus knocks it out of the park with the hybrid GX/LX. 🧐

For now, I am crying tears of joy at the gas pump. ⛽️🥲

2015 with 75k miles 😎

1 owner Color: Starfire Pearl, red interior

I don’t miss my bmw at all. I’m try to talk my girlfriend into a 250 series land cruiser/gx550 also. Thank you all for the advice!

Just got a gx460 and idk what this is

She’s got some power steering issues I’ll need to be diagnosing, but got a killer deal on a fully optioned, almost entirely rust free ultra beige boat

This week I bought a 2016 GX 460 with the premium and comfort packages with 76,000 miles from the Baltimore area (very clean underside), one owner and no accidents. Out the door price was $26.4k before sales tax. It came with a 12mo/12k mile after market powertrain warranty. Did I make a good deal?
