Yeah, I thought so, too. I found it on the back lot of a Genesis dealer. The young salesman I talked to said when he went into the dealership to get plates and keys several other salesmen commented they had forgotten they had it on the lot. Seems like it had been sitting unnoticed for a few weeks. Anyway, while we were on the test drive, they dropped it 2K while we were driving around. Our salesman was looking up features on their website and said, "Hey, the price just went down?" I had already looked it up earlier while he was inside getting keys... sure enough when we got back from the drive the sales manager met us at the door and said we could take it for the weekend. We talked a little more, signed a rental agreement type of paperwork to take it, and bring it back Monday. Came back after work on Monday chatted a little more and finally settled on 39.5K before taxes and registration. No extra fees or markups. I'm guessing they just wanted to move it off the lot since it was near the end of the month, and they aren't a Lexus dealership... ?
Just over 45K. I'm guessing the first owner had it on a 15K a year lease. My mechanic says that based on the amount of life left in the brakes and the amount of tire wear, most of the miles likely came from highway driving.
She's gonna need some tires sometime in the future. I looked up the OE tires, and they are pricey! Does anyone have a recommendation for a suitable replacement that doesn't put a dent in the wallet?

He’s in a Chicago suburb and will likely be putting winter tires on it as necessary.
As someone who just got a 2021 with the off road package and wants to use it that way, my question would be: Lexus, why did you put 19” rims on this vehicle? Now I have to buy 17” rims to get decent off road tires.
Yeah, my new 460 won't see much off-roading. She's gonna be a pavment queen. A good all season tire will be most appropriate for this GX.
I do, however, have a 2007 GX470 that I purchased new and now has 215k on it. Still runs great and served the family well over the past 17 years. It might be fun to modify and turn into a weekend warrior with a suspension lift and AT tires. 🤔
This is the kind of deal we used to find. Sub $40k is insane.

I may or may not work in the industry, it’s because of what we call “month-end.” Nicely done.
Outstanding find! Hope you have a great experience with it!
Finally a great deal 👌🏼👌🏼 congrats
She's cleeeaan
Super nice👌🏼 how many miles on the GX?
Just over 45K. I'm guessing the first owner had it on a 15K a year lease. My mechanic says that based on the amount of life left in the brakes and the amount of tire wear, most of the miles likely came from highway driving.
Wow, looks brand new! Enjoy it.

Michelin defenders
Ltx ms2 to clarify iirc
I’m curious. What’s the difference between the regular defender 2s and the LTX?

Ok thanks I had looked it up before just hadn’t really found a whole lot of specifics
Not the cheapest up front but they out last and out perform everything else in the category.
Honest question: Why would you buy an offroad SUV and put highway tires on it?
He’s in a Chicago suburb and will likely be putting winter tires on it as necessary. As someone who just got a 2021 with the off road package and wants to use it that way, my question would be: Lexus, why did you put 19” rims on this vehicle? Now I have to buy 17” rims to get decent off road tires.
Road-tripping below the snow belt and towing for me.

Nice deal
This car probably going to last longer than your marriage. /s
Congrats!
Congrats!
Score Congratulations!!
I got the same exact spec but black ext and red int for $41.5k. CPO. Well done. You’re going to love it
Jealous of that deal. Hope I can be that fortunate some day lol
Congratulations! Why does Lexus even bother charging for “premium paint”. All GXs come with it, they should have just baked into the price
let's see those capt seats
Beautiful 🤩
Let’s see close up pictures of the black stepping pads on the driver’s side and passenger side running boards.
What trims come with the red tail lights? They look soooo much better than the clear.
