I have some experience here. I own a 2001 LX470 and a 2006 GX470.


The LX470 is the greatest SUV ever produced. Currently at 235k miles. Recently we’ve had to put some money into it as one of my daughters drives it, but I bought it 2006 and have loved this vehicle. Other than not having an aux input on the stereo (the lexus folks love their tape players) I have not complaints. I hope to get about another 100k miles out of this car.

We bought the GX470 last year. About 110k miles. It is a car for one of our other daughters. It rides like a champ. We did have two maintenance issues with it. First was the sunroof stuck open. This apparently was a common issue and a warranty item for the car. However I was out of warranty so I had to take apart the whole roof liner (major pain in the @ss) and permanently close the sunroof. We also had several other maintianence issues crop up at the same time including shocks, timing belt, etc. I am hopeful this keeps the car in good shape for a long time to come. It rides great and I am targeting getting this thing to about 150k more in miles. My Lexus repair guy says it should get 400k miles if taken care of.
