Gotcha, I figured it was a factory thing.

What I mean is, does the gold trim package always include kdds? I ended up running the vin and it's showing kdds which I don't want. There's an 07 in Houston with 60k and kdds if anyone's interested.

All, I've found the truck to buy but concerned about kdds and gold package. Does the gold trim/emblems automatically mean kdds? Thanks

Sounds good!

Ha, I figured! Never been to place in Bridgeport, but I've seen pics when my buddy brought his Polaris Ranger up there. I tend to stick to the Trinity River floodplains on the street legal enduro bike. Time to aggressively get shopping for a GX, don't have the time to head out of state for a...

Great idea, thanks.

The only way I would have considered it is if I could find someone independent willing to do an inspection and if everything is legit, then I would fly up and close the deal. Glad to see people have had success with purchasing a truck outside of their city. Thanks, I'll look into these. I'm...

Not set on the vehicle, but it's the color I like along with one owner and service history. Seems like a pain in the ass to buy one out of state without a trusted inspection. The dealer just wants to move the vehicle and may not be as objective. Who knows, maybe a local deal will pop up in a few...

That's my major consideration. Just emailed the dealer to send me pictures of the undercarriage, but not sure I could trust a them. The truck has been in Tulsa according to Carfax. Check out this 2008 Lexus GX 470 on Autotrader

Hey ya'll, I've been following the forum for the past year and finally found the GX I would like to purchase. 1) it's a 2008 and too far away for me to personally check it out (Kansas City) 2) Accordong to Carfax, the service history is great and 90k service has been done. A. I know the...

I've read that KDDS is nice to have but its just something else that could break and cost money to fix. Trying to keep everything rather simple. As far as the rear bags are concerned, I want to replace them with springs no matter what. I'm planning to do a 3" lift so the rear bags are going to...

I'm in no hurry to purchase a GX470, it will happen but I'm on the fence about this one. Carfax shows the last owner having the vehicle for only two months. Something just seems fishy...

You make some good points and still up in the air on this one. I've been on autotrader the past hour and haven't seen any other trucks with this mileage and asking price. I want to make sure everything is correct and don't really have a time frame for this purchase. It has been a Florida...

Well carfax shows it was involved in a a front end collision and had to be towed at around 35k miles, plus it was a lease car new and had two total owners. I didn't realize the door handles went to crome in 2008, I'd like them color matched since I plan on blacking out all crome. I'm going to...

Thanks for the info and link, I had stumbled across it before and that's how I narrowed down the year to 2007. I want the updated engine from 2005 but also prefer bluetooth. I also had no idea that the HVAC controls were on the nav system. I had read about people wanting non-nav but didn't know...
