I’ve been having some oddly intermittent and persistent electrical issues with my 2006 LX470. I bought it in 2018 and it has 180k miles. I am really hoping someone here will be able to help. Here’s a chronology of the problem: -About 2 years ago I first noticed that when in drive, the...

Don't think I've gotten that far but I think there are a number of ways to do it. I've read about some people just going straight into the amp and using the phone's volume controls but that seemed too sketch for me; not sure why so that's probably an irrational response. By "match it to the...

So one similar option I'm considering for my 2006 LX470 is to bypass the factory radio entirely and use the JL Audio CL-RLC to connect an aux cable straight to my aftermarket amp. It has a separate volume knob which I'd have to mount somewhere but that's the only major downside in my view...

Interested. Check your PMs

I'm interested in an aluminum bumper for an LX when it is available.

For LX470 too?

Yeah, I had already assumed that the Lexus dealership had inflated or exaggerated some of the repairs. But it's good to hear there might be other options for addressing these issues. The GM of the dealership played dumb when I brought the problems up and then said he would probably be better off...

Thanks for your response. The numbers definitely sounded high. Was planning to baseline anyway, though their $700 quote only includes three of those so obviously would go a different route. That's good advice about using the MSRP and $2k is what I think would be fair. I got the carfax but it...

Hi everyone. I am looking at a 2006 LX470 with 122k in Colorado and had the seller take it to the local Lexus dealership for a pre-purchase inspection. I live in California so I want to be really sure before I fly out there, but from what I can tell this is a pretty good vehicle at a good price...

I went to test drive this vehicle this weekend and I have to say it is awesome. I decided that the added luxury and power of a 2006/2007 100 series is worth the extra money so I am passing for that reason only. This is a great option for someone who wants to save on a bunch of mods that were...

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback.

Hello friends! I am looking at this 2006 LX470 from a few states away. Looks like a good truck but I would love some help assessing the condition of the underside. The salesman was kind enough to make this video for me: Let me know what you guys think. I am so grateful for all of the wisdom on...

Anyone want to go check it out and report back? I'm really interested but live in California.

Can you post some underside pics?

Thanks. I may take you up on that. Have seen a few good ones in Austin.
