I’m loving my 100 series- loving the LX470 life. I’ve been kicking around getting a 200 series for tech updates like BSM, radar cruise control, etc. things to make driving easier in the burbs and in the city.
I’m looking at 2016’s because they seem to check all of the boxes and they’re the lowest priced to do it. I’m thinking I’ll spend 45k or so, my LX is probably worth 17-18k.
Do you think the 200 series is worth the price difference of 27k to be in the newer ride or should I be considering something else? The only other vehicle that I like the looks, tech, and has most of the functionality I’d be looking for is an X5. But I’m looking for some Land Cruiser leaning support here. I like the gx460 size wise but my wife doesn’t like the cabin.
There’s a part of me that feels a little unhinged thinking of spending more than a lot of brand new cars, on a soon to be 9 year old, 100k mile plus, 13 mpg vehicle.
Im not a big off roader, just want something nice, functional, well built, reliable, and in all honesty- cool… someone talk me into it.
Or should I wait for the 2024 GX550 or LC 250 to get a year old or so? Budget is ideally low 40’s but I’d stretch to 50k. TIA for any input.
