Is it worth buying 2013 Lx570 instead of 2009 - 2011 model year

Model Year Differences, LC200 + LX570

For those in the market for a used LC200/LX570 (like myself), I figured I'd post the research I've done on model year differences. I'd appreciate the community's help correcting mistakes and filling in missing info. All data is for US-spec vehicles. This is the only other model year...

1. LX - 91 octane / LC 87 octane
2. LX - AVS / LC - KDSS

Are my main concerns picking 200 series

Dont let the front facing camera be the thing you want. It sucks imo. The way it warps everything...its honestly unusable. Would like to replace it with something higher quality if possible...

Agreed. Mine got removed for a an in-grille light bar install and I don’t miss it one bit.

The front camera certainly has benefits in my use, particularly when parking in the garage. With just about 4-5" to the wall in front and 4-5" to the closing garage door, it helps me ensure that I won't hit anything. It's not the highest resolution, but IMO a lot better than nothing. In fact, I rely on it everytime I park. Without it, I would have certainly hit something the first time parking the SUV or had garage door close on it.

My go-to for tight garages is a hanging tennis ball just contacting the windshield. I can see the camera being useful, but in my case the light bar being in there and helping me spot deer in northern NM is far more useful.

But yeah it comes down to how the owner of the vehicle may use it.
