Just got back from picking up my wife’s new DD in Tucson and making the drive back to Montana. This thing is so nice and makes me want to give her my 100 and take her GX470. Anyways, I wanted to quick show her off...04, non-nav, 150K miles, rust free, strictly Lexus serviced with 48 records. This thing was babied and it showed during my 1100 mile test drive back home!

Nice find... welcome to the group!

Looks very nice and clean on the picture. I suppose no build up anytime soon.

Nothing besides tires for now. Once it becomes less of a kid hauler and I get the 100 built up, I’ll focus my attention on the new rig.

Welcome to the MUD community

Thanks! I’ve actually been on here for a few years but just over in the 100 section. I remember looking at GX’s about 5 or 6 years ago and there was a lot of skeptical opinions on the 100 series forum regarding the quality of a GX compared to a Hundy. I’ve got to say they seem to be equal in quality and capability, but just dressed up and in a slightly smaller package! Got to say the wife and I are very happy.

Arizona is a good place to buy. So far I've purchased 2 used cars here. Was looking at multiple GXs here last year, some saw a little too much sun and had the door rubber gasket baked and would let water in, so make sure to look for that, but yours looks too clean for that. Probably garage kept always - thats the good thing about buying these used.

Willing to share what you paid for it? I'm looking at doing the same thing you did to get a driver for my wife and two teens so they stop driving my 100. Prices seem to be all over the place so I'm starting to try to figure out what is fair pricing where both parties get a fair deal instead of paying $12,000 for a 2003 with a zillion miles and lots of broken/worn out stuff.

I ended up paying 10,500 which was less than the asking price but more than my first offer. We met in the middle and I felt like I got a deal and I believe he felt like he got a fair price. Truthfully, once I saw how well this thing was cared for (garage kept, rust free, perfect dash, no dings or dents, clean, etc) and how much recent work had been done on it, I would’ve paid more and been okay with it. Can’t say enough about how well put together this thing feels.

I just got an 04, 170k miles, same color as yours, but it has Nav, I wish it didn't, oh well. Wish it has a spoiler too, not sure why not? Love it so far, can't believe how flat it corners at freeway speeds?!!

I ran into the same ordeal, 200K for $10k was the norm for my search. Don't get too frustrated, be patient and you will find what you want at a fair price. I had all but given up on finding a GX, had even begun looking at 4th gen T4Rs. I had just came home from looking at an awful '05 T4R Limited and decided to check for a GX just once more and found an '05 Sport with 178k miles for a $9500 asking price.

I ended up with a one owner, non-smoker, blue meridian pearl, non-nav, 3rd row, spoiler, sport package (with tan interior, didn't know they existed) in my driveway for $9800.

They ARE out there, just gotta dig.

I gave up and got a '05 4Runner with 195K for $6500. It was very well maintained per the service records. But now I can't get it to pass emissions due to a P0430 code which means I can't get it registered. GRRRRRR!
