For what little its worth, and it ain't much, when I was in the market I was in the market for new. I have a friend that works for a Lexus dealership and I could either brand new for just about the same. I test drove both. Both had pluses and minuses. Every other car in the family is a Lexus, ie wife has an RX we bought new from my friend at the dealership, son has my old ES we bought new from the dealership and daughter has a used RX we bought used from the dealership.
He gave the LX to me for the weekend, no obligation. Very plush interior and smooth on the road. I drove it around and it was NICE, I really did like it. However, I didn't love it and it just wasn't me and point of fact it was just to nice for what I do for fun. I also did not really care for the front grill on the LX after the face lift, I don't hate it but thought I would probably tear it off accidentally.
I went to the Toyota Dealership that I have no relationship with and test drove the Land Cruiser. I just kind of spoke to me. It was as they say, stealth wealth, not flashy and no bling. Just F*cking quality you could feel. It didn't hurt that my Dad had a 62 series, that we spend years bouncing around the Texas country side chasing quail, that I help my Mom sell for $500.00 less than he paid new after 15 years, still kicking myself for that and I did offer to buy it but in her words "she couldn't allow it to be around because it made her miss him to much."
When I drive my LC for the last 2.5 years, it literally makes me smile, bad days are better because of my drive home. I enjoy the ride and handling, honestly much better than the ES and way better than my truck. I don't use or care about Android Auto or Apple Car play, not that either have that. I take my kid to Boy Scout camp outs with it, take him hunting and fishing in it and hose it off back to the office on Monday (well before all this pandemic BS). People at my office ask why everyone in my family drives a Lexus but me who drives a Toyota, "because I can."
Don't get me wrong there are trade offs. Service at the Toyota dealership after becoming used to Lexus treatment is a rude awakening. But all in all I am very satisfied with my decision. Others will differ and that's fine but that is my input.
