After doing a lot of research on GX 460/470s, 4Runners, Land Cruisers, and some others I decided to buy a GX 460. I found a local, one-owner, 2010 Premium in the dark green (mica metallic?) with the dark gray/black interior. She has 60k miles and it turns out that I actually know the guy who traded it in. It came with all service records and the work was done on time at the local Lexus dealership or by another trusted independent mechanic in the area. It has all of the options that I was looking for...and then some. I could have gone without the rear entertainment but oh well. In a perfect world I would have found one with this green exterior but with the "sepia" leather interior. I preferred that medium brown color over the light tan or the dark gray / black. Oh well...still beautiful.
My most recent vehicle was a 1999 SR5 4Runner of which I'm the second owner and just eclipsed 200k. While I love my 4Runner I wanted a more comfortable and refined DD and the 460 certainly fits the bill. I needed the versatility of the 4Runner for off the grid fishing trips throughout Colorado, southern Missouri, and Arkansas but I don't feel like i'm losing anything in that area with the GX.
My GX came with a "Q certified" warranty from the Audi dealership I purchased from so full drive train is covered for 2 years with only a $100 out of pocket for any work done. That gives some peace of mind. I'm confident that this has been very well maintained...my only real concerns are surrounding the rear adjustable air suspension.
Anyway - i'll post some pics soon and document my first fishing trip with the GX on some rugged "roads" along some beautiful spring creeks and rivers. In the meantime THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING SUCH GOOD RESOURCES AS I RESEARCHED THIS PURCHASE.
