Very excited to report my new to me '08 LX570 (Silver). I gave my wife my '08 GX470 (Gold). Had notifications set up for CarGurus to tell me when a LC/LX popped up in DFW for under $30k. This one has 111,000 on it and they had it listed for $27,900. I showed up to test drive it before they even had a chance to wash it. Talked 'em down to $26,500. It's as clean as you can imagine an '08 to be. Glad to be in the 200 series club. Only disappointment is that the bluetooth is only for phone calls, not music. The aux in will have to do. And the Michelin tires on it are so new I can't justify putting something more aggressive on it yet.

I've got all-weather mats in it already. Any other necessities recommended? Don't do any rock crawling, but will be taking this to the ranch often.
 
Congrats! Post some pictures up.

I would say stick on convex mirrors are a must have. Cheap and they work great, and you won't have to twist around to see your blind spots.

Then, I also recommend getting rid of the aero flaps under the front, trimming the rear mudflaps flush with bumper (they're too low), and taking off the side steps, which are also too low.
 
Congrats!

The BT Audio thing is easily remedied. There are a number devices from various 3rd parties (some are exactly the same rebranded box), that will give you BT Audio, or USB Audio, or both.

I myself have installed a Grom TOYNU3. Works great.
