First post here, and its one that's been asked many times before... but I cannot help but ask again. This is to be my biggest life purchase by two orders of magnitude, to date (...besides education, ouch).
2007 LEXUS GX 470 HAKMAN AUTO SALES & SERVICE | Dealership in Dallas
I am looking at this 148k vehicle, seems pretty clean. I did a test drive the other day, and I can't find any odd noises and everything works like it should. Fairly clean, some honest interior wear but nothing major. I have yet to check out the underbelly of the beast.... the vehicle has lived in Connecticut, Vegas, and Mississippi so there is some potential for rust. All the systems, like airbag suspension, works perfect. Good service history, and was able to call some shops that worked on it and confirmed that belts and water pump were replaced at 57k and 107k. The car is fully loaded with features- I don't really care about them much but eh. The dealer is adamant that his bottom line is $12,300, OTD 13,200. That means he is charging about $200 for fees, which I am fine with as the DMV here in Dallas is impossible to schedule with right now. This price seems a little bit high, does anyone have thoughts? I'd like this vehicle as a daily and weekend fun car. Would likely do something like the OME lift + wheels/tires, after getting to know the car.
On a separate note, I have been really impressed with this forum as a resource. I've lurked since high school, lusting after a land cruiser for about 8 years or so now. Never had the funds in college, but now I am graduated and fully employed so it is time for me to get after it!!!
