It would be easier to get one imported. Would be easy since the lx600 is the same vehicle.

There is a thread on it here.

Frankly they are probably about the same as a sequoia except the styling and wheelbase. I mean build quality.

I will stick with the Lexus.

I guess I could always buy a 300 but only travel there about one month a year. Kinda pointless.
 
Definitely would trade up and do it soon. Prices will be moving up. There's always that possibility of toyota discontinuing the lx in north American market like lc300.

So annoying seeing these media-trained execs dodging the question multiple times. Took the reporter maybe 7 follow-ups for this guy to actually respond to the initial question. Kudos to the reporter that did not give up. Yeah. We are in for a reckoning with car prices. I agree. If you are thinking on trading, the time is now. I know that, as result, the used cars are also going up in prices, but not as much as the new ones, IMO.
 
Yeah good assessment on the new prices jumping more so. Probably also good for residual values on the special models like the 22-24 LX600s.

I think what will end up happening is the administration will drop the tariffs to equal that of the exporting country’s tariffs on the same goods imported in from the US; but only if they agree to move a % of global manufacturing to the US so waivers can be applied.

But all content foreign may be iffy as that is where they can squeeze the ballon so to speak to get their way.

Thats how I would play it and I negotiate deals all day!
 
Yeah, I paid mine off within 9 months of purchase, so it is a hard sell. And I'm looking at adding an LC500 vs a 911 to my stable, and this would put it off for another year.

The alternative would be to modify a bit (OME 2.5, 34's, roof rack) and have my own version of an overtrail, just without lockers.
The LC is a better choice than the 600 ->700 trade. Love my LC500 Sport.

Thanks. Going to drive the 700h OT in late June and make a final decision. Been enjoying my 600 quite a bit. I like the tan interior I've got, and the fact that it's a base model that was and still is so much vehicle for the money ($89,400!).

Might just stick with plan A: lift/tires, roof rack, buy an LC500 (or the "smart" thing and grab another rental property).
