Trade up? (13 Viewers)

The rear hatch and back windows are different.

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!
