What did you drive before your LC 200

[TeCKis300]

Previous daily drivers - LX470 on 33s, and Lexus IS300 with complete Supra Turbo driveline swap: 2JZ-GTE, Getrag 6-speed. Coming back from a great track day here.

LX470 still in the family and is now my brothers

98' 100...

94' 80...

Before that were some fun Saab Turbos, a Galant VR-4 and (sheepishly) some Honda Minivans, for all there practicality

Hmm...

1981 Oldsmobile Omega (parent's leftover / college car) Manual transmission, manual door locks, manual crank windows, no power steering, no AC, AM radio only. Pretty odd stripped down Oldsmobile, but it was actually a really good car because there wasn't much that could go wrong with it. Was a monster in the snow too.
1986 Pontiac Sunbird Turbo (purchased used) (The turbo blew under warranty, the dealer botched the repair and had to replace the entire engine...)
1989 Honda Civic (This was a GREAT car and what I should have gone with as my first car. I liked it better than the 2000 Accord.)
1995 Mitsubishi Montero (I actually liked this quite a bit, but there was less than 0 aftermarket support for it)
1995 Land Rover Discovery (purchased used in 1997) (Had a lot of fun with this, but the quality control was the pits...)
2000 Honda Accord (Bought as the daily driver after lifting the Disco. Like the Civic, this was nice, but I thought the older Civic was better built)
2005 Nissan Pathfinder (Replaced the Disco and Accord, but was very cheaply made)
2006 Lexus LX-470 (Loved it, but traded it in when gas prices spiked and I had a long commute at the time)
2008 Toyota Highlander (No complaints)
2014 Range Rover (I was debating about this and a G550, but went with this thinking it would be easier for my elderly mom to get in and out. What a POS, but they were in super high demand at the time; I pretty much broke even trading it in after 6 months.)
2014 Mercedes G550
2016 Mercedes G550
2017 Mercedes G63
2020 Toyota Land Cruiser HE

The Mercedes G’s were all a ton of fun. I traded the first in for the engine and infotainment updates in the 2016 and traded the 2016 in because I wanted the much nicer seats that were only available in the AMG models and wanted to do so before the major redesign as I knew I wouldn’t want the first few model years (or so) of that. The MSRP went through the roof on the redesign, so my next vehicle wasn’t going to be a G. After some parts availability issues and concerns over long term service costs and reliability, I decided to get the LC. Now that the LC seems to have been cancelled in the US after 2021, I’m glad I made the move when I did as I hate the front bumper design on the current LX.

I‘m hoping to finally settle down and keep the LC for a long time, but history suggests I’m not good at that... Very happy with it so far.

 

[TheGrrrrr]

2006 Range Rover HSE

2016 BMW M4

 

[rscoleman]

2006 Honda Pilot and 1997 Toyota T100 that I still have. Got rid of Pilot for LC. Pilot had 183K miles it had started rattling a little and making some squeak noises so in 2018 got LC. Found used 2016 LC with only 14.4k miles.

 

[Dixon Santana]

2013 Subaru BRZ (Fun car, but that's about it.)
2012 Tundra (Met an early death via distracted driver.)
1987 FJ60 (Excellence is the best way to describe a 60.)
2018 Tundra (Did it's job for a year.)
2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon (Fun, terrible daily driver.)
2008 LC (Feels just right, not replacing anytime soon.)

I drove an Army Green TRD Pro 4runner. I sold it last month to get my LC 200. I do not miss the 4runner. I loved the way it looks but it is so underpowered its not even funny. Like seriously, hard to get out of its own way. To be clear, I love 4runners, its such a beast for 50k, for what you get but my right foot would ache after driving it just to keep up regular speed on the road.

BTW, the resale value on the army green trd pros 4runners is outrageous, like not believable numbers. I sold it for exactly what I paid for it. I drove it for 1 year and literally sold it for the same price.

Anyway super happy with my LC 200, its my dream ride and feel blessed and lucky to own one and be part of this forum.

 

[ElRob]

2017 Tundra
2016 Tacoma
2003 GX470
2007 Fj Cruiser

It's funny, I really miss the Tundra the most. Just so smooth, quiet, powerful, and big. Ill probably get back into one when the new models come out. And keep the 200 of course.

 

[stonepa]

1962 Land Rover Series 2
1987 Land Cruiser FJ60
1998 Land Cruiser 100
2015 Land Cruiser 200

plus a bunch of cars and other mistakes.

[jmw101]

2005 Tundra DoubleCab. Drove it to 242,000 miles - last several thousand by my son who was in high school. Still sold it for $6K, even with that many miles. Still was hard to let go. Sold it to help fund a 4Runner for son to take to college.

Current '13 LC approaching 325,000 miles. I plan to buy a '21 and drive it just as much.

 

[justinsmnz]

2003 4Runner Limited with 270k miles on it when I finally sold it. Realistically, the best replacement for me would have probably been a Prem. Trail or Limited late-model 4R, but I realized I couldn’t stomach the idea of living with a newer 4R without a V8. Instead, I had to bump myself up to the big brother (‘11 LC bought at 165k)

 

[Slow Paddler]

I likely had the oldest first vehicle on the thread
