I've seen quite a few clean <200k mile examples for around $15k now.Prices are ridiculous for clean 06-07s.
Anything against the 03? It has the only 5spd tranny with a dip stick!Totally biased...but 2006-07 are the best years
That being said, as I peruse sales listings for 100 series, I'm looking at anything 2004 and up. If power is an issue the Thorley headers wake up the pre-VVTI 2uz motors quite well. Or use the money saved buying pre-06 and put it towards an Elate supercharger.
Dangit I had the year wrong. I like the 5 speed and side curtain airbags. Didn't know that about the window tint and dipstick on the 03. Pretty cool.Anything against the 03? It has the only 5spd tranny with a dip stick!
It retains the amber window tint of the earlier 98-02 models with the interior update (if you could call it that?) of the 03-07
This may be completely subjective but my wife’s 05 (non vvti) feels peppier on the throttle than the 03 (also non vvti) - not sure if there is a difference
Some 03’s don’t have back up cameras
Not sure if there were any airbag differences
Do you enjoy driving one of your LC’s over the other?Dangit I had the year wrong. I like the 5 speed and side curtain airbags. Didn't know that about the window tint and dipstick on the 03. Pretty cool.
I love my 2000 LC. It’s built for off road and will take me anywhere. We put a lot of miles on it exploring the country.Do you enjoy driving one of your LC’s over the other?
I feel like those who have more than one are still drawn to one more than the other. Crazy right?

If I had to get super picky between my 2, I'd say the 2006 but that's because the AHC rides so nice.Do you enjoy driving one of your LC’s over the other?

03 - 05 should feel the same. Since weight, air intake, exhaust and drivetrain the same! Tire size will make a difference as will engine tune.Anything against the 03? It has the only 5spd tranny with a dip stick!

Like most things in life its good to step away and then re-appreciate each time you come backIf I had to get super picky between my 2, I'd say the 2006 but that's because the AHC rides so nice.
I had a new forum member stop by a few weeks ago and helped him look over his new purchase and got to drive it. Was a 2004 LX470 (AHC had been removed) but I thought it was fine for power (non VVTI). I'd be happy with anything 2003 and up. Love the older 3 knob HVAC controls but 5 speed auto makes a big difference with the amount of freeway driving I do.
The mods are fun but I do appreciate a cruiser in stock form. the lx are definitely more quiet inside too.Like most things in life its good to step away and then re-appreciate each time you come back
I’ll occasionally get the honor of refueling my wife’s LX - and while driving in her cush ride I begin to question every mod I made to my LC that slowly chipped away at the functional and comfortable ride it had when stock. I’m serious, Real remorse
So when will you unveil the 06 ?
