Hello GXOR/IH8MUD!
I guess I should start a build journal here for my 2007 GX to document all the work I do to it.
I purchased this fine example on June 14, 2024 from a gentleman in Highland, CA for $13.8k after months of searching for the right one in the tough SoCal market. It has had 1 owner (2 in records but it was a familial transfer), dealer serviced, no rust, decent paint for SoCal (some clearcoat fading on the painted exterior pieces like the fender flares), and 151k miles.
Usage: Daily driving it up here in the AV where I work. Range trip vehicle (involves some light offroading). Road trips as our other cars (my 2003 M3 and her '15 CT200h) are smaller and don't have the room to stretch out and be comfortable compared to the GX. Maybe some light overlanding if I ever go that far.
