Default Hiyoooo! New GX470 Owner Here

Hey all,

I'm happy to say that I am the new owner of a Lexus GX470.
It's a 2004 w/o Nav, 3rd row, black w/ dark grey interior.
1-owner w/ only 47,000 miles.
Looks like they never even used it.

I'm looking forward to perusing this forum for tips, tricks and other things I can do to get the most out of this baby.

Cheers,
Bazz

Thanks!
Yeah, it feels brand new.
I haven't found even one mark, scratch, dent or anything on it. Frankly, I'm pretty amazed.
I had been searching the greater Pacific NW for a little while and lucked into this one.

I'll get a few pictures loaded up in the next few days.

Awesome deal, as I thought I had a low milage rig with 55K original miles.

Congrats!

Haha I thought I was with 86k miles as I have never seen any under 140-150k.

Yes I was pretty shocked myself.
Had my eye on an 06 with 54k but the guy is stuck on $22,900 for his asking price.
It's up in Seattle and looks to be in great shape, if anyone is interested...

So, when I found this with 47k and for $5k less, I had to pounce.

Less than a week into it and my wife and I are both just in love with it. So smooth and drives great.

Yeah the body is rock solid so is the paint. Floor mats were lil bit beaten which I picked new ones for 90$ free shipping. I bought mine 07" with 86k for 17500 clean Carfax and history.

I ended up paying $17,800 for this one.
Seller was asking $18,900.

I was initially hoping to find a newer one, but thanks to all the info in this forum, I decided there weren't any changes from year-to-year that were vitally important for me. No Nav, low miles and the one-owner history made it an easy decision.
