I in no way have any connection with this site or the car being sold, but I saw this and couldn’t believe it! 2006 LX 470 with only 18k miles

Very easily could be the most pristine version of this truck left on the roads! If anyone has ever wanted to go back in time and buy one brand new, here’s your chance!

I think this was the best Lexus interior ever assembled. So much attention to little details.

 

Man what a fabulous example...

Very well done but not to the level of the LS400 or LS430. Outright material quality was a little better there.

 

If I had enough disposable income this is what I would get. The LX470 was my favorite car to drive. It’s interior is awesome but I agree with Steve that the LS is a little bit better. Very high quality for sure.

 

Amazingly nice gx... as listing explains it was kept in a colorado garage by someone who only visited now and then, hence the low mileage.

$37K current bid is ludicrous though.

 

LS400 was the best IMO.

 

Depends on how the LS430 was equipped. if it was a UL then it was better than the 400, ULs had the suede headliner, the leather lower doors and lower dash, none of which you could get on the 400.

 

Id pay that if I was looking for one. Had two and they never ever gave me a lick of issue other than they rusted out due to Canadian winters. Cant buy anything nearly as good for 40k

 

Agreed, if you have 40K to spend on an SUV what is better? Nothing.

 

I sat in a new LS430 that was optioned out with the massaging rear seats and wasn’t too impressed with how it felt compared to my then ten year old LS400. I never owned an LS430 so I guess I’m not qualified to comment on them.

 

Price is absurd, as in this generation Land Cruiser is one you drive the wheels off. Stupid to pay way more than double what one goes for with even lowish under 100k miles. Although I do love the styling, inside and out of the LX470, it has that special bit of "Rover" magic that makes it feel much more special.

 

lol doug's site... this is an absolutely beautiful example, i hope to one day get my hands on a 2006-2007 land cruiser

 

Having had both, both are very high quality but a well optioned 430 edges the LS400 out in material quality simply because more exotic materials were used.

 

Its an auction, the price is not absurd if people are willing to pay it, its the definition of market value. These cars are headed to a place where they're going to be somewhat collectible.

That vehicle isnt going to be a driver

 

you're biased though ! i agree with you (and i'm also biased).
