Default very sad to let go

hello guys I'm very sad to say this but I might be getting rid of my gs. We now have a baby and my wife and I are looking for a safer bigger vehicle. I'm looking at getting a QX56 2005. I don't know if I will trade it in or sale it on the streets. its been a pleasure for me owning this car but it is a little old an damages will start to show sooner or later. I will probably stick by an stay as a member lol. if anyone knows any goods or bad things about the qx56 let me know.haha

sorry to see anyone leave the community. but a QX56 is damn nice too. A lil heavy on gas. But i wouldnt mind having one of those in the driveway myself. Good luck and congratulations on the child

That QX56 is nice. Pure luxury.

I've been tinkering around selling my GS (it's starting to become too common). Been looking at M45's lately.

I have a 2006 QX56 and love it. We were gonna buy the lexus GX and switched in the day we bought. Plenty of space and power. I have no complaints with the purchase. Comparing the two same years we got ours with less mileage more options cleaner in and out and lower cost. Carmax - 30day policy they have to correct/replace/repair anything that you are unhappy with. We had some wear on the steering controls, a hairline crack in the center counsel, lumbar air bag wouldnt inflate, and a plastic fender cover was loose. They replaced all that and i almost got free tires too. They'll replace them free if they are worn enough. Im 2nd owner.

If i ever buy used i'll always check their lots first.
