$3,500 drive of, $732 a month. Does this sound like a good deal?
Also, do the new one have the clunk? Why dont we see it mention in consumer reports or any of the other car mags?
Thanks.

Ritzinger...if have an 06 GX470 with Sport Package and I have the clunk with about 4000 miles on vehicle. I personally think you are getting a pretty good deal at $732 a month, especially since it is fully loaded. Mine is fully loaded in addition to sport package and I pay $800 for 15K miles 3 yr lease.

Service tech feedback....
well spoke to service tech at dealership (not the frontline dummies with standard replies but someone working in the shop ) - he indicated they have changed 4 to 5 GXs with the new TSB - one customer had returned noting he had noticed the clunk again - so perhaps not a 100% fix but better than the past...he noted this is the 2nd or 3rd TSB on the clunk by Lexus and there were issues in other Lexus/Toyota as well...
Recommended waiting a couple of months but he said the clunk does no damage to the car - more of a subtle nusiance.....well i have a '06 GX with a few thousand miles so warranty not running out anytime soon....

I had the TSB done in addition to routine maintenance. I do not notice the clunk anymore. Aside from that, I cannot say that anything else seems different. Perhaps the transmission feels a little more like it did when I got it, but I think that is just in my mind. I am glad I had the fix done.
I would recommend it to anyone who is still waiting, I too was waiting but decided to be brave and do it. Why wait with the clunk any further.
Since the Clunk was really the only problem GX owners complained of, I guess if this is solved, the GX is basically a perfect car

Props to Lexus for figuring out a fix to the clunk
