Hello all, just wanted to introduce myself to the group. I have been following a few threads on here and also shopping for a GX for about 5 months with a 15k budget. Also I was trying to find one in black with less 120k with clean interior. Not an easy grab here in Seattle. I do have an inside man who in a manager at a Lexus dealership though and he came through. I just bought a 07 Nautical blue GX with 103k, 1 owner, 100% of scheduled maintenance was done including the timing belt/waterpump. The seats aren't great but not super beat either and I really like the blue. I am very curious on how many Nautical blue GX where made vs other colors? I can't find anywhere! And the best part is I snagged it for 13.7k.

I truly value these forums and some cars have better ones than others, this one seems pretty great from what I see and I'm greatfull for the resource. A few things I'm still researching are the Android Nav upgrade, how many of my color GX where made, and whether you can "cut and buff" the steering wheel. My wheel has scratches from previous owners ring I can only assume. Possibly rims down the road but no rush as dealership put new tires on.



Anyway, thanks in advance for any advise and I'm stoked to be a part of this forum and will contribute where I can.

Cheers!

Congrats and welcome. Get the NAV upgrade, it's worth every penny!! Mine is working very well. No complaints.

Talk to your guy at the dealer - they usually have a leather-repair shop (often mobile) they work with to recondition used cars they take in trade.
