I'm glad I bought my GX before I knew this board existed :overhere:

4Runner is solid, 160k miles built like a Swiss watch.

Your opinion valued and appreciated.

Thanks

Screen is down and to the right controls feel like they are down and forces me to take my eyes off the road. Lovely vehicle but the NX's translation of all controls and screen to basically eye level is what I was hoping to find.

Wife and dealer rep were surprised that I didn't care for it....I was disappointed.

Don't get me wrong. If my wife had the choice she would have purchased the GX in a heartbeat. It's a beautiful vehicle.

OK, I'm officially confused now.

You were thinking of replacing your 4R with a GX for a DD? The ergonomics of the GX are worse than the 4R?

Let your wife buy the GX and you take her NX.

It's an amazing car really. The V8, the cavernous back (both 2nd and auto 3rd row seats go flat), the comfort. It came down to the ergonomics for me. I had to look down and to the side for the major controls and the screen and there in lay the rub. Here's the princess in the flesh.

I think it's a nice unit that is priced right, provided no BS fees on top.

PS: They couldn't have waited for a dry day to take pictures LOL

No there are no dry days in Washington state.:egads:

A few comments:

The dealer is trying to figure out why he's getting all these hits on this car from all over the country.

That driver's seat looks awfully worn.

BS fees seem to be $150, so not bad

I think there is only one day a year it isn't raining there - and that day it is snowing.....

That's fun. Nice vehicle surprised it was still for sale.

You would be correct.

LOL on the WA weather :D

I actually think the driver's seat is not that bad. Especially on a 2016. The one I've seen especially in lighter colors are much worse, with jean stains.

I wanted to like it.... shoulda seen the DW and Salesguy's face when I sat in it for about 5 minutes and came out and said I didn't like it.

Total stunned face.

This forum is all over the board on what a good price is.. Ive had my GX now for almost 3 full months now. I think I paid fair market for mine. Don't think I got a great deal, don't think I paid too much. one owner private party luxury trim. 2014 with 28,930 miles.... 33.7k. I don't think the one linked in this thread is worth 4100 more for being 2 yrs newer with almost 20k more miles. Id think 34-35k would be the very top Id be willing to pay for that one

Lexus of Tacoma (Fife) is a pretty good dealer, I was there Sat for another free car wash, double espresso and a pastry :rockon:

Its worth more because it has the CPO warranty and whatever they did (if any) to make it “certified”. And of course when you buy private, its certainly cheaper than buy retail from a dealership.

In my local market, the one linked here would be around $40k. Yes. Now I’d agree thats high.

I looked at at least 10 before I bought the one I did. The roughest ones I saw were the l/certified ones. All lease returns that came back from the Lexus auctions. Scratched, dinged, dirty. And all with more miles and $4-6k more. 4 grand buys a lot of repairs. These things should be damn near trouble free for 200k, maybe longer. Some people find value in peace of mind with the warranty, so to each their own
