Default Used GX under 20k

Hello,

I need a 3rd row seating and am getting rid of my RX350. I would have gone for the RX350L but they are brand new and the pricing is out of my budget. I'm looking for a GX under $20,000.

Would it be good to buy the GX used? If so, what year and mileage should I go with?

Thank you,

Several buy the GX used, including me. I recently purchased my 2011 GX with 98k miles for just under $20k.

'Would it be good to buy....?' - That's a loaded question, a personal question for you rather....
- Are you comfortable maintaining a vehicle with near 100k mileage?

The under $20k price range will return you car search results with vehicles near 100k or higher.

My advice: Narrow your search with your wish list/must haves. This will help you settle on a GX year.

Thank you,
Regardless of its famed reliability at the end of the day you are buying a used vehicle with over 100k miles (clean title) or close to 100k (clean or maybe an issue). Easy to work on for the most part, rugged and better then any other luxury cruiser of its vintage. Not to offer unsolicited advice, but have you tried any other vehicles that you`d compare against the GX?

I have looked at the Highlander which is the closest it gets to an RX but has 3rd row. Only thing that concerns me with GX is their horrible mpg.

IMO: This site does a good job of searching out a vehicle to all of these with one query.

If you’re willing to give up some features (most notably the V8) you might be able to get a lower mileage 4Runner Limited with the third row.

Unlikely - I cross shopped T4R's and while I found plenty of examples in the $20k price range, but the mileage was about the time, much worse equipped in terms of creature comforts, the optional 3rd row on the T4R is hard to come by, and many many many of them had 3, 4, 5 owners with multiple accidents. The GX is an overall better value in my opinion.

Highlander's are pretty nice IMO and think I've seen review on YT in terms of ride comfort and interior they are better than 4Rs..
