Hi all,

what are the differences between the 2008 and 2009 models for the lx570 ??

I'm about to buy a 2008 model, but I'm wondering if it will be worth it to wait and get my self a 2009 model.


Thanks in Advance!

 

I would get '09 model unless your dealership is deeply discounting the '08s. I try to avoid buying 1st year model. In addition, '09 LXs have privacy glass, which was oddly left off on the '08s.

 

Thank you for your advice. In our country's law, it is not possible to have a factory tented windows. But you can tent it your self. So, I was wondering if there was other differences.

I just bought a 2009 dark red lx570. with All options available from the dealer. Interesting enough there was no price difference between it and the 2008...

 

I looked over a 2009 model and could not see any real differences from my 2008. There was privacy glass

 

I'm seeing a lot more 09's with the Luxury package, the African wood and the coolbox.

 

yep, African wood is in my car it looks nice.

the coolbox is a must Specially in this hot area.

Things that i didnt get are the roof rails and the 20" wheels. The first is not available from the dealer and can be installed later (IF NEEDED). I drove an LX with a 20" wheels and didn't like the road noise. Beside I'm going to do little offroading once in a while and the 18" will performe better in sandy deserts.
