Default New to me...


I finally pulled the trigger and purchased a 2011 lx570. I have been looking at Land Cruisers and Lxs for a long time and finally settled on the 200 series rather than a 100 series. I love it. The plan is to turn this into an off-road machine over time. Glad I found this forum
to help me with all the questions I know I will have!

congrats! Mind me asking mileage, asking price and price paid? Also, the history of the vehicle? It is exactly what I am on the hunt for, so am curious about what kind of deals people are getting. Thanks in advance and feel free to tell me if I’m being too nosy

Nice!

In Australia, the 200 Series with the gasoline engine is only a 4.6 litre V8. So if you wanted the mighty 5.7 litre V8 gas motor, the Lexus is it.
However in Australia, 95% or more choose the diesel 200 Series - it's a twin turbo 4.5 litre V8 engine, albeit with a 6-speed auto gearbox only, not the 8-speed auto as found in the newer LX570.

I do like the LX570 but at AUD$1.30 for a litre of unleaded Down Under (USD$3.68 per gallon), the operating costs makes it very hard to justify as a daily driver. Nice ride though! Enjoy!!

Congrats Dugaroo! I just picked my 2011 LX570 4 months ago myself! Very similar story, Mercury silver, Texas vehicle (Dallas), 100k mi, all dealer serviced, no accidents, super clean inside and out, single owner. Mine came with a bunch of off road bits already installed (see pics). Let me know if I can field any questions for you!
