Default Just Picked UP LX570 INSRPIRATION SERIES

I just picked up a 2019 Lexus LX570 Inspiration series from Lexus of Pembroke Pines. I totalled my 2018 BMW M5 on July 4th weekend and wanted something big for my kids to feel safe in and this fits the bill. Hope to enjoy it for the next couple years.

Looks great!

Hopefully you can answer my question. At night, when you open the doors and the puddle lights light up "LX", it is on the front doors only or all 4 doors?

Thank you.

Nice LX, love the colour scheme. Looks like the cabin of the M5 held up very well with that accident.

Nice!

Dang the m5 is a beauty, glad you're safe.

M5 is double the speed of the LX!

Believe it or not the BMWs are fairly reliable now. I have had 3 M5s, 1 M6 and 2 7 series cars all in the last 15 years. The M5 was an amazing machine inside and out, but wanted something like the LX 570 to drive around my kids for the next couple years before I go back to an M5. I give the car credit for saving our lives in this accident. It could have been a lot worse.

I just bought a 20' yesterday. I was looking for used but the used market right now is ON FIRE. My suggestion would be to submit it for a KBB instant cash offer or submit it for appraisal at CARMAX or VROOM and with the way the used car market is you may even walk away with an equity check.I just got out of a lease on a 2019 GMC Denali for zero negative equity via a KBB instant cash offer dealer. If you visit one of them tell them the KBB offer is too low. They came up 2k on mine.

I drove company provided Suburbans for almost 10 years, 3 altogether.

I expected to replace a transmission every 100K or so.

NO comparison in reliability to a Land Cruiser or LX. They did have the advantage of a bit more room inside.

Resale bit the big one.
