My search is at an end, and I could not be more excited. You all wanted me to get a Lexus, and I obliged. I’m ecstatic to be the proud owner-to-be of this gorgeous black over tan 2001 Lexus LX470 . Being a posh Land Cruiser, the 170k miles this truck has on it mean it’s barely broken in. It’s a one owner, clean as hell truck. I’ve always adored the 100-series, and having one to call my very own is almost as exciting as getting my first car.

I think you just went from one end of the reliability spectrum to the complete opposite.

So I’m curious, you’re a college kid, right? I don’t care how you pay for your cars, because even if your parents bought them for you, you get credit for an Alfa Spider and LX470, but where do you park them at school?

there’s a gated parking lot next to my building. And I got an actual Big kid job this summer to help pay my parents back.

Going from an Audi to a full size rig takes a little bit to get used to. Worth it though.

I’m sure there will be a learning curve. At least length isn’t going to be an issue.

And yes, I’m well aware that’s what she said.

Man, too bad this didn’t happen about 2-8 months ago. I woulda been ecstatic. As it is though, seeing how I got fucked over by an LX owner who just had to have the last fucking word to stroke his ego because he looks like a fucking gorilla and you comb forward isn’t fooling anyone, Joel, you tit, I’m gonna have to hard pass on giving props. (But let’s be real it would be weird for our relationship if i did give you props [also, this is nothing to do with you; everything to do with my time working for lexus])

I wish you the best of luck, however. Congrats, you deserve nice things.

Welcome to the fabulous club of Lexus SUV ownership. Quite under appreciated if you ask me. Must say I am a little jealous of the LX.

Are you planning on taking it off road?

My GX has the same ATRAC system as you LX and at first I was a little skeptical it wouldn’t be as good as front/rear locking diffs but trust me you can put your faith in that system it is excellent.

You’ll have to do a comparison between the LX and your old A8. Tell us all which you think is more luxurious.
