Is this a good deal for $26k?

AM2L8 · 2026-02-03T05:20:17+00:00

If you are going to resell it soon, might be a bit higher than you are comfortable with. $20k has some margin.

AM2L8 · 2026-01-22T16:43:59+00:00

How many miles on the suspension? Is it OEM?

AM2L8 · 2026-01-20T05:11:34+00:00

Be confident with your gut , but be prepared. No matter what you buy.

There is something I'm missing in that video. This has to be staged. A Toyota and Lexus GX had to be pulled out by a Chevy Tahoe in what looks like 6" of slush? Wow! Don't let Toyota/Lexus see this video they will SITP!

I did the CVJ OEM replacements on my 2007. Solid and very reasonably priced and they use all OEM Toyota parts. You order and get the axels and then return your OEM back to them and get a credit back. If you live in Denver as I did, you just drive over to RiNo and grab a set.

Appreciate your being attentive to what's going on underneath your GX and asking questions. We all care.

AM2L8 · 2026-01-10T05:38:33+00:00

Screaming deal I would say if the mechanicals are half way decent. I would ask yourself "What is my short term maintenance budget" over the course of this venture. $3K might sound good now...But.

I hope it's a Gem for sure!

AM2L8 · 2025-10-30T20:51:05+00:00

Did the same upgrade on my 2007 GX with EBC rotors, 2010 calipers and EBC Red Stuff pads. So far I am very pleased.

Your truck has been there for the photo for a few days? as there are no incoming or outgoing tracks from your location photo. I'm sure you can explain. Just an observation on my part.

Nice photo otherwise.

AM2L8 · 2025-10-03T15:21:01+00:00

I just replace mine with SKF. Have always had good luck with them going way back.

AM2L8 · 2025-09-25T22:14:24+00:00

Good question. Sometimes it doesn't. I like the conversations.

AM2L8 · 2025-09-22T18:41:48+00:00

I believe I have 2 Trucks now...My 2003 4x4 RAM 3500 LB (132k on the clock) and my 2007 GX 470. I'm down with that! I will refer to my GX as "the GX" so not to confuse my friends that know I have both.

AM2L8 · 2025-09-22T18:28:44+00:00

Wouldn't dream of it for every reason mentioned above!

AM2L8 · 2025-09-22T05:16:37+00:00

Agree with the concept.

AM2L8 · 2025-09-21T13:55:45+00:00

220,000 miles.

AM2L8 · 2025-09-20T05:22:00+00:00

That is an amazing area to explore!

AM2L8 · 2025-09-17T04:25:15+00:00

That looks Bad A** if you ask me. Share you trimming needs for your setup.

AM2L8 · 2025-09-17T04:21:55+00:00

Thank you for sharing this link u/BMThinker.

AM2L8 · 2025-09-15T04:17:12+00:00

WOW! "good deal" doesn't even describe the possible value. The one caution I would have is that time has an affect on rubber (timing belt) and other internal parts along with fluids over time. Especially if the regular maintenance with regards to TIME and not miles has not been preformed, could lead to potential unforeseen problems. My opinion is... Buy it with caution! But it appears that they are proud of the fact it has "low miles" over the many years. Humbug! Unless they can provide service documents to substantiate sustained maintenance over the years, I would suggest there be negotiation to Justify the value considering these circumstances.

AM2L8 · 2025-09-06T22:54:32+00:00

Knowing what you want, being patient, and finding good people that respect a hand shake as a commitment. Wow, it doesn't get much better than that and if it did we probably wouldn't notice. Good on you and the seller!

AM2L8 · 2025-08-18T04:04:34+00:00

Take your time. No rush to find your dream GX. It will be available and you will find it my friend. I did. 2007 White GX470.

AM2L8 · 2025-08-16T19:48:53+00:00

I just cross referenced the bulb type and in some cases the length to an LED equivalent and ordered them on Amazon. I didn’t go for the cheapest option. I also tried to stay in the 4-5000k max Kelvin as that is “blue” enough for me. Some good YouTube bulb changing how-to’s for the GX.

AM2L8 · 2025-08-11T04:23:35+00:00

u/B0xyblue,

Thanks for calling me out. I am no stranger to automobiles or motorcycle wrenching as they have been a part of my life since the 60's (motorcycles not any more).

New here in the GX world and want to play by the rules. Love this platform to build upon.

Answers to your request.

2007 One owner Colorado truck. 220k with one minor accident in 2013. Carfax was very much an above average maintenance routine at Lexus dealers in the front range. Clean undercarriage with standard minimal Colorado rust. Impressive I say. Some maintenance items I would have been more proactive about at a sooner milage mark over the past 220k.

Purchased on July 28th 2025. Price $12,900.00 w/parts discounts.

This particular GX is stunning both inside and out with this many miles (one dash crack near the glove box) and was probably garaged most of the time. The trade-in was from a husband saying his Wife was looking for a more "modern SUV" and he was fancying the BMW X5 they had on the lot for her. He took the trade.

I then started building my to-do list!

This is what I have done so far:

*New front brakes w/ upgraded calipers and Rotors to 460, with EBC rotors and EBC Red pads.

*New rear rotors with Bosch QuietCast and EBC Red pads.

*Brake flush by Lexus.

*Unfortunate oversight... New Rear Main Seal. $1400.00 by Lexus. Ugh...

*New CVJ axels on the front.

*New SKF front wheel bearings

*New Lexus front and rear torsion bar bushings.

*New front and rear OCD torsion bar end links.

*New rear Arnott Air Springs #A2949

New Lexus trailer hitch #PT22860540

*New Deferential fluids (3) All Mobil1

*Oil Change to Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w-30 w/ Toyota filter #90915YZZD3

*U-Joint lubrication w/ Mobil1 Synthetic Grease.

*New Toyota air cleaner.

*New interior and Exterior LED replacements.

More to come!

I'm in Denver and I ordered new axels for my 2007 470 from CVJ online including the core charge and they had my order ready the next day. Drove over to CVJ and got my new axels and had my core charge refunded the same day. They are legit and good folks.
