nyc11370 Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 "4Runner V8 Limited" devalue more compared GX470 after 2 years. I am trying to compare both cars with realistic minimum options. I only have the 2003 wholesale prices since these models are only 2 years old. I got the estimated invoice price from Edmunds.com and then added the following dealer markup: $3,000 Lexus Dealer Markup $1,000 Toyota Dealer Markup GX470 $45,489 - 2005 Base Invoice w/ Mandatory 3rd Row + Destination + $3,000 Dealer Markup - $38,414 - Manheim Wholesale Auction Average 2003 GX470 Price = $7,075 - 2 Year Depreciation 4Runner V8 4WD Limited $37,656 - 2005 Base Invoice w/ Mandatory Option Package A w/ 6 CD + Destination + $1,000 Dealer Markup - $27,567 - Manheim Wholesale Auction Average 2003 4Runner V8 4WD Price = $10,089 - 2 Year Depreciation I don't use Kelly Blue Book or Edmunds.com for the used car values. The Manheim averages are more accurate based on real transactions. One of my friends is a Toyota sales and he confirmed the GX470 auction prices are high.

denslexusgx470 Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 GX470 $45,489 - 2005 Base Invoice w/ Mandatory 3rd Row ← is it now mandatory to get the third seat?? I heard you can still order a unit w/o the 3rd seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard you can still order a unit w/o the 3rd seat. ← You know the dealers does not like special order. (1)takes too long to get (2)the customer may change the mind and cancel the deal I checked eBay for a few months and did not see 1 GX without the 3rd row.

I'm happy with it and especially the color! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
