*official Lx570 Thread*

[LAG JR]

Well , by now everyone must have seen the new LX570 and the twin sister the Land Cruiser.

I for one is looking forward to test drive this two behemoths. Just found out that the LC will be arriving toward the end of this month

at the base price of $63200. The LX in early 2008 , I was hoping the other way around

This site have been dormant for long while , perhaps now we can write about these SUVs.

Come on down ..............

My step-son read recently that there were some problems with the LX570 interacting with 3rd party transmitting devices like Easy-Pass/Fast-Lane as well as some other issues. Can anyone let me know what problems they are having and if they will be fixed before they go into distribution? Is there anything going to be added for the 2009 version that I should wait until then? Can an option introduced in 2009 be put in a 2008 model?

It does not look as good at the LX, IMHO, don't know exactly why

[lexuus]

Woah chill out the caps there big boy...

Haha...who are you? Gordon Ramsay?

I hate it. The rear is too ugly and the shape of the upper half at the back makes it look like a Highlander.

My salesman called yesterday: "First delivery late December, six colors to choose from, all LS 460 colors: black, white, opal, gold, silver, spinel."

I got " High Anxiety " , waiting to see up close the new LX570 and the opportunity to test drive it.

I will probably purchase one or lease one.

Now my salesman is saying "mid-January".

My Jacksonville salesman says my LX570 is coming off the vessel (JINSEI MV009) on Jan 7th. Will arrive at the dealership a couple days later. Mine is the midnight grey with the dark grey leather with the full technology package. All they have to do is install the concealed Escort radar detector and he said it will take a good part of the day as the tech has not installed one in a 570. He says I should be on the road by 1-10-2008.

It has been a long wait and am glad to see it ending soon!

Why do you need a concealed radar detector ??

Did they gave a deal , anything off MSRP ?

In any case congratulations on your purchased.

Well first is it has sensors hidden in the front and back of the vehicle, much more sensitive. The control head inside is also hidden in the console with nothing but a LED light visible in the cabin. It is a really nice radar detector and I do not care to have it stuck to the windshield or dash.

My dealer could not give me anything off the 570 if I wanted to be first but did give me way over book value on my current LX. There is also a special consideration given if I closed before the end of the year even though I will not take delivery till about the 10th. This is my 5th LX from this dealer.

Thank you explaining the radar detector. It is a great idea.

I own a 2006 LX470 with about 25000 miles that I would like to trade-in and get the LX570 , could you tell me how much the Jacksonville dealer gave you for your LX.

The Kelly Blue Book , with excellent condition give a little over $47,000.

For a fair and honest deal I would not mind traveling a bit.

Merry Christmas

My 2007 has only $11k and he is slightly over $52k. I priced LX470s when I was looking as far as Atlanta and the price did not vary much. These Lexus people stick together. <vbg> It is really hard to know exactly how you are making out as there was consideration for closing before the end of the year. Lexus is not going to deal much as these units are in high demand! This is not the time to look for a fair deal. Maybe in 6-8 months.

I hate it. The rear is too ugly and the shape of the upper half at the back makes it look like a Highlander.

I will agree with you that the rear of the LX570 is not it's best side, but I can't "hate it" as the overall vehicle is quite nice. Never found any SUV that I liked 100%. My LX470's hind end is nothing to write home about!

Would you mind revealing the name of the dealership and the salesperson ?

Thank you.

Today I went by Lexus of Melbourne inquiring about getting LX570 brochure , I was told that they have not received them,

but a fellow salesman gave me his Lexus Dealer Education Manual it contains comparison with the 2008 RR HSE and 2008 the MB GL550 very interesting reading. 65 glossy pages of information.

Classic Six-Color Exterior Palette : Starfire Pearl ; Mercury Metallic ; Twilight Gray Metallic ; Black Onyx ; Noble Spinel Mica and Golden Almond Metallic.

Two Leather Options- Cashmere or Dark Gray.

Which color did you get ?

Which color did you get ?

Twilight Gray Metallic . I had a choice between the Twilight Gray Metallic or Starfire Pearl. I went with Twilight Gray Metallic as I wanted the darker grey leather. I had a LX470 which was a blizzard white metalic and the light creamy brown leather seat picked up some blue dye from my jeans that was impossible to remove unless you used something you should not be using on the leather! <vbg> I figure the darker grey would not show the blue. My 2007 LX470 is dark grey with grey leather and I liked it.

My dealer emailed me and asked if I would mind giving up my LX470 tomm. when I closed the deal. He said he would have something to make me happy till around the 10th when the LX570 is ready. I told him yes. Hope I do not regret this! <vbg>
