muz75 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hello, I am currently in the process of buying my first Lexus GX470, which is a 2008 model, and having it shipped over to Middle East. I'll probably the first proud owner of this type of vehicle as the country where I live, recently started selling GX460 but not the earlier models. My vehicle does not come with a third row seat and I was looking for the same online, came across the following links: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190423416665 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.m748&item=220648266484&viewitem=&_trkparms=clkid%3D6646823818722584363 To my understanding GX470 only comes in two interior choices - Ivory & dark grey leather. However upon asking one of the above stated dealers, he informs that the color will not match. I am shipping my vehicle next week, hence need to urgently make this decision. Please advise whether their could be a real color mismatch or anything of that sort. My vehicle VIN JTJBT20X980164722. Based on the feedback received, I'll go ahead and buy one of the seats and have them shipped over with the car itself. P.S: My apologize if I am asking a repeat question or posting in the wrong forum !! Regards Muzammil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptnPete Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 The day I bought my 2003 GX470 new, I removed the seats. They are akward to use and take up much space in the rear compartment. I tried to use them once, but when a 3 year old was complaining that they were to small for him I gave up. You might save your money by NOT buying them. One more thing: Why doesn't the seller have the extra seats? If the car was not built to have seats, it might be difficult to adapt the installation.
