I bought a 1996. I loved that car. Best looking interior and exterior colors they have ever had. It was the white with that cashmere button. The inside was not too light like now and not dark. Kind of a light milk chocolate which looked great with the darker leather on the doors etc. bought a lx470 2003 only because my two Goldens were getting older and jumping out the car was not good. The 2003 dropped down. Still have the 2003 has 121,000 miles. Both amazing cars. 1996 went thru tires ever 30,000 get way better on the 2003. Waited to buy a new one. I hate the front end. Do not want to own the Batmobile. Not happy with price tag, but this is the perfect SUV for me and my now three Goldens. 2003 has a small floor space. Bought a Toyota Highlander 2008 due to milage. It has tons of floor space in second seat. I can only get white. Makes a huge difference on the car temp. No idea why black interior is so popular. The lighter interior is light and does not age well. But this vehicle is great. Only problem I have had with the vehicle was dealer related. Had to take it closer to home due to surgery. Stay away from Valencia Lexus. 2000.00 later awful detail job. Let wet mats in vehicle I mean wet. Was there a few days. Picked up car put in gas really bad smell. They were so wet sitting in car smelled. Took it back few months later due to surgery. Told me I needed a front light assembly. I was leaving out of town could not wait. So only drove during day. Floor mats still in garage. Took it in. Next thing they called said needed new transmission and car would not start. I had just driven it over the night before. Told them not to move it this was strange. I get there, use their jumper car does not start. Then I notice noting at all is on. AAA gets there. He can't start it. Battery was drained. I called Glendale Lexus amazing used since first Lexus. I ask about zero signs of any transmission issues. The car not stating. I have it towed there. Valencia Lexus blew every single fuse in the car, every single one. The guy at Glendale said they had to have had the positive and negative switched jump starting and must have tried to turn it on multiple times for all the fuses to go. No transmission needed, now a year later still perfect, headlight just needed a new one.i did not need the 1400 other thing they did either. 600.00 later for all new fuses. They recharged the battery. So cars do very well. Dealer who had a eputation. But it was always the sales dept you heard about not the parts. Boy was I shocked. Other than brakes and tires not counting Valencia I have never had to do anything major on the cars.
