Ok guys, fair enough. I will do some reading.. in any case I am glad I did not do it... did notice the finance manager got a bit upset about the whole thing... whatever ! cheers !!

Hello, So I have not been able to find much about the Magnashield, even in this Forum. I got my new GX470 two weeks ago and DID NOT get the Magnashield (which was offered at $1,295 and would also come with another stuff that would protect the leather/vinyl -an expensive propostition) Can someone comment on the Magnashield ? Is it a Polymer ? Is this something I can do if I just buy the right stuff ? If so, what/where to buy and how to do it ? Better to have a detailer do it and save some $$ ? Thanks !!

Hello ! Well.... it is OVER. I drove home our brand new GX 470 (NAV/ML, RSES, Cargo Mat, etc.), what a vehicle !!!. Only thing missing when I had time to really go through: the remote for the RSES... called the dealer and they will take care of it. We really had a hard time deciding between an Ash Blue Mica + Sports Package (KDSS) and a Titanium Metallic... finally the latter won (did not like the black motive in the interior of the one with the sports package). I had a great buying experience at Magnussen's Lexus of Fremont (CA). Thanks also for the feedback, this is a great forum !! Just a thought, but you may want to consider portable DVD players. In my last SUV I was forced to buy the rear entertainment because it was the only way I could get NAV. We only let the kids use it on long trips, so it got used around 6 or 7 times. Not a very good investment!. With the GX, we decided to skip the rear entertainment system and get a portable DVD player with a strap thingy that hooks onto the two front seats and suspends between them. At around $300 it was a great solution and saved a lot of money. Heck, you could buy 8 of them for the cost of your build in system! Also, they can be used outside the car. I guess if your kids are really little, and/or will watch a lot, the built in system would be easier to deal with.

Hi all, I am about to buy my GX and have the following questions (I have looked all over the Forum and have found some comments, but need some reassurance I guess..): 1. Rear Entertainment System: I want this since I have kids. Will I regret not getting this option and going with an Invision/Audiovox system later on ? - I guess I am looking for experiences... one of the local dealership told me that they have been installing the Invision system in some 03's and that it works very well (but it costs $2,400)... and one kid could be watching a video while the other plays a game, etc. 2. The best deal I have gotten so far is around $47,700 for a new 06' GX with NAV/ML/DVD - Is this a good deal (Bay Area, CA) ? 3. There is a 06' GX with 7,400 Miles at a local dealer (NAV/ML). Invoice for a new one like this one is is about $46,400. What would be a reasonable offer for this vehicle ? $41,862? - (Assuming the GX depreciated 9.78% during its first year).... Thanks !
