I continuously have my eyes open for 100 series, and this is what I personally look for:
I'm not sure if you've had a 100 series or not yet, but they really are great vehicles. I'm on my third one (a 2007 LX 470 Limited Edition) and can't imagine driving anything else as a daily driver. They're the perfect mix of classic and modern. It would be nice to get better gas mileage, but it is what it is. Texbike Last edited by texbike; 05-09-2021 at 07:36 PM. Reason: spacing |

I see your point but my experience over a long period, and in particular in BMWs over 20 yrs, has been contrary in that I got good service at the dealer. More immediately, lots of Indy’s are in the deadpool after 2020, and the dealer is 10min away the seller and two hours from me. |

The new ones are souless |

Agreed. I'd pass on the Lexus and get a tricked out 4Runner instead.

I'm keeping my factory turbo diesel 100, not at all interested in the 200 let alone 300.

Also, LXs are great for what they can do... run to the ski resort, drive on the beach for surfcasting, tow a huge boat, and do it all in comfort with the seat coolers on and the Mark Levinson sound system. And you can't see them from the inside. |

Usually people are not cross shopping the 4Runner and LX570.
While the 4Runner is excellent (I owned one) the 200 series is the strongest LC ever made. The engineering in it is peerless. |

I like the 100 more as well!

Same here. BMW ownership is what drove me to Toyota/Lexus ownership. The continual small issues that were constantly $800 to fix along with ridiculous things like bad fuel pumps and electronic water pumps just became ridiculous. At the time, I didn't understand. However, now looking back at that period of ownership, I realize that BMW was trying to quietly tell us something - buy Japanese. Thanks, BMW! I'm sorry that it took so long for us to get the message! Texbike |

Peerless engineering? The backup camera and info system was about 10 years behind the times. The braking system was absolutely annoying and dangerous, often mistakenly thinking there was a panic situation and slamming the brakes on way to hard. I could go on. In terms of offroad capability, I doubt it is as good as its predecessors. The 200 is a very nice, luxury SUV. I probably would have bought the Range Rover if I had to do it again. |
