    $2,500?!?!?!? How, where, WHAT? That's an insane price with 150K on it. I'm lucky to find a 200K+ mileage for 5-6K.

      You’ll be surprised my father just purchased a ‘02 Lincoln Blackwood (87K) (private sale) pickup truck in mechanically great condition but the outside and inside of the car was a disaster dude had a hoard of dogs he paid like 5k for it and paid a professional detailer like 500 bucks to clean it up! He attempted to clean it himself but vomited a few times 😂 It’s extremely rare, my father works in the plaster industry and is alway in wealthy areas doing work and it seems that’s were you can sometimes find good deals!

    I couldn’t help noticing that the armrests were near perfect on the bottom but ruined on the top. Have you ever looked into swapping them from driver to passenger side which would essentially also “flip” them so the good side would be facing up?

    • @RandomStoryTime02
      @RandomStoryTime02 Рік тому +2

      @PeakVibe TV howdy. Gas mileage is bad, but you don't go to big V8 SUVs for good gas mileage. Like any vehicle there are things you have to eventually fix, but I got it specifically for the 2UZFE engine. I would like to eventually get a smaller daily driver for gas mileage sake but will keep my GX forever. When a regional manager at Lexus tells you that they regret every day of their life without their GX470, then that's a sign. Good luck with your search. I have a few tips on buying if you ever need help. GX470 people are family and take care of each other.
