Hi Steve,
I have been trying to find a Lexus GX470 for several months now. Either a 2012 or a 2013.
What I have found is that these vehicles simply don’t exist here in Tennessee.
I have gone through every Lexus dealer in the state, along with a few others that are out of state. I can’t find a GX anywhere.
So I thought that maybe I should try to look at a Toyota Sequoia, or maybe even a Toyota Tundra instead. I have found a few of these vehicles at the dealerships, but the prices are stupid high, and I just can’t justify paying what they want me to pay.
I am a cash customer, and I don’t think I’m too picky when it comes to cars. What I wanted to ask you is whether you can actually find a good deal on a late model GX at the auctions.
Steve Says:
No.

Remember when earlier this month, Tesla CEO Elon Musk released all of the patents related to his company’s offerings in the hope that all of the major players would eagerly buy into his vision thing of widespread EV production?
It hasn’t turned out as well as Musk had hoped.
