Bill, Looks like we will see you later on this Sat. to finalize the paper work and pick up the 2000 LX 470. So far....you make it buying an LX 470 online PAINLESS......I look forward to have the same PAINLESS process when we show up at your dealership Sat. to complete the process. See ya, netmiami p.s. By the way Bill had the LOWEST price of all and the FASTEST RESPONSE (just in time for my wife's birthday present)......even the other internet buying services and ALL OTHER LEXUS dealers in FL and elsewhere.

Thanks to all of you for providing some great information! Until seeing pictures of the Sequoia, we had decided on the LX470 over the Landcruiser for its ride and more refined feel. With the Sequoia, it would appear that Toyota is creating a real product positioning and relative value dilemma. Upon seeing pictures and specs of Toyota’s new Sequoia, I was wondering if others who might be considering the LX470/LC are having similar thoughts: Specs of Sequoia vs. LX470/LC: * Length: 203.9 vs. 192.5 (Sequoia by 11.4 – The LX/LC really could use a few more inches of middle/rear seat room) * Width: 78.0 vs. 76.4 (Sequoia by 1.6) Height: 74.0 vs. 72.8 (Sequoia by 1.2) * Wheelbase: 118.1 vs. 112.2 (Sequoia by 5.9) Ground Clearance: 11.0 vs. 9.8 (Sequoia by 1.2) * Horsepower: 240 vs. 230 (Sequoia by 10 with identical engines) * Torque: 315# vs. 320# (LX470 by 5#) * Appearance: I give this to the LX470 but is it enough to justify such the huge price difference? There are several sites on Edmunds, which have Sequoia pictures/specs. * Price: Approx. $35K vs $60K (Sequoia by $25K!) * Ride: No doubt the LX470 will be smoother and quieter but is it worth $25,000? I can buy a lot of after market sound deadenng material for this much money! * Safety: Sequoia will have side airbags and 2000 LX/LC does not. 2001's should correct this oversight. * Availability: November or December for the Sequoia at MSRP vs. now for the LX470 (as a 2000 with some discounts or in a couple months as a 2001 with side airbags, GPS and who knows what else - to differentiate it from it’s less expensive cousins). * First year problems: Sequoia could experience these as it is built in USA. LX470 is built in Japan and has the bugs worked out. * Dealer network, service and customer care: Advantage Lexus here, no question. Thoughts of those who own or are also considering a LX470/LC purchase or are on a Sequoia "wait list" would be very much appreciated!

I too am debating the same question. Is the LX really worth the additional twenty to twenty five thousand dollar difference. I especially like the fact that the Sequoia will be a little larger. I use to own a Expedition Eddie Bauer and liked the larger size. I personally think that the question for me will be iss the legendary Lexus service worth the premium price. I have never purchased a Lexus, but my friends who have love the service. Most of them have been repeat buyers. I test drove a Tundra several months ago when I was in the market for a full size pickup. The truck drove very well. I'm sure that the Sequioa will drive and ride very well.

I guess it depends on what you are comfortable with and need (want????).

Take a note on this, the Sequoia is going to be 2WD this price (35k) A good reliable source says that 4X4 is not going to be available right away. And the price is going to be different. Remember that the Sequoia is nothing more than a Glorified TUNDRA. I hope this helps vbentley and edwardt1. Sincerely, MG
#37 of 1460 What to do? by edwardt1 Jul 25, 2000 (6:57 pm)
I know what I most likely will do and that is purchase a 2001 LX 470. My wife will probably settle for nothing less. She currently drives a 98 Eddie Bauer Explorer. It does not even begin to compare to the 470. She loved the 470 with the exception of the price. It is quite expensive when compared to the competition but in truth there is very little comparison with the exception of the Land Cruiser and the Range Rover. I have not considered the Range Rover because of it's lack of reliability. As for the Land Cruiser I will gladly pay the difference to get the Lexus service. That is the same reason I probably want purchase the Sequoia. Edward

#39 of 1460 Addendum - What's a person to do? by vbentley Jul 30, 2000 (1:19 am)
Just committed to the 2000 LX470! Pick it up on Monday the 31st of July. Can't wait!! Everyone's comments in the LX/LC/Sequoia topics really helped me decide. There were a lot of points brought up that I had not considered. Yes, the LX is a little more $$ than the LC but you also get that active suspension, lots of quiet/luxury and that great TLC, both inside the vehicle and at the dealer. Comparing the LC to the LX is the same as comparing the Exped to the Nav. The gap is less dramatic but still there and large, none the less. I won't disparage the LC or Sequoia. The LC is a fantactic machine and I am certain the Sequoia will be the same (when it finally gets here). Must admit I was a little concerned about how the 2001 LX's will differ but the killer deal I got made it all worthwhile. I plan on having this vehicle a very long time, so end vs beginning of model year matters little. The heart of an LC but the manners of an LS400. What a combo! Once again, thanks to everyone!!

Dear V. Bentley, Congratulations, and many, many happy miles of motoring in your new LX470! Those of us who are still dreaming of acquiring an LX470 would be interested in knowing where you got your killer deal. Is your dealer located in your home town, or did you have to go out of town or out of state to find a dealer willing to offer a good deal?
