Looking to Buy in MD by shoppingmd

I am looking to purchase the GX470 before the end of the year. I would prefer to wait for the '05 to come out, but I was told that the new GX won't be at the dealers until December. Does anyone know this to be true??
Also what changes are in store for the '05?

I don't know when the '05's are coming out, but sometimes dealers will stretch the ETA for the new models to try to convince you to buy something on the lot.
 
Anyone?

this has been discussed before. The strong rumor is the 4.7L V8 will be getting VVTi heads and therefore horsepower will be boosted up from the current 230 to about 280 and torque will increase slightly without a sacrifice to gas mileage. Actually gas mileage may increase.

August 17th Detroit area Lexus dealers previewing the 2005 GX 470 by jim10

I just spoke with a local Lexus dealer in Detroit who will be going to a seminar put on by Lexus on August 17th. I will find out and post what they tell me.
 
Question for the group:
1. Is there a way to hook up my iPod to the lexus that doesn't involve a cassette tape or FM radio transmission? I want to have a direct connection so that the input is cleaner while keeping all controls of the iPod on the iPod itself.
2. Is XM or Sirrius (sp?) sat radio available from Lexus, or do I have to go aftermarket?
3. Has anyone compared the Infiniti QX 56 to the GX 470? I know that it is a bit of apples and oranges, but they both would fit in my garage.
 
Many thanks!
Jim

I was told the same thing by Lexus of Rockville.
 
In my opinion, the improved engine that will be in the 2005 is worth waiting for. However, if the price on the 2005 is non-negotiable as the "end of tax year" buyers flood the market (as was the case in the DC area last December), it may be very tough to get a good deal.
 
Let me know if you find out anything different. I'm tempted to get an order in early at an out of town dealership that will give a decent discount on a 2005 in advance. For whatever reason, Florida and California dealers appear to be discounting the GX470 by as much $5,000. Hopwefully I can find something a little closer, assuming I go with the GX.

Might want to try the Owners Club- Lexus board. They should have lots of info on those questions. Goodluck

It looks like my earlier reply to you got zapped in our software upgrade.
 
Presently, our Lexus Owners Clubs only has discussions related to the RX300 and LS.

Tax Implications purchasing cross state lines by gina6
Aug 20, 2004 (11:10 am)

Hello, very interested in the GX as well. Appears many are purchasing from states other than their primary residence. What are the sales tax implications and/or rules and regulations? And particularly if there are any that may have purchased in CA or OR and live in WA. Thanks.
