#51 of 1118 9700C dsurowiec by motu1 Nov 26, 2003 (7:10 pm)
Congrats on a nice deal. Does the 9700C also have the roll-sensing curtain airbags (RSCA)?
#52 of 1118 motu1 yes it does have RSCA by dsurowiec Nov 27, 2003 (5:06 am)
Yes. I have a copy of a Lexus District News memo that says the following:  New features - 2004 GX470   Begining In November production, The GX470 will offer two new standard features: 1) Tire pressure monitor system 2) All new Roll-Sensing Side Curtain Airbag System   These features have been added with no increase to the base MSRP. Additionally, Lexus is also offering an all-new Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System available for an option price of $1,750. Finally, the Navigation system on the GX470 has been enhanced to now include a rear back-up camera, similar to the RX330 and LS430. The price of the Navigation System with Camera and Mark Levinson Audio package (NL) will be 3,050, reflecting a $350 price adjustment. These vehicles will show up in your inventory as 9700C instead of 9700B.
#53 of 1118 9700C Updates dsurowiec by motu1 Nov 27, 2003 (9:01 am)
Thanks for the info! The local dealer knew nothing about the updates (except for the camera). Glad to hear the news. I paid about $5k under at Lexus of Thousand Oaks and the vehicle is due-in mid-December. But, I don't know if this type of deal is repeatable because of special circumstances. We committed to a 1st vehicle only to find that it sold 10 minutes prior. Then, we worked the price lower on another color and committed, only to later find it had the wrong color leather (gray). I think I got a good deal because they were trying to move the 9700B units and I was lucky enough to get switched into a 9700C. Anyway, I'd say $3-4k off msrp for the 9700C units is still a great price. For you shoppers out there, I highly recommend Lexus of Thousand Oaks. Thanks again for the info David S.

The part responsible for the clunking noise was replaced today. I'll be driving the GX periodically over the next couple of days and will report on the outcome. Thanks for the info.
#55 of 1118 What to do?? by chd1234 Nov 29, 2003 (5:29 am)
Did a deal last weekend for a '04 GX (rear camera/tire pressure gauge) with nav, levinson, 3rd row and rear entertainment. Wanted a specific color (dark blue/gray interior), and got it, for $48,000. So I called yesterday with a couple of simple questions and was told that the sales person is no longer with the company. So I spoke with one of the managers who told me that car is not available (I have a signed purchase agreement). He didn't have a good excuse, but is trying to get me into colors I don't want, or to let him do the rear entertainment after market. So, two questions: 1. How hard can I push this for price concessions/added options? 2. Does anyone know if aftermarket rear entertainment affects resale value??   Thanks for your help.

I'm sure the sales person wasn't authorized to sign your purchase agreement - who did? Take this issue straight to the GM of the dealership and have him honor the agreement you have. Assuming you also signed a legitimate purchase contract, you have legal rights to enforce it.   As for the aftermarket RES, I'm not sure how it affects resale, but it's sure not worth (or priced) the same as a factory installed system on the vehicles (MDX, Pilot) that I am considering. I could get an aftermarket Sony system for about $900 installed vs. the factory system for $1,500. However, it does not integrate as well with the front dash controls and, from what I understand, would not be covered by the car warranty. It's not the same, period.   Get the deal you signed.
#57 of 1118 Aftermarket DVD by lehighlexus Nov 29, 2003 (6:09 am)
I wouldn't go with it. We have had all sorts of problems with it where I work. I'd stick with factory
#58 of 1118 Customer Service by emykay21 Nov 29, 2003 (8:41 am)
I'm waiting to get the GX 9700C. Some dealers have told me that I should put my order in now to make sure I get the car I want (color/options). I'm concerned that once I put in my order, the dealer may try to put me in a different color, try to stick me with the aftermarket DVD or delay delivery.   I thought about asking for a penalty for not delivering on a timely basis or the exact car I signed for.   Any thoughts?
#59 of 1118 by chd1234 Nov 29, 2003 (9:00 am)
I would certainly get some guarantee. Don't make the same mistake I did. I put my order in...even saw the allotment sheet they had just gotten in. The car was on it's way. Now, magically, it's not. Something happened that they won't tell me about (got more money for it???). So...definitely write in some protection for yourself.
#60 of 1118 Ask them to write it on the buyer's order by lehighlexus Nov 29, 2003 (9:43 am)
If not at the dealership by said date, deposit is fully refundable. That is what we do here
