r/LexusGX

This is showing 267 miles. What could be a possible reason for such low mileage for sale? This is basically new.

I have a 2023 GX with 22k miles, and I’ve noticed that when shifting from Park to Drive or from Drive to Reverse, it sometimes takes a few seconds to engage the gear. It’s a bit frustrating, especially when backing out in a parking lot with cars waiting or pulling out of my house onto a busy road. Is this normal behavior?

I saw some posts where you can get an extended warranty through Toyota for a Lexus RX 350. I am looking at a 2021 Lexus RX 350 Premium with 30,000 in central Ohio. It is a one owner and was traded in on a Lincoln. My wife has a 2023 GX460 Premium which the best car she has ever had. I would appreciate any insight and information in this forum. Thanks!!

I started search for side moldings for my RX500h but seems like Lexus doesn't provided OEM for Iridium color so google search gave me after market side moldings from Sportwing. I installed them and do like the end result, Hopefully it will be useful for some who are on the fence.

Is it possible for a dealer to move the odometer forward?

Here's why I ask. My gx spends half the year parked while I am at my central American farm. My truck host drives it once a month when I'm out. This time, she changed the oil at 158k. The I came back and it needed a new battery. Replaced. Now only 3 weeks back it registers 163k and I need another oil change. Can this happen via dealership ( where the oil was changed ) or with battery swap.

No one drove the truck 5k miles.

I’m dealing with electrical issues, transfer case issues, or something more serious.

Originally had these codes:

• P0761 Shift Solenoid “C” Performance/Stuck Off
• P2714 Pressure Control Solenoid “D” Performance/Stuck
• P0420/P0430 Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold

Truck also had a badly corroded and cracked battery terminal. After cleaning/replacing the positive terminal, all lights temporarily went away and the truck was able to shift into and out of 4LO correctly.

Now the 4LO light flashes again intermittently and CEL came back with:

• P0157 O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage Bank 2 Sensor 2
• P0158 O2 Sensor Circuit High Voltage Bank 2 Sensor 2
• P0607 Control Module Performance

Symptoms:

• No transmission slipping
• No grinding into gears
• Drives/shifts mostly normal
• Steering feels normal
• Slight humming/grinding noise going straight that changes/disappears on bends (possibly wheel bearing?)
• 4LO can engage/disengage

Trying to figure out:

1. Could all this still be caused by voltage/electrical issues from the bad battery connection?
2. Does this sound more like transfer case actuator/sensor vs transmission failure?
3. Anyone seen P0607 triggered from unstable battery voltage on a GX460?
4. Could Bank 2 Sensor 2 wiring/sensor failure cause the weird O2 voltage swing codes?

Truck has around 186k miles.

Any GX460 techs or owners seen this combination before

Looking for a Gx460- considering a 2019 with 45k miles for $36k or a certified 2023 with 35k miles for around $50k. The 2019 has a clean car fax showing regular maintenance and the certified has a minor accident. I’d drop an aftermarket head unit to get CarPlay in the 2019. Both are base with premium packages and from the northeast and look clean. I’m leaning towards the 2023- but not sure if worth the price difference. I’m retired so it would be for running to the golf course, errands, but also the road trip car down to Florida - with the dog, golf clubs and luggage for a month or 2. I had a 2018 before and got rid of it during Covid for a GV70 and kick myself for it- just too small and lots of little things things make me nervous about keeping it long term - as I want something to last 10-15 years. Any thoughts would be appreciated? Open to other suggestions- I’d consider a 2020-2022 Rx with the V6- but not sure how much more room for stuff that will be than the GV70. Thanks in advance

Any dealer sales reps on here? Last time I bought a car (2024 Telluride at peak scarcity/dealer price gouging) I engaged with a rep on Reddit that outperformed anyone in a two state radius from me.

I know these things are hard to come by right now. Trying to get a feel for the broader market. My local dealer, who I have had negative experiences with in the past, said their new 550s are on a $2,500 deposit months-out waitlist. Trying to determine how typical that is right now. Open to feedback from customers on personal anecdotes and good dealer experiences too.

Looking to make a purchase in the next couple months. Open to traveling or shipping.
