    Car & Driver: Overland and See: 2024 Land Rover Defender 130 vs. 2024 Lexus GX550

    I’ve been following the forum for a while - had not heard the comments about the tin door sound. That’s disappointing. The interior I agree has all the charm of the inside of a Maytag washer….

    Below MSRP now?

    In California - we're still seeing $10-$20K over sticker. There are a couple of dealers that do not charge a mark-up, but they are few and far between with massive waiting lists.

    Overtrail Roof Rack - Noise Reductions?

    Hello: Checking to see if anyone has cracked the nut on the roof rack and noise. Hearing (not pun intended) that the rack at higher speeds is noisy - and looking for ways to mitigate since removing one from a new car (unless the dealer plays ball) might be tough to do. If I'm stuck with it -...

    Interior Dimensions - Overtrail+

    I think the platform to enable using the fold down seat would solve the problem

    Interior Dimensions - Overtrail+

    Does anyone have the dimensions on the OT+ with the rear seats folded up as far forward as they will go to the rear tailgate when it is closed. Trying to figure if it is a sleeping length beyond just emergency use.

    Hood Flutter Investigated and Corrected

    I have also looked at sound deadening pads that are adhesive you can put around the beams and hood. Amazon There are several styles and thicknesses. I assume a heavier pad you could adhere would work well. I'm scared to try any spray foam. That stuff expands so fast - could you damage the...

    GX Overtrail+ not having Second Row Climate Controls and Digital Rear View Mirror at that price

    Has anyone heard when Lexus will announce the 2025 GX? Imagine that will hit in the fall?

    GX Overtrail+ not having Second Row Climate Controls and Digital Rear View Mirror at that price

    That is the one thing on the OT+ that is beyond a fubar - completely pathetic from Lexus.

    I'm surprised they put you in cuffs - is stealing a car in CA even illegal anymore?

    Prices on Used GX550's

    It's been like that for years on the higher end vehicles. Porsche dealers could not add significant mark-up to a GT3 RS, but ones with 120 miles sell at the local dealer for $450K+

    Dealer Markup List California

    You are liable for taxes only WHERE you register - not where you buy. Some states think otherwise though :-) . I’ve thought about buying and shipping - but would NEVER buy without someone looking at it first - never trust car dealers.

    The buckets of people I trust the least in general - anyone associated with a car dealer, realtors, insurance sales people. There are exceptions I'm sure

    Dealer Markup List California

    My favorite is the 'ceramic' protection for the interior. When my wife bought her 750 they tried to push that and a whole series of other things on her. Complete BS -

    Prices on Used GX550's

    I had a dealer this week trying to justify a $20K mark up (Lexus Beverly Hills) saying that the GX is so rare. I said - if it's so rare why are they making 40K of them in year 1 for the US? Also asked if he sits awake at night and wonders why most people hate car dealers/sales people :cool:

    Seeking Wisdom

    The 'Dealership Accessories' game is pathetic - when he said "they come standard with all new cars for first-time owners." You should respond with 'Oh, so you have prison sex with new customers - but cuddle with 2nd time buyers?"

    Dealer Markup List California

    Mark up above MSRP is just like someone handing me a machine to add a tip. It's gone beyond overboard these days. Dealers get kick backs left and right via financing/writing a lease AND normal mark-up. In addition - dealers now make more money from service than they do selling cars. I have...

    GX550 30 Day Stop Sale?

    That Lexus or the dealer would even deliver that vehicle does not speak well for them given their focus on quality. That says a lot (and not a positive speak) about their focus and shortcutting. If this was a jeep - totally get and expect the games. Not from Lexus....EVER. The more examples...
