The 2003 Lexus GX 470 is a brandnew nameplate that's based on the allnew Toyota 4Runner. The new Lexus comes with a powerful 4.7liter V8 that's smooth and quiet. The GX 470 features the latest in offroad management systems and a suspension that gives it the ability to go virtually anywhere. On the road, it uses Vehicle Skid Control to help the driver maintain control in slippery corners. Its brakes are excellent. Inside, the GX 470 is roomy and quiet, swathed in leather and birdseye maple. It is a Lexus, so everything is where it's supposed to be. The Lexus GX 470 fits between the popular carbased RX 330 and the ultraluxurious, ultracapable truckbased LX 470. It's smaller and lighter than the Toyota Land Cruiserbased LX 470. Like the LX, the GX uses traditional truck engineering with bodyonframe construction, a rearwheeldrive chassis layout, and a V8 engine. Though based on the 4Runner, the Lexus GX 470 offers a personality of its own. To some extent, it competes with the BMW X5 4.4i and the MercedesBenz ML 500, but the Lexus is longer, wider, taller and lighter than either of those entries.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2003 Lexus GX 470, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2003 Lexus GX 470 for less money than when it was new. If the 2003 Lexus GX 470 was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2003 Lexus GX 470 is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2003 Lexus GX 470 will have a excellent resale value. This assumes that the 2003 Lexus GX 470 is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
