GX 470, LX 470, or Sequoia
Title may be a bit obvious. Im currently between buying a Gen 2 GX or LX, and a Gen 1 Sequoia. I have been browsing quite a bit of FBM and feel like i've seen a decent amount of all 3 cars in the $7-8k range with 150-200k miles & decent condition- which is all good for me.
I'm more so looking for opinions on anyone who has owned one, or multiple of these models and can give some better insight on their strengths/weaknesses/what to look for. Just from feeling the market out- it seems like the Sequoia & GX would be the best bang for my buck, obviously the Lexus options will have more creature comforts which i wouldn’t mind.
About me: I currently own a 2007 BMW 328i & consider myself pretty mechanically inclined. I'm a bit tired of it and the Euro quirks and want something bigger, more comfortable, and Japanese made. I'm not looking to do any crazy off-roading, maybe some light overlanding and beach crawling. Most of this cars life will probably just be short trips on backroads and TLC (if needed) to make it look/feel new again.
Thanks!
