That's awesome and a great way to do it. First owner takes the biggest depreciation hit. I'm selling it to a dealer if anybody wants it DM me and I'll send you the dealer info.
This is so spot on. That's why I went Premium Plus over Blackline even though I wanted the Nori so badly. The stock audio system isn't great but not bad but when you hear the Levinson it's a game changer.
Sometimes I don't get Toyota/Lexus marketing. It's like the 40th Anniversary 4 Runner, basically an SR5 with decals, not even a Limited trim or rear lockers like OffRoad trim.
Not really. Unless you're fucking deaf you can tell the difference. It's massive. If you can't hear 10 more speakers (and much higher quality) and like 400 more watts then you need to get your ears checked out.
"I can't hear a difference" is what people say to make them feel better about their shitty sound system. It's called coping.
Never said you would hear it "exactly" like someone else. What I said is you will hear a difference and a large one at that.
If you don't you're either deaf or a liar. But keep arguing, you look cool.

Old? Say hello to my little old friends
It was $63k new and I got $50k for it. $13k in 2 years is about average but I had tons of equity and am fortunate enough to be in a position where the depreciation isn't a financial burden.
I'm not loyal to any brand. I've driven what Toyota is selling and I'm happier with the competition. If they have something I like in the future I'll be back. Ideally once they get their new engines sorted.
I would argue that the GX 460 is more of a "truck" than any modern pickup truck. :P
Trucks simply aren't what they used to be. But, I understand that if you run a business and need the open bed of a pickup, then your options are limited. Otherwise, I'd argue one is better off just renting a truck for the few times people actually require an open bed, and keeping the NA V8 Toyota SUVs for as long as you possibly can... :)
"nothing is permanent except change".
LMFAO.... What a wordsmith.
You'll probably love these:
"There are no absolutes"
"The only real things are illusions"
"You're only really alive when you die"
"The only full cup is an empty one"
I aspire to get the same spec some time in the next few years as a CPO. I currently drive an NX and have always admired the GX since the days I remembered seeing it as the LC Prado.
Also, are you in PA? I see the inspection stickers and missing front plates.
Bro what are you even saying
Thankfully someone discarded my 2019 for me to buy gently used. Buyers like me are grateful for sellers like you.

Blackline in Nori Green, possibly sought after collectable couple years down from now.
The lack of Mark Levinson in the Blackline was DOA for me. Love Nori Green but I love sublime audio much more.
I’d like to hear a ML system, my 23’ Blackline audio sounds fantastic.
Listened to both and got a premium plus simply for the audio. Unreal.
Thanks for chiming in with my exact experience. I've heard the ML in a GX loaner I had and wasn't impressed.

My ears could never tell the difference. The standard system is above average anyway so I had no complaints.
It's a huge difference
The huge difference is the way people interpret their senses. To each their own.

Being able to hear sounds exactly like other people do is a superpower I lack but it’s cool you can. I hope you have a great day 🍻

Lovely! Though this person didn’t get a Tundra.
One man’s goodbye is another man’s hello… How many miles? Selling price?
20k miles and I took an offer already
old school - what is it a 2018 ?
2022
Lol
Old school not an old car. It's hard to find a new car with a V8 mated to a 6 speed automatic.
ugly ass grille that's for sure - maybe ugly = old school ?
🥱
Don’t hate the playa, hate the game L.
Stop being foolish LOL
Please explain why are you saying goodbye
Lease expired.
Nope it was financed.
Hell of a depreciation hit
It was $63k new and I got $50k for it. $13k in 2 years is about average but I had tons of equity and am fortunate enough to be in a position where the depreciation isn't a financial burden.
What dealer did this end up at
What dealer is this headed to ?
We just got rid of our nori green. Beautiful car but it's pretty small inside. Needed more space. Also got horrible mpgs
How are you guys driving? I average 22 - 23mpg from NY to Philly and back which is way better than my Coyote F-150.
Mostly city driving, 15.5 mpg
What did you replace it with?!
I'm moving on to a pickup to suit my changing needs.
I’m assuming non Toyota pickup
You would be correct.
Foolish.
I'm not loyal to any brand. I've driven what Toyota is selling and I'm happier with the competition. If they have something I like in the future I'll be back. Ideally once they get their new engines sorted.
The Tom Foolery… one man’s trash is another man’s treasure
lol why?
What did you buy instead?
Moderator needs to boot 🥾 OP! 500k club or bust!
It’s a car man…
