Explore the 2000 Lexus LX 470

THE BEST 4x4 of all time

Thinkin about that new RX350? Well consider the '00 LX 470. The 2000 Lexus LX 470 was Toyota's more plush alternative to the 100 series Land Cruiser, but don't be fooled by that majestic real wood and leather interior - this is probably the most capable car ever, period. The 3rd row seats have enough room to snooze for endless drives. The 4.7 Liter V8 sounds quieter than a breeze. The Nakamichi sound system is as close as you'll get to a mobile nightclub. Sure, the V8 may be quite mediocre, at only 230 bhp and 330 lb/ft torque, but keep in mind - the V8 is INDESTRUCTIBLE - LITERALLY. Our car was bought at 266,000 miles, but that really doesn't matter. GET ONE ASAP.

I purchased this car sight unseen.

I live in Alaska and had to come in for a few months so I purchased this auto because I was going have to rent one for 3 months and could't find a luxury suv less then $10,000. I found this one and because of the Carfax, service records and maintenance I knew it had been taken care of I purchased it sight unseen. I was not disappointed. Although the vehicle handles like a much smaller vehicle, looks smaller on the outside, is actually considered a full size suv, and has tons of room on the inside. The leather is in excellent condition, and looks more like a 2012 then a 2002 model.

It's a Lexus, zero problems even with this mileage

Great reliable 8 passenger SUV. Low miles for a 17 year old truck. It has been well maintained. Next buyer is getting a well kept car.

One of the best trucks ever made

Everyone knows lexus is the best and this is the best truck for the money. It has adjustable suspension for rock climbing or snow with a push of a button. The 4x4 system is stronger and better than anyone else.

The finest vehicle I've ever owned!

I've owned Jaguars and Mercedes and this is by far the best vehicle I've EVER owned. Maintenance isn't cheap but it's nothing compared to a Mercedes. The body style is almost identical from 98-2007 so it's timeless. Great truck, comfortable, and the height level adjustable suspension is great for ease of getting in and out of my parents. If you want luxury but safety of an SUV...this is the vehicle. You will not be disappointed.

Best Cost of Ownership

We live in the mountains of Colorado. Most flatlanders won't even attempt to come up my driveway (12 degree grade), much less the switchbacks that lead to my house. I use my 4Low and ride the gears daily. I have 122K on my 2000 LX470 and aside from replacing the timing chain at 100K and the occasional change of fluids,brakes and tires I have never had an unexpected maintenance cost or unplanned downtime - which, for me, could be the difference between sleeping in my car 'til help arrives or getting home safe. My Lexus has been on the desert trails of Moab and the two track trails of Leadville, Gunnison and beyond. My only wish would be the one piece axle of the older Cruiser's but, since I have never had a problem and it's a capable four-wheeler, no big deal. Occasionally I'll wash it and take it to a fancy restaurant in Vail or Aspen wher it fits in just fine. It's a great value too - at 10 yrs old mine looks good, runs great and I'm pretty sure will easily go another 120K w/ no problem. They should give people 20 yr loans on these cars. Yes, they're expensive but when you consider the cost of ownership, over the long haul they're cheaper to own than just about any other car out there.

Best SUV Ever

For the money, the is simply the best luxury SUV on the market. We purchased ours new in 2000 and have absolutely had no problems- -none. I have owned a 2003 Lexus SC 430 and this Lexus beats it hands down for ride and comfort. Features are unmatched in any other SUV. I also own a 2007 Mercedes G500 and I prefer the Lexus.
