It’s remarkable that pre-owned Lexus 4WDs remain such a value in comparison to their Toyota counterparts. Today’s 2008 Lexus LX570 (192,550 miles) is no exception. It is underpinned by the LC200, yet is almost half the price of many same-year Land Cruisers (reference this $40,000, 201,000-mile, 2008 Land Cruiser 200 Series). The LX570 carries forward the legendary build quality, reliability, and capability of the 200 Series but introduces sumptuous interior luxury. Subsequently, it’s a favorite on our forum with recent examples including a 2009, 2010, and 2011. The popularity of the LX570 platform hasn’t gone unnoticed, which unfortunately means steadily increasing prices, but on a more positive note, it’s ensured impressive aftermarket support. Subsequently, you can transform this luxury SUV into a pinnacle around-the-world overland vehicle as demonstrated by builds from TFL Offroad, Overland Trail Guides, and Davey Jordan. If you’re looking for a do-it-all turnkey rig that’s just as comfortable on the commute as it is on the Pan-American Highway then look no further.
From the Seller:
“The LX570 is still the hidden gem of the Land Cruiser world. This 2008 was the first year and has finally come down in price to a point where it will begin to appeal to the everyman overlander. I searched for a long time to find this rust free example with a lifetime of factory maintenance. Unique to the LX570 is the ability to run 35-inch tires without a lift, keeping that plush Lexus ride. Need more clearance off-road? Just go to High mode with the adjustable AHC. Like the GX470 and G460 have done in past years, overlanders are discovering the potential of the LX570 as a serious overlander.”
