Sorry Russ, but 80k is OUT OF THIS WORLD for a YOTA! As nice as the inside of the new LC is, i think 60k is even a lil high for it....

^^ No argument here Chris. But at nearly 6,000 pounds, 400 hp, and an interior that is as nice as, if not nicer than, its Lexus sibling, it's perfect for what I need.
Plus compared to the price of a new Range Rover, it feels like a bargain. I put 73,000 miles on my 2008, paid 68k for it, and it wholesaled for 41k at trade-in. In the meantime, I changed the oil every 5,000 miles, and never visited the service department. Ever. For anything. And it had been in the woods often.
For my money, the Land Cruiser is one of the best vehicles in the world, period. And the absolute best with three rows of seats.
But I think you got a great car, Green, in that QX. And definitely a great value!

The car is setup for the roadcourse but I'll hit the strip once or twice a year. The suspension is very stiff. Coil overs, big sways and solid bushings. Does not transfer weight for $%it at the 1/4.
Engine - Forged bottom with a stroker crank and a very slight over bore to 454ci. Mildly aggressive cam. LS7 heads ported and polished. Ported Fast 102 w/ NW 102 TB. Headers and hi flow exhaust.
RPS carbon/carbon twin disk clutch.
Dyno'd 570rwhp/540rwtq

See Russ, that's why YOU DA MAN! I need the car to "make me", on the other hand YOU make the car
I still can't believe Chevy and GMC get 60k+ for a pickup truck with a "fixed" shell(tahoe/denali)!

Eric can drive his cars. Obviously the car has the power as shown by the trap speed but he can get his cars out of the hole.
