Lexus GX 470 vs. Toyota 4Runner
I keep hearing that the 4runner and the GX470 is the same. Well, people it's not! You guys really need to sit in both to compare and it's not the same! It's Luxury vs. Economy. I can see as far as size and some of the parts, but there is no comparison. I am tired of people coming up to me at the gas station saying crap like you are just paying for the name. The 4runner is the same...IT"S NOT DAMN IT!!! The 4runner rides like a bumpy truck and the GX is smooth and quiet. The leather and interior alone should shut people up, but they just don't get it. Sorry guys I just need to vent when people has to be negative just because you have a nicer car.

But the frame, powertrain (engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential, axles) and basic suspension design are the same.
Two Options:
2006 GX470 50k miles
$25500 + $1800 repairs = $27300
used car dealer bought at auction. no service history. lexus says will need new tires + break pads + 1 extra key
or
2007 Toyoyta 4runner Sport V8 4wd 50k miles
also used car dealer, trade in
$22500
Which will retain value better over the four years I plan to have it and which is guaranteed to be more reliable?
It seems online, lexus has slightly lower maintenance costs due to service intervals at 7500 miles but higher repair costs. Also, lexus has worse mileage so it's a wash there.
