I'm surprised they're actually selling some LX570s... not surprised about the rest... car sales are down across the board

people who can afford one    If you can afford an 80k SUV then gas prices don't deter you from a luxury SUV purchase

The LX 570 is awesome on the inside.  Fit and finish is first, first rate, I thought I was in a Bentley.  My wife loved it for the pure luxury, for the pure ambience.  I'd be looking at 1500/mo on a lease with a very low depreciation, making it harder to buy it later, I guess.

But it hurts too much paying full MSRP.  The dealer had two, one was already sold, I test drove one that was sold the following week.  I would have to wait 15 odd days to get a white pearl one.  It's selling more than they expected, or so I was told.

The car is a beauty, the engine is a peach (5.7L V8 also on the Sequoia I got), and the off road capabilities are there, second to none.  But it is too expensive indeed. 

there's only 3 M3s at the dealership here, the only problem is its the same 3 that have been there FOREVER!

Do you know how to drive a manual transmission car Oz?
