INEOS gone and replaced......

I’ve never understood folks that shell out $100K for a vehicle only to turn around and take a huge bath on it backing out. Maybe do a bit more homework…

And then gloat about it on a public forum lol. I would be too embarrassed.

Unless it genuinely was a lemon law case.

Didn’t take a bath. Was an early buyer so only paid a little over $100k and had it nearly 2 years so in fact wasn’t a bad trade at all. The issue is it is sold as a go anywhere tough vehicle which it is not. It has many problems and poor reliability. I can’t afford to have the risk of getting stuck again when it fails.

Just too many small issues all the time. I had no confidence in it at the end. I wanted to love it but couldn’t. Had issues with aircon not working on days and then just working again, stick locks, system errors, the tech and apple car play and phone system is horrible. It’s a tiring car to drive day to day and then on long distance drives I started getting cramps from the step in the foot well. Signs of rust at early age also a concern. I wanted to love it but it just couldn’t.

Curious where you found rust so I can watch for that

Sounds like someone did an impulse buy to get the newest thing out there and did not buy according to needs and expectations. I think the Ineos is absolutely perfect for me....and canceled an order for GX550+ and Sierra AT4X when I found out a dealer was opening in my town and would have to drive to Atlanta or Triad for service and to purchase.
Lots of people want the new things to be different but then realize this manufacturer REALLY DID build it primarily for OFFROAD and gave it some ONROAD manners to satisfy that part of its use.....and it wasnt just TALKING THE TALK like so many that are onroad luxary vehicles with solid offroad but not purpose built.
I owned Landcruisers for decades...just sold 2016 Tundra 4x4 TRD fully loaded.....as Lexus GX is only one even considered because doesnt have hybrid...but was so automated and crap...not really a Landcruiser like 300, 200, 100, 80, 60, 40 series here in states...is a Prado like the FJ Cruiser. Toyota may have lost me forever unless they buck up and bring a diesel 76 over here. LOL
Like I said before....I went in eyes wide open after having FJ60s, FJC, UZJ100 and driving FJ55, FJ40s...old tractors, farm trucks, military deuce and 5tons...... no surprises for me at all other than how comfortable it rides on highway.
Enjoy the GX...good vehicle but not in same class as Grenny for durability and offroad applications.
