A v8 petrol one would be a good alternative however a 2011 one is still around the 55k mark... a new y62 driveaway is 72 to 74 k and full warranty 100k and 3 years... it isnt a l322 though, but is a wayyy better prospect than a lc200 in almost, actually in every , way.

Thats the colour. The bizarre thing with out last 3 cars, the LS430; bought used from port maquarie - gold. The 2004 accord v6; bought from my local panel beater mate; gold. The l332, bought used from melbourne yard; gold.... do you see a pattern emerging here???😅

The Ti-L doesnt make much sense as an option to me. Its effectively $20k extra for cooled/heated seats, rear dvd players and active cruise control and some other minor things . If it was $10k more i would have bought it but at $20k more i didnt see the value. What did u think??

The one i looked at today was a Ti. Way more than i was expecting in the comfort , lack of NVH and appointments. Wouldn't bother with a TIL personally. 74k driveaway for a Ti 2018 build. And that included the special order paint. I thought that was pretty good considering there are 2015 ones listed at 65k!!!

But if doing a lot of heavy towing,the solid axle on the LC would be an advantage?

I suppose airbags maybe able to be fitted to the Y62,but thats more complications....

I am thinking hard about this yes. My van is 250kg on the ball so hoping the sag is minimal. There is currently no suspension upgrade to the HBMS system available and the early models wrre the only ones without it. I gues a WDH would help but i hate them with a passipn. That IS one of my major loves with the l322. Self levelling independent suspension. Its what makes it the best towing vehicle i have ever used.

I'm still thinking long and hard on the gold significance JC.
I think I'll ring a really clever psych friend and bounce it off her as I'm really worried about the conclusions I've drawn...
