$200 sales tax on a brand new OT+ sounds good to me

Can’t fund the CA fantasy on $200

Yep had a brain fart on the sales tax. seems like a no-brainer if the '26 is what you want.

Too many dealers selling at MSRP to pay over for a GX.

Sales tax only on the difference here to, so that would be a non issue.

I have an '25 OT+ which I purchased for approx. base price of $85K + Tax + Fees = $91K OTD. My down-payment was ~50%
Only have ~3,500 miles.
Working with a dealer to trade-in for the exact same vehicle but a '26 model (base price + fees = $87K).
Dealer is offering ~$85K for a trade-in.
Is it a worth-while offer? Need some guidance since I've never traded a car before. Thank you!

Sounds like a good deal to me. You'll get the sales tax credit on the trade in, so the total out the door price can't be much. What dealer are you working with? I haven't been able to find a GX available at any dealerships in Texas. Most say there is still a 3-4 month wait.

Sounds like a good play - what's the motivation BTW? I'd do it in a heartbeat

I’m thinking about the same thing. Did you pull the trigger. That said im really really looking for a LUx+ with all of the OT off road features (locker/terrain modes, etc). Damn you Lexus for making us compromise.
