Thinking of trading in GX470 for CL55

Hey, I currently own a 2008 Lexus GX470 and drove a LX470 before that. I am strongly considering trading in the SUV to help pay for a CLS55 2009 or greater. Are there any previous Lexus owners who have made the switch? How has your experience been since switching? I figure I will get some biased answers considering where I am posting. Thanks.

-By the way my GX470 has 85k miles on it currently, fully loaded, has a value of just under $24k right now.

I have both. I have a 2004 gx470 and a 2003 cl55. Don't do it. My opinion.

GX470
Yeah I've been doing research and that seems to be the outcome with most. My mistake by the way I was interested in the CLS550 AMG series only, not the CL.

You should post to the CLS forum. This is the 215/216 CL forum.
