Lamborghini Urus?

A lot of pressure on the new Range Rover to deliver and it is still at least a year out. IMO Bentayga and Urus are played out. I would never pay over sticker for any Benz product. Keep shopping around there are dealers out there willing to do deals at MSRP.

The Urus and the Panamera -- just plain wrong -- period.

As ostentatious as the G63 is...the Urus is another level...and not over 6000 LB GVWR

i actually think G63 is more of a head turner than Urus. i test drove Urus and felt it was actually very understated especially from the rear. G63 more of an event... and Urus = Audi

Depends on color too--a yellow one definitely would get attention.

The only Urus I've seen in person was white and initially I thought it was a VW Atlas Cross Sport.

There’s a blue one where I live.

agree, Lambo Urus looks like Pontiac Aztek, RR Cullinan looks like a Ford. G looks like jeep but still unique, great value for $, minimal depreciation when compared to others. G drive is better than all.

lol!!

I'm cross shopping between the urus and G. If I didn't have to wait a year for the G the Urus wouldn't be in the equation though. Probably picking up a urus until the g comes in.

spourreza

the problem with Uris is the value drops like a tank... tough car to buy as a bridge until the G63 arrives. too much depreciation unless leasing

What's so intolerable about you current ride?

I had 3 Lambos in the past, resale value is horrible not even as a trade in. Urus dealers play hard to get but the car is not in high demand and supply is constant so not even close to G63 in keeping its value. I sold my 19 G63 and placed a deposit for 21 G63, I got a new demo Lexus GX460 Premium w 11k discount which will be sold without loss when I get the G. The GX reminds me w G, solid, big, well equipped but not fancy.

Great question and to be honest nothing. I just get quickly bored with cars and sold my last "non needed" car a few months so looking for something new.

your question may have saved $20k😂

Careful with the GX -- you might end up liking it enough to keep it along with the G. I had one for 11 years, and sold it only because its resale value had peaked with about 100K miles. Without a doubt one of the best vehicles I've ever owned.

streborx

Try to keep your perspective -- 12 months fly by in a flash. It still takes 9 to make a kid (although there can be some REALLY long days along the way).

medtner

was debating the need for G which will cost 172k plus taxes and fees compared to GX which was 50k out of the door, new, and has all luxury item. I think that the WOW/exotic factor is not there.
If Lexus stops making GX in 2022 , rumors will become TX, then GX value will increase dramatically.

jamesszzz

Do they? Looking on eBay, they appear to hold their value? (unless there is a huge discrepancy in asking vs selling but don't care for the Urus enough to do the research)

streborx

I always regarded my GX as a 4Runner in a tuxedo. I took immaculate care of it, and except for a few chips in the paint, it was nearly showroom condition. I sold it for about 1/3 its out-the-door cost in 2008. Next to the RX, I think it's Lexus's best seller. My son tried to find a used GX coming off lease this past year, and they were all being snapped up as soon as they were being turned in. Maybe not exotic, but the wow factor was almost 100K miles without a recall or repair.

medtner

Good to know

streborx

I did quite a bit of research before selling mine last year. Obviously #1 is mileage -- they go forever, but the price difference between 150K miles and 75K miles on an 8 year old GX is substantial, just as with any other vehicle. I see 12-15 year old GX's driving around all the time, and there are few better looking vehicles that age that well.

Sorry - I've taken the OP way off on a tangent.

You should be able to order a G 550 or G 63 @ MSRP.
As long as you can wait 1-2 years. Patience

medtner

I don't think that anyone should pay over MSRP.
I called some dealers listings on Autotrader, marke up is between 25 and 40k as " a real market value ".
Called few dealers around, some asked for 10 to 25 k over MSRP to be agrred upon before they could put me on list. Finally found one at MSRP.
He knew that I had 2 G63, 15 and 19 models since I serviced them there.
If the market remains so hot, will see some " flippers" who will order and sell within 1 year , after paying taxes I don't think that they can make more than 5 to 10k over, Rolex has same problem, u can't get the simple sport steel watches from any dealer around the world unless u had a buying relation from. Many flippers are selling new or almost new watches at X1.5 - 2 MSRP.
I am still amazed that G is still keeping its value when RR Cullinan and Lambo Urus can't.
WHEN THERE IS A GELLANDEWAGEN, THERE IS A WAY!

Lexus. Owned a few but none recently. Nice vehicles but their SUVs have a face only a mother could love. Design team is simply awful...
