After 3 years of having fun modding and driving our ST, it was time to move on. We put a deposit down on a Lexus GX550 in May of 2024 and it arrived this past weekend. The GX is a totally different SUV than the ST and really think that my wife will enjoy driving this more than the hotrod I had built her daily driver into. The ST was never in the shop for any reason other than recalls. Can say enough good things about it.

I will still be popping in from time to time to see what is going on with the ST world as I really enjoyed that car. If anyone wants to buy our old ST and lives in the Houston area, it is for sell at Westside Lexus.

Good luck with the Lexus! My wife hates driving my ST. She drives a 2025 GLE450. She much prefers the luxury pampering Mercedes over my modded ST. She had to drive mine for a few days when I had tinting and PPF done on the car and I couldn’t take the noise anymore. It’s too loud, ride is way too firm, I don’t know where the controls are, etc.

Exactly. I made the mistake of making the ST the way I wanted it which means she didn't like it.
