Julian,
It will last forever, especially if you bought it new and have run it in a climate without a lot of road salt. My LX-470 lived in the North Country all its life and was starting to have corrosion problems so it was time to say goodbye. Sad day. For long trips, it was the most comfortable vehicle I've ever driven.

Since this is my daily driver and I'm not towing anything currently, I replaced it with a BMW 545 xi sport wagon. Starting in 2011, BMW stopped importing the wagon. Too bad, really. I love the utility of wagons and SUV's. I still have two smaller SUV's in the fleet.

I used the Levinson system to listen to our local classical and jazz stations, both of which are very well engineered and sound fantastic.
