I was sceptical when you mentioned it but now I see how cool of a pick up it was. You can't go wrong with an NA engine, if I were to look for a cheap to maintain car I would definitely look for NA manual transmission car myself.
I really like this one because unlike other Lexus SUVs, this one looks like it's a 2015 model or something. Way less of those extra sharp cuts on the body work and while I don't think they look bad on other Lexus cars, I prefer more of those older, round shapes. It looks like it's meant to put in work on some snow and rough terrain, kind of like Land Cruisers do as well. It's kind of like RAV4s for me - I like the 2nd gen shapes much more than 4th/5th gen.
As for the spec, while the Nori Green looks pretty damn good and stands out a little, I think a "Japanese" spec looks mighty fine as well, it's just probably going to be harder to maintain in this condition. :) I think Lexus does red/burgundy leather the best and I love your decision of going for it. The updated center console probably wouldn't be that big of a deal for me but whatever rocks your boat. Overall, I like this some sort of simplicity of the interior and it's elegant looks.
What are your plans for it? Do you plan to keep it for years to come or are you planning on selling it after this or next winter season? It might be European thing because I feel like Lexus cars are way less common here than in the US, but they seem to depreciate like crazy, hence why I ask this question.
Anyways, happy for you and excited for what you're going to do with the car. Now I can only hope your region will get blessed with some heavy snowstorms so you can film some cool GX videos for us :)
