Buy a truck that holds up better, resale value

It's not what I expected in the long run. Resale value depreciation rate. I, had a hard time finding someone to give me a fair trade in offer. Most places want newer vehicles, especially newer technology safety standards. These cars get terrible fuel mileage. You might as well drive a truck. A car that takes premium gas only gets expensive. Also repairs for a lexus is expensive. Just not worth the money, these cars are fading out. They stopped making them 2023.

Gasoline vehicle's are fading away

At the time this was a fun car to drive around. This car is heading on nine years old now. Pretty much outdated, compared to newer car's with newer technology. It's just how it is, and new cars are becoming electric. These two door coupe v-6 cars are fading away. Good by to lexus gasoline vehicles.

Outstanding quality and extremely comfortable GT

Outstanding quality and extremely comfortable and quite Grand Touring car. So far no reliability issues, and just normal scheduled maintenance, fluid changes at the recommended intervals, and brake pads and tires so far at 62k mlles.
