2017 Lexus IS350 Cost of Ownership! Is It Worth It?

Drop a like if you enjoyed the video!

[@winterlamaster]

I really like these cars. But 250 miles average per tank, you have a 17 gallon tank... ... that is insane. That's worse than my Tundra.

[@Miko3IS]

Yup it is absolutely insane. I do push it but more than half the time I drive its just cruising

[@dnegel9546]

Damm thats about what i get with my 2013 chevy traverse. 🤔

[@Prod_Beatzz]

It’s because it’s NA no turbo it’s a POS

[@davarenalford1725]

I can get 300-320 out of my “15 350 but you have to be strictly eco just chillin

[@dnegel9546]

@@Miko3IS btw thanks for your video and being honest about the mpg. I was thinking of getting one to get a more fuel efficient sporty car. Since i daily drive a 4th gen camaro (v8😟). But guess ill go with a corolla hybrid instead. Cant have 2 gas guzzlers.

[@ronaldofernandez3244]

Did u say 400 a month for oil change ? Cause I’m about to buy the same car but that just scared me not gone lie

[@Miko3IS]

No brother about 400 a year

[@LegendBarca1]

My 24 IS 500 full coverage is $127. I’m in my late 20s but never got into an accident or speeding tickets since 16 y/o.

[@Miko3IS]

Goddamn thats an amazing price especially for a IS500! As long as my record stays the way it is I should be hovering down to those rates in the next year

[@illusions611]

Yo keep up the lexus content and more povs , you make good videos

[@Miko3IS]

[@jeffl1484]

Of course it's worth it. Like my LC, as with the other Lexus' we own, the maintenance is minimal. But as with most cars, take care of it - and it will take care of you.

[@ditiprel4]

My 04 lexus ES330 gets 13mpg. So same problem with mpg. With lexus, you trade mpg for amazing reliability (excluding the new turbo 4s).

[@babyt3595]

I got my 24 Is350 n bouta pay $400 close to $500 for insurance. Definitely cause of my 2 speeding tickets n swerving lil crash driving record 😂 Plus I’m 21.

[@Miko3IS]

sheeeesh bro that makes me less upset about my rate lol.. Hopefully they lower your rate after a few months or a year

[@halfcookedtorrilla3094]

Same bruh 😔

[@Jlbernabe831]

Dang. I pay pretty similar. But it's a fun ride. Always turns on. I'm at 120k miles And same shit with tires. Continental DWS fire tires.

“Mathematical calculations” 😂 Instant subbed

[@i_am_Jeremiah]

-MPG I have a 2015 IS350 AWD and I get 310+ miles with each fill up. I never drive the limit and use Sport + 20% of the time, Normal 80% and Eco pretty much never. I use Shell V Power fuel and nothing else. I’d say I drive on the highway 60% and city 40%. -Oil My oil changes are $70 synthetic -Tires I have bought one set of tires in 4 years and they still have plenty of life left. I guess it just depends on the driver but I can guarantee you I have the tickets to prove I’m an aggressive driver and yet the car has been phenomenal for me in performance and efficiency I also replace OEM parts with OEM parts no matter what.

From CT as well I drive a m340i clean V was just thinking I should start doing POV drives I’ll take this as a sign 😂

FULL COVERAGE FOR $170 a Month?? I would drop on my knees for that. I’m paying someone’s car payment for my 2017 CT and scared to upgrade to a newer IS because they might justify upping it to $600/month.

[@Miko3IS]

Damn brother unless the that price is justify due to driving history and claims id absolutely shop around. That makes me feel like a asshole complaining about 170💀

[@m.newman7722]

Sounds like a horror story. I have a 2020 RC 350 F-sport, and after almost 55,000 miles, I am still on the original front tires and rear brakes, the front brakes lasted until 46,000 miles and the front rotors were not warped and did not need replacement, front brake pads were switched out for Akebono brakes which are excellent and minimal brake dust. I frequently get 32-33 MPG on the freeway and at the very worst, get a minimum of 325 miles on a tank of gas doing 90% + around town driving. Costs are higher compared to several years ago for all car maintenance, but your costs appear extreme, IMO. Insurance here in California is somewhat similar, and the car was initially bought new, my payments are more expensive. Overall in almost 4 years of maintenance not including gas or insurance, but including new front brakes, rear tires, and basic yearly maintenance, the car so far has been costing me less than $500 a year. New front tires will be in several months or so. I can only speak for myself, but you appear to be as noted, somewhat at the top limits of normal or worse in the manner you drive your car, and your yearly maintenance and costs appear to reflect this assumption. Good luck on your next vehicle. Burn rubber, brake hard = $$$$.

[@lillarry3000]

Dude they're trying to charge me 325 a month clean driving record since 2014 till now and I have a work van so I wouldn't drive it alot I told them that and they still wanna charge 325 for a new one I'm 28 aswell

Damn. That mpg a killer lol I drive 80 miles a day. I think i’ll keep my camry

[@gissellemendez8390]

[@Knowledgeabletuber]

Imagine being so deep in debt just to flex a car that’s losing value every time it touches the road. Dropping nearly $16K a year to impress people who probably don’t care is like lighting your wallet on fire and watching the flames burn your paycheck away-an expensive illusion of success. But hey, I guess when your financial literacy taps out before middle school, a car payment becomes the closest thing to a diploma. Here’s a tip for the broke boys: stay in school, maybe learn how compound interest works, and stop pretending that luxury means financial freedom. Because right now, every time you turn that key, you're burning cash faster than your gas tank drains!

[@Miko3IS]

@@Knowledgeabletuber I guess the other comments got you triggered lol. Goodluck with your brand new truck thats worth half what you paid when you got it and dont forget to stay tuned for the next video. Also auto loans arent compound interest so maybe go back to school to rekindle your knowledge a bit

[@Knowledgeabletuber]

@@Miko3IS It's clear you don’t understand the value difference between trucks and cars, but that’s expected from someone who talked their dad into buying them a 10-year-old Lexus for the price of a brand-new one. When your credit score is in the gutter, I guess you have to settle for whatever scraps you can get, but let’s face it-at a 3% interest rate, you basically paid $40k for a car with built-in problems. You're the perfect example of someone who doesn’t just make bad decisions, you embody what it means to throw money away. Congratulations on being a walking financial disaster

[@Miko3IS]

@@Knowledgeabletuber You sound like an moron once again. You have the most common car in america that holds no value. I have a 7 year old car thats very sought after and reliable and holds its value tremendously over time. I paid $36500 out the door INCLUDING interest with no problems, its a specialty toyota you cant get more reliable than this 😭.You keep saying 10 year old but when I purchased was 4 years old and I paid 4k under the value. Not gonna keep going back and forth with you after addressing every false claim you made. Go buy new trucks and make the dealers happy for your business

[@Knowledgeabletuber]

@@Miko3IS Bro’s out here flexing a decade-old car like it’s a life achievement while I’m sitting on two properties worth over three-quarters of a million combined, one paid off and the other set to be mine in three years. Meanwhile, he’s probably pulling up to his shift at McDonald’s or MetroPCS, dreaming about owning anything that’s not depreciating by the day. Keep that hustle going, champ-one day you might upgrade from parking in the employee lot.

@@Miko3IS You seem like the type who measures their height in ego, not inches. Dropping $36,500 on a car that's nearly a decade old when you could get a brand new one for $44k just proves how bad you are with numbers-and decisions. Being 6'7" doesn’t change the fact that waking up as you every day is still the biggest joke.

[@Miko3IS]

@@Knowledgeabletuber You sound like an absolute idiot. You mention ego meanwhile you’re commenting about your interest rate on a f-150 on a video about a lexus when nobody asked you or gives a f**k about your interest rate. I bought the car in 2021 when it was only 4 years old and got a great interest rate given they were around 5% at the time. You on the other hand were so fixated on getting ”0% interest” that you forgot about the 10% of value you lose on your brand new car simply driving off the lot and on top of that the 30% you lose just the first year of ownership. I gaurentee youve lost more money in depreciation then Ive spent on interest + depreciation. Enjoy your brand new truck thats barely worth half of what you paid 4 years ago while i enjoy my ”decade” old car
