I bought a used 08 ES 350, ran that car 100000, had to change one rear shock, a battery, the oil rubber hose to metal, sway bar links. The rest was oil and filters. It had a bit of an oil leak put sealers it sealed up no more problems. It gave 28 to 30 miles at highways. The city mileage was 14 to 18 mpg. The A/C needed recharge, and it was ice-cold. I miss that car every day

Great video, really appreciate the time and effort put into different ways to finance a vehicle. Also want to emphasize one of your points: as someone who runs older cars, while you tend to save quite a bit of money up front purchasing something 5+ years old, even something as perfectly reliable as an ES still will have extra maintenance just due to aging of the vehicle. You have to have separate money to handle whatever comes up, the good news is that these issues usually are not immediately critical. And I love the new Corolla! Truly hard to beat.
@MeynMotorGroup
@MeynMotorGroup Жыл бұрын
I really appreciate your kind words my friend thank you! I agree I love the new Corolla, it looks great, drives well, and real world fuel economy is phenomenal. But yes with a used car you will still have depreciation, tire replacement costs, little maintenance items here and there, and if a repair is needed, well that can def add to the costs as well. Car ownership is just very expensive no matter how you look at it, used cars, new cars, finance, lease everything has a cost it's very difficult to win. Buying a new eco car with a discount and paying cash would be ideal but I understand not everyone can do that which is why I take the time to share the various ways of buying so viewers can be armed with as much info as possible.

Great overview. Watching this 7 months later. New Corolla interest rates in Canada are 7.5-8% anyway, and I can barely fit in a Corolla. Not the best alternative. The Corolla SE is about twice the price here and the FWD one is a bit bad in the winter. The AWD one is over CAD $40K. I found a few of these and I'm stepping down from a 500hp tuned Audi A6, which I will miss big time. I want to basically save money and reduce maintenance and repair costs.

Those are some great Nissans my friend super happy you got to experience & own a 280z & 300z. They def had CVT issues in the early 2000s... but so did Honda with their V6 automatic combo & even manuals! But I just never understood why Honda never got the same level of scrutiny it's like Honda used some sort of witchcraft on the public to erase everyone's minds 😅 I showed an example in the reliability section of this vid of an unfortunate situation where an owner of an ES had their transmission take a dump on them, new transmission would have cost him $8k. So sad when that happens but that's just the risk one has to take with these used cars

These Avalons/ES cars are pretty solid one of the few cars where I probably wouldn’t even buy a warranty for. Hondas got super complicated a new Honda is basically a lease and dump machine now. There was an owner with a 2019 Accord who documented a whole slew of issues with his car. Some of which the dealer totally ignored or said was normal. Crazy stuff. I also know of a Mercedes Master tech with benzes that have over 300k miles and not a single issue. Used car reliability can be all over the place.

My 2013 ES Hybrid is the best car I've ever owned (I've owned 4 Lexus (SC, RX, ES) and 2 Acura Legends in the 90s. It's at 252,000 miles and literally all I've had to do to it is basic maintenance and replacing the Michelin tires every 45K miles. Low octane gas, smooth and peppy performance, all while whisper quiet. I will have mixed emotions when I think about upgrading to a new ES Hybrid in the next couple of years.

New ES will come with full factory warranty so nothing to worry about. AutoCompanion offers 6% off MSRP and if you lease you can take advantage of low interest rates and an additional 2k off in the form of a lease incentive so leasing a new one is a no brainer and it is what I recommend to just about everyone.

I work in the insurance industry, in not life but property and casualty, I can absolutely assure you that loans from life policies have to be paid back. Essentially, you have to keep on making premium payments for the term of the policy, if the loan isn’t paid back then what’s left is just the limit with the loan amount taken out and then if by any reasons the terms of the policy were to be voided then you can potentially make your family liable for your loan.

Thanks so much for your valuable insight my friend! I personally got one of these WL “investment” policies from an agency that does not offer various property insurances. You’re absolutely right, premiums must be paid that’s a must. Regarding the loans, I do not have to pay them back as long as the interest does not accrue past the value of the policy then the policy would lapse so def need to at least pay interest. But in general, you should try and pay loan for sure. From what I understand, brokers would need to take a substantial cut on their commission to make the policy worthwhile for the client to get immediate access to 70-90% of their cash.

@@MeynMotorGroup My pleasure! I don’t have so much experience with life insurance, as they are usually separate, so take what I say with a grain of salt. In general, insurance policies are never considered an investment, rather you are paying a premium to hedge a risk, in this case death. If it was an investment, then no companies would offer it as they would have all gone out of business. Taking a loan from your life insurance could be more advantageous in some situations, but not for everyone, and this would typically be more attractive to a senior citizen who don’t have any direct beneficiaries. Otherwise, most ‘rich people’ that actually finance their vehicles do it through their mortgage or a securitized loans on investments.

The world might call you weird and tell you to focus your options but I completely understand, having your options open to something like a 4Runner is good as the 4Runner has excellent resale value, practical, and really fun to drive. 4Runner just has so much character and feels like a tank on the road. See my full review of the 4Runner I did you can search the channel it was a 2022. Downside of the 4Runner is obviously fuel economy but it's also slow when you're driving it half throttle around town like a normal human trying to chauffeur other people smoothly, you really have to floor it to get up and going so that can be unrefined. It's of course noisier than a luxury car but not in a bad way, again it adds to the character. Crash test safety isn't that great with the 4runner either due to the age of the platform. ES is a nice nimble vehicle but has no where near the character of the 4Runner but will feel quicker and smoother around town and performs pretty well in a crash test. It's only FWD and can't fold down the rear seats so not as practical. I personally would like a 4Runner or Lexus GX over the ES. Jim on the Leasehackr forum is offering like 6k-7k off on new 4Runners (will have to pay broker fee and have it shipped from PA) and AutoCompanion who I'm partnered with is offering 12% off msrp + $2500 in lease credits for a new GX (will have to pay broker fee and have to ship it from D.C.)

2013 ES 350 with 200K here. Would think mileage would be better. Getting around about 26 mpg, same as my 2007 Lincoln Town Car V8. No issues other than passenger CV (which wasn't easy or fun) and finding the interior subpar. Lexus' es s fake nulux shrivels up and peels off so having to replace door panels and seat skins which isn't cheap or reasonable or as easy to source as compared to other junkyard car parts.

If the electric part of the vehicle becomes problematic it will need immediate attention and is very costly. In addition, the improvement in FUEL economy really isn't all that impressive.

As for reliability, if it gets me to 200,000 miles, (my previous Accord hits 307,000 miles and my previous Camry did 296,000 and my previous Corolla did 325,000 miles), then I will be satisfied. @@johnde2754

My daughter just bought the Lexus ES 350. She saved her money for a year and got a 2013 with 158,000 for $9,800. Brand new this car was 36,000. 11 years old lost $26,000 in value down to $10,000 basically. So in theory because these engines are known to go 400,000 miles plus she can get 259,000 plus for 10k. You can’t beat that deal mile to dollar for cost at this stage of the cars life. Save 10k buy this car or that Avalon or Rav or even the Highlander. This is the motor they all have. Toyota accidentally made another one you can’t kill.

@@danielboston8806 its still doing well but initially she thought it had a clear title. After buying it she saw it did have a salvage title. So I believe that’s definitely the reason the price was lower. Also the transmission after she bought it seemed to have a slight hop or studded at a certain speed. She took it to Toyota to have it looked at and they told her it was the rim and tires. The tires were a week old and the rim looked fine. So she took it to another shop and they serviced the fluid in the transmission and the studder went away. I really just believe any Toyota or Lexus with the V-6 from 06-14 were the best engines Toyota ever made. Rav 4s Sienna vans, Avalons and ES350s all have that engine

If you look in the back of your owners manual, all of the maintenance schedules are in there. Keep fluids (transmission, coolant, oil) and filters (oil, air and cabin air filters) up to date. I change my oil and oil filter every 4500 miles with Mobil 1 0w20 full synthetic. Also, get an oil spray undercoating every 1-2 years if you live somewhere that salts the roads and then just drive it!

But I can help point you in the right direction, Chris Naugle & Wealth Without Wallstreet are two great resources to check out. These guys have no idea who I am I just like learning from them.
