[@geekteach1912]

That's because you SHOULD buy a Lexus! I bought a new one 3 yrs ago and, due to his advice and my experience, will always buy a used Lexus from now on.

[@geekteach1912]

@Todd m I'd never bought a Japanese car before now - only American & German. German cars are fabulous to drive, but they're bottomless pits when it comes to maintenance. My previous car was a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I loved it, but it has since become 6a "luxury SUV". For what it would've cost me to replace it, I could get a fully loaded Lexus RX 450h... so I did. I'm spoiled now! I'll probably never buy a new one again (per Scotty's advice), but I'm sold on Lexus. When I go to a Lexus dealership for service, I'm treated like royalty. In my 45 yrs of car ownership, no other dealership has ever treated me so amazingly well. I'm a Lexus owner for life!

Preach it, Brother Scotty. As an owner of BMWs for several years prior to buying my '13 GS 350 (yes, it has the ugly grille, but not so glaringly bad as later models), I can say without a doubt that the GS is equal or better in most significant ways to a non-M Bimmer with WAY less anxiety-inducing dashboard lights coming on ... none have ever come on in the GS, in fact. Lexus truly makes outstanding cars.

Hey Scotty, don't take this personally but one of the reasons why Lexus went to the new grills is because of people in your age category. The brand was getting the reputation as an old man car. Lexus did the new grills to attract younger buyers. Lexus DID NOT want to end up like Buick and Volvo. Two car brands now known as old people cars.

Seriously though. Most major thing I've done to it is flush the fuel system and have the entire timing belt system replaced just recently. Mechanic said the belt was original. Even the rubber components are top quality. Besides that just a tune up when I bought it 4 years ago and rotors shortly after that. She's definitely a cheap date..
