I am surprised there are no lexus cars. Those things last forever.
- IndrekR 8y agoLess of them around? Lexus is Toyota.
- chiph 8y agoMy GX is 15 years old. I had to repair some of the things the previous owner left broken, or had repaired badly. But so far there have been only a few age-related items needing work, like the radiator. Everything else has been just fluid changes and normal wear parts. It also helps that it's a California/Texas/Carolinas vehicle, with no rust.
- TheCoelacanth 8y agoProbably not with the same owner, though. People who buy a new luxury car are probably going to buy another new luxury car before they make it to 15 years no matter how well the old one still runs.
- giancarlostoro 8y agoI was wondering the same, but I think they probably upgrade after a while. They do get nicer and nicer over the years. I have a Toyota Venza and my next car will likely be the RX, or a Toyota Highlander, though I am leaning more towards the Lexus model. I would keep my Venza but I rather give it to my parents who need it more when I make my switch. I will probably keep the RX as long as possible, unless a reasonable upgrade entices me in the future (all electric / self-driving that doesn't scare me).
- segmondy 8y agoLexus is pretty much Toyota.
- samfisher83 8y agoThe lexus brand has a higher quality standard. Toyota is already good, but they do additional checks for lexus. For example they CAT scan the motor for any imperfections. https://blog.lexus.co.uk/7-engineering-and-production-techniques-that-make-a-lexus-a-lexus/ https://blog.lexus.co.uk/7-engineering-and-production-techni...
- dragonwriter 8y agoLuxury brands are very likely to have first owners that turn over new cars rapidly regardless of how well they hold up.
