I don't even think the cheap used cars are a more expensive way to live on average. If you get unlucky or scammed, sure.

- thelastgallon 14d agoNobody is selling you a used Lexus or Toyota or Honda for cheap. It is usually a nondescript brand and model, like a geo metro or a model with known reliability issues.
- hn993302 14d agoAnd nobody is selling a new Toyota for a non-expensive price. The cheapest new cars are brands without reputations.
- prmoustache 14d agoEverything known can be sorted out. Buying a Lexus would be a very stupid idea. You don't buy a luxury/premium model for cheap. Way too much gimmicky stuff/gadgets that can break and parts price are way too high. When you buy sub $2000 car, you look for models that were already in the relatively affordable range and have been best sellers of their category: good knowledge from mechanics, good and affordable spare parts availability.
- quickthrowman 14d agoA Lexus is just a Toyota with nicer materials on the inside. They use Toyota parts that cost Toyota prices, they aren’t out to gouge you on parts like European manufacturers. Sometimes Lexus vehicles are cheaper than a similar Toyota, a Lexus GX460 costs less than a similar vintage Toyota 4Runner or Toyota Landcruiser.
