To answer this question, I'm not that old yet. 20 years is an estimate. My E46 is now 22, but I've never owned a Lexus so not sure if this truly is all the hype and will go the distance. If it turns out to be anything close to the brand's reputation, you can bet I'll drive this until the...
On the subject of "Lexus demographic", I don't think you'll find a certain characteristic that isolates it to be Lexus. Enthusiasts buy all brands. I've hopped across brands, platforms, and it's more generational in that the newely-released plaforms tend to have less technically-informed...
I'm diving into this convo. You won me over with the '04 Disco. Paint is paint, and there are very good paint processes and shops now that can restore a hood and bumper to levels where you wouldn't even know it was painted. So in 20 years, I will probably just repaint it rather than putting a...
Lol. You don't know what you speak of.

All my cars are maintained in the same manner. I doubt you have anything that's gotten to 16 years and 240k miles that looks even half as nice as that. I'd love for you to prove me wrong.
But if you need to...
That's ok. You do you. I will use it, enjoy it, drive it into the ground over the next 20 years and move on when it starts looking ugly.
We may just look at it differently, as I don't see this vehicle as an investment.
Respectfully, I don’t see it that way. I don’t use phone cases, I don’t apply screen protectors, I don’t wrap my couch in plastic and I don’t wrap my leather seats in seat covers. I like enjoying it as designed.
And when it wears out in due time, I’ll get it repaired, or get another.
Allocations for the Premium Plus are starting to come into the dealership mentioned in this thread (Lexus Pleasanton Nor Cal). My guy is sending me the ones closest to my choices, so I'll post the ones I say no to here. If it's what you want, I'm sure they wouldn't say no to you if you walked...
Thanks. I agree that can use some work. But it appears that’s just an injection-molded part, so an aftermarket solution won’t be too far behind.
No clue on the gas recommendation. I was so excited to drive and sign some papers that I forgot to look. But super happy MSRP dealers are still...
Lol we drove the very same truck today. I had an 11am appointment, and there were already a few before me. Agreed, it was great, put my deposit down and they said 4-6 months is realistic (PP+ with captain's chairs). I had a similar wait for my BRZ, so no stranger to waiting.
Haven't...
