@@Miko3IS I don’t have any accident OR speeding ticket on my record either and I’m 42 years old. I pay $200 a month for my 2018 Lexus IS AWD FSPORT. The car costs a lot to maintain, I agree, but Lexus charges me $109 for oil change. The car eats brake pads like crazy and tires. I’m from NY.

Of course it's worth it. Like my LC, as with the other Lexus' we own, the maintenance is minimal. But as with most cars, take care of it - and it will take care of you.
Sounds like a horror story. I have a 2020 RC 350 F-sport, and after almost 55,000 miles, I am still on the original front tires and rear brakes, the front brakes lasted until 46,000 miles and the front rotors were not warped and did not need replacement, front brake pads were switched out for Akebono brakes which are excellent and minimal brake dust. I frequently get 32-33 MPG on the freeway and at the very worst, get a minimum of 325 miles on a tank of gas doing 90% + around town driving. Costs are higher compared to several years ago for all car maintenance, but your costs appear extreme, IMO. Insurance here in California is somewhat similar, and the car was initially bought new, my payments are more expensive. Overall in almost 4 years of maintenance not including gas or insurance, but including new front brakes, rear tires, and basic yearly maintenance, the car so far has been costing me less than $500 a year. New front tires will be in several months or so. I can only speak for myself, but you appear to be as noted, somewhat at the top limits of normal or worse in the manner you drive your car, and your yearly maintenance and costs appear to reflect this assumption. Good luck on your next vehicle. Burn rubber, brake hard = $$$$.
@@Miko3IS btw thanks for your video and being honest about the mpg. I was thinking of getting one to get a more fuel efficient sporty car. Since i daily drive a 4th gen camaro (v8😟). But guess ill go with a corolla hybrid instead. Cant have 2 gas guzzlers.
@@Miko3IS oil change should be done twice per year. Lexus charges $109 for an oil change and Toyota charges $120. I find it strange Toyota charges more.
i think you're driving your is350 really aggressively, my 23' IS 500, I fill about 3x month, driving about 1k miles, and cost me $55/tank. I'm paying about $160-170 per month for gas
FULL COVERAGE FOR $170 a Month?? I would drop on my knees for that. I’m paying someone’s car payment for my 2017 CT and scared to upgrade to a newer IS because they might justify upping it to $600/month.
Damn brother unless the that price is justify due to driving history and claims id absolutely shop around. That makes me feel like a asshole complaining about 170💀
Hate to break it to everyone, if you are making payments ots not your vehicle. N yes i have a 350 fsport got it brand new payments been over for 3 years.
Dude they're trying to charge me 325 a month clean driving record since 2014 till now and I have a work van so I wouldn't drive it alot I told them that and they still wanna charge 325 for a new one I'm 28 aswell
I got my 24 Is350 n bouta pay $400 close to $500 for insurance. Definitely cause of my 2 speeding tickets n swerving lil crash driving record 😂 Plus I’m 21.
Ye its crazy how bad it is on gas, Im always finding myself at the pump every few days.. And crazy haha all the maintenance items listed i've had to do most of 😂 (Im on conti-super sports WS06 all seasons btw)
lol I love when people say they got a good interest rate of 2.9% instead of just saying 3%, my interest rate for my 2020 F150 I bought in 2020 is 0% for the life of the loan at 54k.
@@Miko3IS You seem like the type who measures their height in ego, not inches. Dropping $36,500 on a car that's nearly a decade old when you could get a brand new one for $44k just proves how bad you are with numbers-and decisions. Being 6'7" doesn’t change the fact that waking up as you every day is still the biggest joke.
@@Knowledgeabletuber You sound like an absolute idiot. You mention ego meanwhile you’re commenting about your interest rate on a f-150 on a video about a lexus when nobody asked you or gives a f**k about your interest rate. I bought the car in 2021 when it was only 4 years old and got a great interest rate given they were around 5% at the time. You on the other hand were so fixated on getting ”0% interest” that you forgot about the 10% of value you lose on your brand new car simply driving off the lot and on top of that the 30% you lose just the first year of ownership. I gaurentee youve lost more money in depreciation then Ive spent on interest + depreciation. Enjoy your brand new truck thats barely worth half of what you paid 4 years ago while i enjoy my ”decade” old car
@@Miko3ISI hope you flush the transmission before 100K miles. I did mine at 67k miles and the car feels super new and responsive since. You don’t want a flush at a high mileage. So get it done asap.
Imagine being so deep in debt just to flex a car that’s losing value every time it touches the road. Dropping nearly $16K a year to impress people who probably don’t care is like lighting your wallet on fire and watching the flames burn your paycheck away-an expensive illusion of success. But hey, I guess when your financial literacy taps out before middle school, a car payment becomes the closest thing to a diploma. Here’s a tip for the broke boys: stay in school, maybe learn how compound interest works, and stop pretending that luxury means financial freedom. Because right now, every time you turn that key, you're burning cash faster than your gas tank drains!
@@Knowledgeabletuber I guess the other comments got you triggered lol. Goodluck with your brand new truck thats worth half what you paid when you got it and dont forget to stay tuned for the next video.

@@Miko3IS It's clear you don’t understand the value difference between trucks and cars, but that’s expected from someone who talked their dad into buying them a 10-year-old Lexus for the price of a brand-new one. When your credit score is in the gutter, I guess you have to settle for whatever scraps you can get, but let’s face it-at a 3% interest rate, you basically paid $40k for a car with built-in problems. You're the perfect example of someone who doesn’t just make bad decisions, you embody what it means to throw money away. Congratulations on being a walking financial disaster
@@Knowledgeabletuber You sound like an moron once again. You have the most common car in america that holds no value.

I paid $36500 out the door INCLUDING interest with no problems, its a specialty toyota you cant get more reliable than this 😭.You keep saying 10 year old but when I purchased was 4 years old and I paid 4k under the value. Not gonna keep going back and forth with you after addressing every false claim you made. Go buy new trucks and make the dealers happy for your business

I really like these cars. But 250 miles average per tank, you have a 17 gallon tank... ... that is insane. That's worse than my Tundra.
Yup it is absolutely insane. I do push it but more than half the time I drive its just cruising
Damm thats about what i get with my 2013 chevy traverse. 🤔
It’s because it’s NA no turbo it’s a POS
