Instead of carrying out your anger pointlessly on a title, pay attention to what I’m actually saying first. I’m trying to get across that it’s better IF you’re trying to purchase this car brand new, instead of CPO, to lease it then buy it off lease, OR, purchase it used. You’ll save way more money.

You can easily find a one year leased RCF or GSF for hella cheap. They depreciate but Lexus depreciation really tanks only in the first year then it's gradual and steady for the F models. A 2016 RCF is around 44k-48k, a 2016 M4 is 40k-44k with a diff in msrp being 3-4k more for the M4. Sheesh. You'll find more off leased F80/82's than GSF's or RCF's as well, but the depreciation is a yikes.

zorkman111 glad u can fix your own car. Most people dont know how. Its a money pit. Smart people will never buy these overpriced pos euro cars. They lease them.
It is never best to lease a car, especially for a car that holds its value like Lexus cars do. Lease X2 and you're left with $0 on returning the car, buy it and after payments you can sell it for $20k or more. Keep it another 3 more years and that's $0
I had a 06 GS300 and after that LS460. LS460 was more comfortable but GS was the absolute best combination of comfort and sport. I enjoyed driving the GS more and never complained about it not being comfortable enough. GS is extremely comfortable and the LS just feels like you’re floating. I’m probably going to switch back to a 07-12 GS.

My lease on the RX is up in a few months. I will be buying a used GS. A terrific car and a great price. I''m the keep the car for 10 years type of guy.
@@cottagegymfun Well the LS is not anywhere near the other two in terms of class. The ES is front wheel drive, so if you care for driving dynamics then that's not it. The GS and the LS are separated by at least an entire class of car, but there's no doubt that the LS has the newest Lexus interior. Really it's up to you, do you want a sportier car or a gentle cruiser? You could get a GS-F if you want a sports car, or the GS 350 F-Sport so you can save some money, and still have a sportier oriented car. In my opinion, the LS with the F-Sport package looks the best, and also the 3.5TT engine is very torquey and has a good amount of power. At the end of the day, all of their calls are very great to lease.
5:36 what is your math here? It is 1 grand cheaper just to buy it, and you might as well get it used for 18k and it having 50k miles since it probably will last 400k miles... Yes, I know about acquisition fees and such, but the once you lease it for 4 years, the price you suddenly buy it for would be, like I said, 18k. So 52,565 + 18k . You are then paying 70565 for something you could have bought new at 51k.... And yes, go on Craigslist CarGurus, LetGo, or just whatever you use, and go look at the prices of a 2014 Lexus Gs 350 which has alost all the features of a new one, and you tell me the price. Leasing it and buying it later just does not make since. 🤦♂️
Says who? Lexus yes you should buy worth every penny, if you just trying to get views make video with same headline on maybe gm lincoln dodge or some other american unreliable crap
You should never be the original purchaser of any luxury car. You always lose. I’ve even purchased cars for below invoice. I did lease one of my Benzs and then buy it after the lease was up. I would do that again. My next car will likely be a Lexus.
I leased a 2017 GS 350 F Sport and I got it out the door at $48,000 from the initial $60,300. 0 down, 3 year lease and 15k miles yearly @ $698/month. Problem is, if you get rim and tire protection, add the full coverage insurance (mandatory with leases!) and gas money, you are easily at $1000/month. Insurance for my GS was $212. I don’t think leasing is a good idea either, considering you can get a 2-3 year old GS with 40,000 miles at around $25-36000. Just buy it cash when you can afford it used or take a 0% APR loan from somewhere for 60 months and pay it off until it’s yours. The engines should easily run to 500k miles so if you don’t need a new car every 5 years, this car will be there for you for 15-20 years.
I guess he is assuming that some folk must get a new car and in that context, his rationale is pretty solid for the lease. I just sold my 2000 GS300 with 236 kms for an immaculate '05 GS300 with only 112k's (~67,000 miles). Looks awesome in black drives like new, has the gorgeous 18" alloys from the GS430 and everything works perfectly; I expect it will sail through 20 yrs of age without major issues.
The off-msrp was solid, but you're paying for that 15k/yr in that 698. He's going with a 10k/yr lease example payment. I imagine that isn't too much driving in Boston, which is pretty much the opposite of what I experience here in OK, save for Bostonians hitting Rhode Island because 'The Island' ::sucks:: What he was getting at is that built into the lease > purchase for a GS (which some yobo previously doesn't understand), is that the 3500 you get in the lease deal carries over into your potential purchase post-lease. If you just straight up purchase at the beginning then you don't get that extra 3500 and you're still doing the same thing, taking possession of the vehicle until it's paid off, traded in, sold, etc...It's like a Back Door Roth IRA: You put stuff into a 401(k), but then roll it over into a Roth because you're getting some more incentives with the 401(k) that you'd otherwise never see in the typical execution of a Roth. It's okay Ari, some people can't math, and that's how you make money.
Why did you completely neglect the fact that at the end of the 5 years, you get to keep the car and have no payments whereas in 6 years of leasing, you basically spent the same amount and ended up with no car? The cash leaving your pocket and the assets acquired both need to be taken into account. A 5-6 year old GS 350 is still worth $20,000 or so. In a lease, you wouldn't have that $20,000 towards your next vehicle. Or you could just drive it payment free.
I would rather buy a LEXUS over a BMW, Mercedes. I dont want to be stranded on the side of the road middle of a cold night and not able to drive it since its inside a garage getting fixed.
Bought a 2015 Lexus GS 350 F Sport AWD for 30k with 19k miles and I absolutely love this purchase. The car is amazing and I will one day pass it down to my kid.
Spoken like a true car salesman. That being said, do 180 degrees the opposite of what this guy just said if your a looking for a car. He reminds me of why I will NEVER set foot onto a car lot ever.
I own 2016 gs 350 f sport 4 years I had no issues just oil change and go keep your BMW and keep repairing and spend your money and life at the michanic garage Good luck
After owned BMW and Lexus, I never ever will go back to BMW again, pure junk indeed, especially after 50000 miles. Of course Lexus, always the best, and will stay the best, hands down to shitty BMW. .
Glad I waited until the end, good video outside of the clout begging at the beginning. Heavily subsidized leases are the standard operating practice in the luxury car industry. Just be careful with the miles. I drive 20k miles a year so if I leased I'd negotiate miles up front
Buying a car = 60 months = higher monthly payment... Leasing a car = 3 years > then purchasing the same car on 5yr loan = 8 years of payments = lower monthly payments... Amount paid over the course of these two different purchasing methods - IS THE SAME ... therefore, there is no "saving" but ultimate decision, do you like to pay more, pay off early and drive and maintain car for longer term... OR do you want to lease and have option to "get out of it" ... At the end - you will return lease, and throw close to 20-25k out of the window, and dive right into another lease... in my experience those are the facts, because who is determined to keep the car, they do not lease it they buy it... whoever leases the car, they lease it, return it and move onto another better model, newer model, etc.
I have a white on red 2016 GS350 F-Sport that I bought used back in June 2020 with 41k miles for $31k after taxes (Original MSRP $58k) now with 67k miles & has been an absolutely incredible car that I'm planning on keeping for a very long time. I love it now more than ever & I would buy the same car again as of now & I'll probably be saying the same thing five years from now. It's that good.
Wow. All these thumbs down, and I literally learned how to spend less money, to BUY the same car, and folks didn't even take the time to hear you out! This is why, we can't have nice things folks. 😑
Granted I didn't watch but I've owned 2 GS (06/13) over the last 9 years and have only had an ac compressor go up on me out of the ordinary. Best 2 reliable cars I've owned.
You will pay the doc fee if you purchase it from the dealer. You can avoid this by paying off the balance using a check from your bank/loan company. The fees your paying for registration, that’s true. You’ll have to register it again, and pay tax on the remainder portion you weren’t taxed on originally.
Ari, please give me an update on this car with the current offer, I need to do this ASAP, since I’m planning to do this next week. Thank you in advance. 🙏
lexus performance cars are the ones to purchase and own. what i would lease are, amg's and porsches, as they are the ones i am currently considering. wouldn't even consider bmw's or audis...
You pulled an M. Night Shamalamma with the title, cause I was like, wtf is wrong with a GS?? That aside, the info you presented was rock solid and easily understandable. As I get older, I am finding it hard to rationalize buying ANY make/model brand new; the depreciation factor is patently absurd.
I just buy used. You can buy a lexus at 100k-150k miles cars for around $15k and they drive perfect. Buy them and drive them till they die. Let's say they fail at around 300k miles. So you pay $15k for a 150 k miles. That cost you $0.1 /mile maximum when you buy it used. When you lease, you pay $0.65 / mile. That's at least 558% more expensive. This is conservative numbers. Leasing a lexus could be 10x more expensive than buying used.
I would never ever ever ever buy a BMW over a Lexus. I respect your opinion. But when a car companies flag ship car is junk. It's over for that company. BMWs suck terribly the 2006 745 was a key moment in seeing BMWs went down hill in reliability. I was thinking about a M6. And found out about the major issues they have. Unless I was leasing I'll never have a BMW. Now buy a Lexus cash money with 120 thousand miles and have it looked at. And not worry about a single thing knowing that car can get 2 400 thousands miles if i take good care of it.
Or just purchase one a few years old with 17k miles for $28,000 like i did in mint condition... lmao ..... the car is amazing, parts are relatively inexpensive compared to it German counter parts . and being a do it your self kind of guy , maintaining the car is simple!
For a second I thought this guy must be a freaking idiot to say never buy a GS 350 Lexus but then opens up about a BMW. You sure got me with the title. Either way, I understand why you say that but should clearly indicate in the title that one should LEASE and NOT PURCHASE the car. The small little #leaseit was whatever. Anyway, decent video but don't click bait on a Lexus brand bro. Nothing beats a Lexus in reliability and resale in the luxury segment. Put some respect on it! Lol
I would buy my GS350 F-Sport over and over and over and over again. BMW, Audi, and Mercedes are for people who want to LOOK rich…Lexus is for people who want to STAY rich.
I hate to correct but the LS400 was the 1st Lexus in America .A V8 and you can stack champagne glasses on the hood and they won’t fall even past 120mph. ( check the commercial)- GS300 was the OG of the GS family the 350 pretty much came last- 400 and 460 are the only good ones
BMW.. hahahaha. You clearly have never owned one. Want to turn $90,000 into $12,000, buy a BMW and wait 2 years... lol... What the difference between a BMW and a porcupine? The BMW, the prick is on the inside.
The specifications for the tightness of the body panels on my Lexus are approximately 1/8", visually "tighter" than many other cars. BMW and Mercedes will always be trying to best Lexus. I didn't watch this guy's video. If he said I should never purchase any car new I would agree with him. My Lexus sold for $55 grand 5 years ago but I got it for 18 grand at 72k. Seems reliability is a big issue with people. I personally enjoy maintaining the cars that I own. Leasing companies are in the business of making money. They skim money off your life while you use the car. This is why I choose to own over leasing.
It might be different for others but leasing at 10k miles a year is soooo crippling, this car is meant to be driven hard and has the reliability to do so... I’d say the average person would go well over 10k, maybe closer to 20k. But that’s just my opinion. Once you renegotiate lease prices for 15-20k miles a year, that $3500 difference you mentioned goes out the window. Most people purchase this car because they want the luxury and sportiness of an m car while still having the reliability of a Toyota and are comfortable with paying a little more to get that
I own a 2017 Lexus GS 350! It is the most reliable car I’ve ever purchased! This video is nonsense! Buy a BMW and fix it every other week 🤣 Lexus all day! Bean Town in the house! Get outta with this nonsense!
Buy a Lexus lease an European car . The end . Lexus cars will last you a very long time . European cars not so much . After 50k you gonna service that a lot 😊
Very interesting. Personally for myself I will never lease or buy a new car but probably a used gs350 gotta love some of the hating comments by the title. Only reason I would buy used is because I am a finance/car enthusiast guy. Doesn’t go together but oh well 🤷♂️
Whelp...I own a GX, Gs fsport, and a ES-h....among a GT 5 series, and this info is abt 10 years to old. Truth is, it’s better to buy 3/4 years used, vs leasing a new car or buying new. DUH!...especially since they are the most reliable in their class, and u will own it, AND!...only thing that will force I to get rid of it is to get a newer body style, AND!...they don’t change much. Scrap this old school info.
Owning a BMW will always be an adventure (mostly at the auto shop). If buying used, you're better off with a Lexus GS despite not being sporty enough but that's okay
And i purchased my 2016 lexus gs350 used with 25k miles for $26.5k. If you look hard enough youll find one. Just gotta be patient and never purchase a car out of”spurr of the moment”. P.s i also purchased at a honda dealership.
So you would lease a inexpensive to maintain and it will last for your whole life. So what should we buy huh? A fucking Mercedes or BMW. SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD BUT INSTEAD.

At the end of the day, all of their calls are very great to lease.
Just got my gs . Cabernet interior . Gonna be in the family for generations
5:36 what is your math here? It is 1 grand cheaper just to buy it, and you might as well get it used for 18k and it having 50k miles since it probably will last 400k miles... Yes, I know about acquisition fees and such, but the once you lease it for 4 years, the price you suddenly buy it for would be, like I said, 18k. So 52,565 + 18k . You are then paying 70565 for something you could have bought new at 51k.... And yes, go on Craigslist CarGurus, LetGo, or just whatever you use, and go look at the prices of a 2014 Lexus Gs 350 which has alost all the features of a new one, and you tell me the price. Leasing it and buying it later just does not make since. 🤦♂️
Says who? Lexus yes you should buy worth every penny, if you just trying to get views make video with same headline on maybe gm lincoln dodge or some other american unreliable crap
Toyota(lexus) will last longer, more reliable than any BMW you'll find my friend. Save your breath! Lol
You should never be the original purchaser of any luxury car. You always lose. I’ve even purchased cars for below invoice. I did lease one of my Benzs and then buy it after the lease was up. I would do that again. My next car will likely be a Lexus.
You are blowing figures.. The question is engine and reliablity. And the car is perfect. TF you saying?
I leased a 2017 GS 350 F Sport and I got it out the door at $48,000 from the initial $60,300. 0 down, 3 year lease and 15k miles yearly @ $698/month. Problem is, if you get rim and tire protection, add the full coverage insurance (mandatory with leases!) and gas money, you are easily at $1000/month. Insurance for my GS was $212. I don’t think leasing is a good idea either, considering you can get a 2-3 year old GS with 40,000 miles at around $25-36000. Just buy it cash when you can afford it used or take a 0% APR loan from somewhere for 60 months and pay it off until it’s yours. The engines should easily run to 500k miles so if you don’t need a new car every 5 years, this car will be there for you for 15-20 years.
I guess he is assuming that some folk must get a new car and in that context, his rationale is pretty solid for the lease. I just sold my 2000 GS300 with 236 kms for an immaculate '05 GS300 with only 112k's (~67,000 miles). Looks awesome in black drives like new, has the gorgeous 18" alloys from the GS430 and everything works perfectly; I expect it will sail through 20 yrs of age without major issues.
The off-msrp was solid, but you're paying for that 15k/yr in that 698. He's going with a 10k/yr lease example payment. I imagine that isn't too much driving in Boston, which is pretty much the opposite of what I experience here in OK, save for Bostonians hitting Rhode Island because 'The Island' ::sucks::
What he was getting at is that built into the lease > purchase for a GS (which some yobo previously doesn't understand), is that the 3500 you get in the lease deal carries over into your potential purchase post-lease. If you just straight up purchase at the beginning then you don't get that extra 3500 and you're still doing the same thing, taking possession of the vehicle until it's paid off, traded in, sold, etc...It's like a Back Door Roth IRA: You put stuff into a 401(k), but then roll it over into a Roth because you're getting some more incentives with the 401(k) that you'd otherwise never see in the typical execution of a Roth.
It's okay Ari, some people can't math, and that's how you make money.
Hugfest...Wow, how can you negotiate more than 20% off the MSRP? Most of us got 11% and dealer wouldn't go down further.
Why did you completely neglect the fact that at the end of the 5 years, you get to keep the car and have no payments whereas in 6 years of leasing, you basically spent the same amount and ended up with no car? The cash leaving your pocket and the assets acquired both need to be taken into account. A 5-6 year old GS 350 is still worth $20,000 or so. In a lease, you wouldn't have that $20,000 towards your next vehicle. Or you could just drive it payment free.
I would rather buy a LEXUS over a BMW, Mercedes. I dont want to be stranded on the side of the road middle of a cold night and not able to drive it since its inside a garage getting fixed.
Lease German, buy Japanese... anyone who tells u otherwise wants to service your car
He isn't talking about the car at all just the lease prices. Interesting video and title man
Bought a 2015 Lexus GS 350 F Sport AWD for 30k with 19k miles and I absolutely love this purchase. The car is amazing and I will one day pass it down to my kid.
Have your thoughts changed any or do you still love it?
yeah, do you still have it?
You buy Lexus and lease BMW and Mercedes
Tell them again
Spoken like a true car salesman. That being said, do 180 degrees the opposite of what this guy just said if your a looking for a car. He reminds me of why I will NEVER set foot onto a car lot ever.
If you don't mind me asking, how do you buy a car?
Purchasing a 2016 gs350 f CPO with one owner low mileage. I think the price point is much better now.
i own a 08 gs350 with 150k miles and i love it
U dont kno wat u talkin about ! Gs350 best car i ever bought
I own 2016 gs 350 f sport 4 years I had no issues just oil change and go keep your BMW and keep repairing and spend your money and life at the michanic garage Good luck
Mr M M did you buy it with a warranty and how many miles?
Skip to the 2 minutes mark for the meat of the video, everything prior to this is talk, talk talk.
I have a 2009 Lexus GS 350 with 392,000 miles.
After owned BMW and Lexus, I never ever will go back to BMW again, pure junk indeed, especially after 50000 miles.
Of course Lexus, always the best, and will stay the best, hands down to shitty BMW.
.
Hyundai genesis smokes lexus in reliability, price, and luxury.
Tyrone Watermelon
Smoke Lexus, haha haha, sorry no car makers have ever existed and will not in the future !!
As soon as you said bmw was the best car you lost me
Glad I waited until the end, good video outside of the clout begging at the beginning.
Heavily subsidized leases are the standard operating practice in the luxury car industry. Just be careful with the miles. I drive 20k miles a year so if I leased I'd negotiate miles up front
this video aged like dogshit LOL
Buying a car = 60 months = higher monthly payment...
Leasing a car = 3 years > then purchasing the same car on 5yr loan = 8 years of payments = lower monthly payments...
Amount paid over the course of these two different purchasing methods - IS THE SAME ... therefore, there is no "saving" but ultimate decision, do you like to pay more, pay off early and drive and maintain car for longer term... OR do you want to lease and have option to "get out of it" ...
At the end - you will return lease, and throw close to 20-25k out of the window, and dive right into another lease... in my experience those are the facts, because who is determined to keep the car, they do not lease it they buy it... whoever leases the car, they lease it, return it and move onto another better model, newer model, etc.
I have a white on red 2016 GS350 F-Sport that I bought used back in June 2020 with 41k miles for $31k after taxes (Original MSRP $58k) now with 67k miles & has been an absolutely incredible car that I'm planning on keeping for a very long time. I love it now more than ever & I would buy the same car again as of now & I'll probably be saying the same thing five years from now. It's that good.
Wow. All these thumbs down, and I literally learned how to spend less money, to BUY the same car, and folks didn't even take the time to hear you out!
This is why, we can't have nice things folks. 😑
This video aged like milk lol
Lexus vehicles are the BEST they last you for life
i agree
Granted I didn't watch but I've owned 2 GS (06/13) over the last 9 years and have only had an ac compressor go up on me out of the ordinary. Best 2 reliable cars I've owned.
When you lease, you have to pay insurance in full! But you never mention that!
Gs350 best Lexus made
I ❤ my 2014 GS350 AWD
Lexus ..the darling of the auto world
I bought a used 2015 white gs350 F sport crafted line with every option you can have , and I love it !!!
How many miles and at what price? Looking to purchase the same
29k miles. For 33k
@@alinmatti786 When did you purchase it?
@@d_nguy August of last year
MATTI MATTI is it pretty fast with 306 horsepower or should i go for 311
Mine was and still is the 2004 LS430! To me! Best car ever!
M Ladd what makes it the best ? I heard the parts are super expensive to fix
I had mercede cl63 amg trash motor had a bmw550i plastic parts had a cadillac ct6 transmission problems have a g350 is 500 im so happy
But you will still pay fees and doc fees twice. When you lease and when you buy it at the end of the lease.
You will pay the doc fee if you purchase it from the dealer. You can avoid this by paying off the balance using a check from your bank/loan company.
The fees your paying for registration, that’s true. You’ll have to register it again, and pay tax on the remainder portion you weren’t taxed on originally.
Rather have my gs than a bmw thats always in the shop smh dude is cap
😂😂
I'm old enough to remember my favorite car being the Jaguar E-Type. I actually got to own one.
Me and my GS F Sport dissagree with you
Disagree with what?
You were paid by bmw
Gs is the best he don't know what the hell he's talking about
😂😂
But if you're a real car guy, you can't personalize or mod a lease car
Damn man you talk toooooo much. Get to the point‼️
Just skip ahead...
Ari Janessian Right boss. Because that’s the reason for watching well informative, and good edited videos.
Luxes is the best japan cars never break ..
Ari, please give me an update on this car with the current offer, I need to do this ASAP, since I’m planning to do this next week. Thank you in advance. 🙏
lexus performance cars are the ones to purchase and own. what i would lease are, amg's and porsches, as they are the ones i am currently considering. wouldn't even consider bmw's or audis...
You pulled an M. Night Shamalamma with the title, cause I was like, wtf is wrong with a GS?? That aside, the info you presented was rock solid and easily understandable. As I get older, I am finding it hard to rationalize buying ANY make/model brand new; the depreciation factor is patently absurd.
Thank you Jay ... I completely agree btw
Only car worth buying new has been the Tesla Model 3 because of the tax incentives.
Does anyones burn a lot of gas..does tune up help. Please help gas killing me
I just buy used. You can buy a lexus at 100k-150k miles cars for around $15k and they drive perfect. Buy them and drive them till they die. Let's say they fail at around 300k miles. So you pay $15k for a 150 k miles. That cost you $0.1 /mile maximum when you buy it used. When you lease, you pay $0.65 / mile. That's at least 558% more expensive. This is conservative numbers. Leasing a lexus could be 10x more expensive than buying used.
I would never ever ever ever buy a BMW over a Lexus. I respect your opinion. But when a car companies flag ship car is junk. It's over for that company. BMWs suck terribly the 2006 745 was a key moment in seeing BMWs went down hill in reliability. I was thinking about a M6. And found out about the major issues they have. Unless I was leasing I'll never have a BMW. Now buy a Lexus cash money with 120 thousand miles and have it looked at. And not worry about a single thing knowing that car can get 2 400 thousands miles if i take good care of it.
I found a 2015 for 27k, with 46k miles, F sport, premium package, mark levinson.. is this an okay deal?
No it's not
Or just purchase one a few years old with 17k miles for $28,000 like i did in mint condition... lmao ..... the car is amazing, parts are relatively inexpensive compared to it German counter parts . and being a do it your self kind of guy , maintaining the car is simple!
For a second I thought this guy must be a freaking idiot to say never buy a GS 350 Lexus but then opens up about a BMW. You sure got me with the title. Either way, I understand why you say that but should clearly indicate in the title that one should LEASE and NOT PURCHASE the car. The small little #leaseit was whatever. Anyway, decent video but don't click bait on a Lexus brand bro. Nothing beats a Lexus in reliability and resale in the luxury segment. Put some respect on it! Lol
I'll buy it used with low low mileage and save thousands!!!
exactly my point in the video.. either CPO or lease to purchase to take advantage of the rebates
Lexus is the most reliable cars out there.
kempowarrior, Truth
I would buy my GS350 F-Sport over and over and over and over again. BMW, Audi, and Mercedes are for people who want to LOOK rich…Lexus is for people who want to STAY rich.
I hate to correct but the LS400 was the 1st Lexus in America .A V8 and you can stack champagne glasses on the hood and they won’t fall even past 120mph. ( check the commercial)- GS300 was the OG of the GS family the 350 pretty much came last- 400 and 460 are the only good ones
BMW.. hahahaha. You clearly have never owned one. Want to turn $90,000 into $12,000, buy a BMW and wait 2 years... lol...
What the difference between a BMW and a porcupine? The BMW, the prick is on the inside.
The specifications for the tightness of the body panels on my Lexus are approximately 1/8", visually "tighter" than many other cars. BMW and Mercedes will always be trying to best Lexus. I didn't watch this guy's video. If he said I should never purchase any car new I would agree with him. My Lexus sold for $55 grand 5 years ago but I got it for 18 grand at 72k. Seems reliability is a big issue with people. I personally enjoy maintaining the cars that I own. Leasing companies are in the business of making money. They skim money off your life while you use the car. This is why I choose to own over leasing.
clown
I don't agree with u but go head. This car is only for people that knows Toyota high class.
It might be different for others but leasing at 10k miles a year is soooo crippling, this car is meant to be driven hard and has the reliability to do so... I’d say the average person would go well over 10k, maybe closer to 20k. But that’s just my opinion. Once you renegotiate lease prices for 15-20k miles a year, that $3500 difference you mentioned goes out the window. Most people purchase this car because they want the luxury and sportiness of an m car while still having the reliability of a Toyota and are comfortable with paying a little more to get that
I own a 2017 Lexus GS 350! It is the most reliable car I’ve ever purchased! This video is nonsense! Buy a BMW and fix it every other week 🤣 Lexus all day! Bean Town in the house! Get outta with this nonsense!
Buy a Lexus lease an European car . The end . Lexus cars will last you a very long time . European cars not so much . After 50k you gonna service that a lot 😊
Very interesting. Personally for myself I will never lease or buy a new car but probably a used gs350 gotta love some of the hating comments by the title. Only reason I would buy used is because I am a finance/car enthusiast guy. Doesn’t go together but oh well 🤷♂️
I dont give a shit about new 50k Lexus - Im talking about buying 2008 GS350 used for $8k with 130k miles - that shit will drive another 100k
Whelp...I own a GX, Gs fsport, and a ES-h....among a GT 5 series, and this info is abt 10 years to old. Truth is, it’s better to buy 3/4 years used, vs leasing a new car or buying new. DUH!...especially since they are the most reliable in their class, and u will own it, AND!...only thing that will force I to get rid of it is to get a newer body style, AND!...they don’t change much. Scrap this old school info.
Owning a BMW will always be an adventure (mostly at the auto shop). If buying used, you're better off with a Lexus GS despite not being sporty enough but that's okay
Would definitely buy a GS350 and lease a BMW. After all going to need a reliable car to drive when the M3 blows the rod bearings...
And i purchased my 2016 lexus gs350 used with 25k miles for $26.5k. If you look hard enough youll find one. Just gotta be patient and never purchase a car out of”spurr of the moment”.
P.s i also purchased at a honda dealership.
Seems like Lexus really doesn't want to sell the GS but do Leases on them. I don't see much if any GS350 deals.
I have a 2009 Lexus ISF and I'm about to purchase a Lexus GS 350 F Sport I stand behind Toyota and their reliability
