That might be true...I had a 2006 LexusGS(in mint condition) before all the technology and even more safety features...it only had 26,000 miles on it but we decided it was time to trade it in..in July... before it became worthless and purchase a new SUV. I decided on the Lincoln MKX Black Label and I am a happy camper. Drives like a dream, safety galore, lane assist, camera's and a banging REVEL 19 speaker sound system. None of which I had in my beloved Lexus. Sometimes it is just time.


My neighbor has that @croemer and I rode in it, I really love that car.

Really? How cool! I love Lexus have owned 4 and never thought I would leave...but just not thrilled with the looks of the new RX and find myself loving the MKX...we love to just take a ride in it and listen to the music and enjoy the wonderful soft ride.

 

How are you Irsh...missed talking to you?

I'd only lease if I could claim it as a tax deduction.

Re: Renting Or Buying A New Car

I buy my cars. I did look into leasing a few years ago but I put too many miles on my cars to make it a realistic option.

I bought a new car two years ago.  Ours had been stolen, I didn't wait, just got a new one.  The police found the old one that DH had loved a few days later. The thieves had done quite a bit of damage so we got rid of it.

 

Got a call last night from close friends who had just gone out and bought a new Honda Civic.  They love it.


 

@Noel7 - Did your friends get the 2016 Civic? I love how they changed it for the 10th generation! Which model/trim did they get?  

 

lol... I'm window shopping right now & expect to buy a new car next year. It is fun at this point & my favorite changes often!
