If you buy new then you normally have at least a 3 year 36K bumper to bumper warranty and most powertrains are 75K -100K, so ******/motor is covered. You shouldn't be 40K in a hole and thats even if you bought the car used without a warranty, you're still covered through the powertrain warranty. The car will most of the time be 5-6 years or older before the powertrain goes, which means no engine coverage.Yeah, what happens if you buy a brand new lex for 30k and then the ****** or engine blows up or some bullshit, then you're like 40k in the hole plus you have to deal with selling it and losing money and all that bullshit.
If it was my ONLY vehicle I would buy it, but as a second, I feel more comfortable leasing I think.
I was actually looking at the IS250/350 AWDs but lexus always wants a hella big deposit up front
I thought you were talking normal maintenance repairs. My Enclave's bumper to bumper warranty is done in about 1500 miles(50K), however if my engine blows I'm still covered till 100K.
