Trade in RAV4 for Lexus NX

[Anonymous]

Hi there - looking for advice. I have a 2015 Toyota RAV4 limited (nice rims, leather interior, heated seats, back up cam, remote start etc) that has 65k miles. For my next car, I would like to upgrade to a Lexus NX because I keep my cars for a long time, so I value the comfort of a more luxurious interior, finishes, etc. However, I am on a bit of a budget, so I am thinking it would make sense to trade in the RAV now while I can still get a decent amount for trade in, and get a preowned NX with 20-30k miles. My alternative would be to keep driving the RAV and save more cash, but then I would have to put money into maintenance on the RAV and the more miles, the less I would get at trade in. Thoughts?

Easy one - keep on driving RAV4.

The NX and the RAV4 limited are pretty much the same car. It’s a lot of money just to get fake wood trim.

I would be hoping to get 18-20k for the RAV.

Wait until you can afford a 2022+ NX. The redesigned version is much better than the old ones.

OP you do not want an NX year before 2022.

They upgraded pretty much everything.

Especially the safety items.
