Luxury features not necessarily luxury brand. A stripped down Q7 is the exact opposite of what I’m looking for… I’d rather have a tricked out Mazda. |

OP - if you want useful replies, you need to define what “luxury” means to you.
Is it a Toyota with all the upgrades or is it the refinement of a bmw/Benz with better driving and materials? You have the option of a real luxury car brand used or a new budget car brand. Easy enough to see your options on the car and driver website. |
| Lexus GX is nice |
Starts at 64k |
| Fully loaded Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy |
| I always found Lexus to have a “luxurious” interior feel |
And I just googled - a Lexus TX is just under $65k! |
Re the Genesis GV80 - it is under 65. Here is a link to purchasing it in Rockville. https://www.fitzmall.com/Inventory/Detail/00013207983/NEW-2024-Genesis-GV80/ |
I purchased my Palisade in Dec 2019. Family who typically get more "prestigious" brands and have ridden in it have been very impressed - and actually put it on the list for their next car. In our house, it replaced a minivan. It is something that I can load a bunch of teens in for carpooling, take co workers out in, drive for a road trip and not worry about who might be getting in next. If I had more budget, I would get the Genesis. After Tiger Wood's accident, I have been a big fan of it. |
I like Lexus, but TX is not so nice. Stick to GX, RX, or LX if you don’t mind used for 65K. |
| who spends this money on a car? does this happen? |
Have you been car shopping lately? Cars are EXPENSIVE now. The same exact car that I bought in 2013 has almost doubled in price since then. |
Nope - Ferrari is still waiting to get that first car off the lot. |
Agree. We are about to buy another fully loaded minivan for under $50k. We shopped around pretty much every other option but all were smaller and/or stupid expensive. People think just because you can afford something that it’s a good value. The two are not the same. We’ve been very happy with our previous minivan and are not status conscious, so another one it is. |
Our X7 was around $100K and there is plenty of room above that. |
