[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not saying new, but probably something 4-5 years old - think Lexus ES or GS sedan.  I'm pretty frugal all-around and my last cars have been reflective of that, i.e., Camry, CR-V, Corolla, etc., all of which I drive into the ground.  I'm now late 40s and feeling like I want a car that's more luxurious and fun to drive!  Plus, I know that I'll have the car for the next 5-8 years, and feel like there are only so many cars in my future at this point.  I hope I do it, but will probably end up with another Camry or Accord, lol.  Just sharing, thanks.[/quote]

I apologize in advance as I am a car guy. I cannot fathom how anyone can feel the sense of desire you appear to have for a 5 year old Lexus ES or GS. It's not even like the guilty pleasure of eating leftover pizza. It's like a can of LaCroix that's been left open for a few hours and has gone flat. Upon discovery, you may drink it if you are particularly thirsty, but to desire it?

And yes, Lexus is the LaCroix of luxury cars, and within the Lexus lineup, the ES GS are the least sporty/fun. And like LaCroix, people seem to be willing to pay an absurd amount of money for this level of blandness. No one will look at you driving a Lexus and think "now there's a guy that's enjoying the finer things in life and having a blast."

If you want to have some fun, go get a Civic Si. It will be fun to drive, reliable, and will hold its value well if you do decide to sell it after a few years. If you don't know how to drive a manual, well it's a perfect time to start. Add some spice and variety into your life. Go on an adventure. Buy a helmet and compete in some weekend autocross races. Other fun-yet-frugal cars: Mazda 3, Golf GTI, Mini Cooper.

Heck, go buy a Jeep Wrangler - many many many times more interesting than a Lexus. Do something exciting for a change.
