My wife wants to buy him a 2019 Lexus SUV NX300 model but I want to buy him a Tesla Model 3. My wife thinks Lexus brand is much more reliable than Tesla. Thoughts?


He must be really ugly if he needs a 2019 Lexus to score

You are shortchanging him by not letting him live in the dorms. Spend more on experiences and less on things.

Porsche or the new Corvette would be more fitting for a young man.


OP here. He didn't start driving until three months ago. He is living @home instead of the dorm due to medical issues. No, we're not rich. We live very comfortable but definitely not rich.


If you are very comfortable, let him drive a bunch of cars for $20-30K and let him decide. How is this even a question? You really need to crowd source what to buy. What does he want? Start there.


OP - He drives my wife 2018 Lexus IS350 and loves it. He also tests drive the model 3 and also loves it as well.

Lol. Get him a bicycle. Better yet, let him buy a bicycle.

We're a year away - probably a 10 year old Japanese hatchback.
