That's partly why we constantly shop around to see if there's anything that we can aspire to (within reason that we can/are willing to afford). We're on our 2nd LS430 and as much as we like them, would be interested in something different/better if we find it. We will NOT buy one of these big depreciators new (just too many better things we can do with our money, even if it's to give it to the needy), so we've driven 2-3 year old examples of the Audi, BMW, MB, and Lexus flagships, and we keep coming back to the LS430 as our favorite somehow. That is, with the exception of the S550 Sport. That thing is awesome. The problem is, we're worried about reliability, not to mention the fact that they are *still* depreciating at the rate of about $800/month (which is better than the $1400/month average depreciation since new, but not something I can feel good about).
