Default Advice to Novice Lexus Buyer

I am looking at 2007-2008 ES350s. I have an option of a 2008 Base with 39k or a premium with 60k for similar money. Im worried about financing the car with 60k due to potential depreciation. I drive about 10k per year. Both cars are Lexus certified. Thanks for your help guys!

I keep cars for no ore than two years USUALLY. My relative works at the Lexus dealer so i will be getting the cars slitly over cost. Both have the 3/100. No NAV in base.

i'd definitely go premium if you only plan on keeping it for 2+ years, esp since its still under warranty, and you only drive 10k a year.

Lower miles- all day long.

The luxury stuff is nice, but half the miles and a lower price is a better choice-

Just my .02- -
