Exactly what I was saying. Sticker on the one I just got was slightly below $50K.

If you get a fully loaded IS350, the MSRP is slightly above $50k. The junior versions are much cheaper though

Are you really using MSRP? Invicta thinks their watches are worth $500+. Does that make it true?

Right, but that's what the sell for. That's what they are "worth". Bottom line is, if you have money for a newer Lexus, you have $500 to fix a bumper. I think thats more of the point.

For the love of anything and everything... PLEASE do NOT do this yourself. Might as well have picked up a $1000 95 honda civic if it's going to get a "DIY" treatment when damage occurs...

I guess the point made by those disputing the $50K car statement is that DIY is fine because the car was not really $50K, but if it were, DIY would not be fine?

I think DIY is the beginning of the slide to having a car that looks pretty scruffy before too long and would not do it personally, but to each their own.
