Default Wife says "get one!"

Currently have a '14 Toyota Tundra with only 11,500 miles on it. Thing is, I no longer need a truck so possibly looking to trade it for a RC350 however concerned about a first year production car, they say never buy one until the "bugs" are out, anyone find any bugs in it yet? lol I may have to go drive one within the next few days to see how it is. Originally after a ls460 but that is a bit of a stretch, a big stretch plus I don't really need a large sedan so I think this is what I "want" also do most of you lease your cars or buy them? Dealer said over 65% of business is leases, but not necessarily the most logical decision as we all know.

If the wife says to get one, then you have all the blessing you need. Happy Wife, Happy Life. Mine said the same thing, and I don't regret it one bit. I too was worried about 1st year production model, but it's a Lexus and I haven't seen anything bad about them. No, I haven't found anything bad about the car so far other than I want to drive fast, and have fun. I've had mine since mid-December and all is great with it.

I bought mine. Sold the Camaro for $20K, and put some cash down. Payment is $373 per month for 60 months, and I'll probably pay it off early.

The wife is also wants to get an RC, but she is dead set on obsidian. Guess we may have to compromise on that.

Congrats man.

Funny my wife wanted me to get the Obsidian, and not the USB as I used to have a 2011 Rally Yellow Camaro that stood out too much for her.

Go for it! I have had no problems (knock on wood), and only a couple minor issues have arisen so far in this forum.
