I owned my 06' for 3 years now and I love it more now then when I 1st got it.

I hated it when it 1st came out in 2002.

Funny how that works

Hi BNR,

Not to get too OT but: I hated it when it 1st came out in 2002.

The only Lexus dealer in Portland, OR is ~ 3 miles from where I live. I looked at them in the Fall of '01. I rather liked them & I would have bought an '02 new but at that time there was an 18 month waiting period. I was not about to wait 1 1/2 yrs to own a car.

BNR & Jerry, I too, really didn't think much of them when they first came out in 02. I think I started liking them when they got rid of the pie tins for the stars, then changing the wheels all together.
We're had our since July of 08.

I've had mine for almost a year now but I've been lusting over them since the 09 PB came out.

I've had my 2008 for about three years. I bought it new and have 42,000 miles. It's the best car I have ever had and I've owned about 20 cars since 1971.

I bought my 2002 white gold/ecru in 2008 with 23k miles. It now has 34k miles and I am happy to say it has had luxlink on it since my 2nd week of ownership. I still clearly remember driving it home from the dealer (the night I bought it) on a beautiful LA evening (10pm) with the top down and a fantastic 75 degrees-what a fantastic experience. My best car EVER!!! Yep that was 3 years ago.

Got my 05 in Feb 2008. Must have come off lease when I got it CPO from a NY Lexus dealer. It's in better shape now than when I bot it and I have put on 20K miles in 3.5 years of ownership. Really satisfied with the car and I hope to keep it a long time.
