1SICKLEX, even though I think you think I am a Lexus hater, I personally owns 2 Lexus, a 05' LS430 UL for my daily grind and a 06' SC430 for the weekend cruise, I love everything about them, I think they are the best cars for the money.......by far, and they are the best cars for my needs.

My parents owns 2 Lexus that I take care of and my sister own one. There are 5 in the family.

No Lexus currently, but out of all my past Lexus, at least half was modified somehow, some minor mods, some to the extreme.

2009 IS350 purchased outright and new ($40k cash) (with F-sport front and rear sway bars)
2007 LS460 purchased outright and new ($61k and change cash) - no mods.
2006 Honda Pilot purchased outright and new ($35k and change cash) - no mods.
2005 Honda Civic VP purchased outright and new ($15k and change cash) - no mods.

We've paid a little over $150k outright in cash to purchase these cars over the last 7 (coming up on 8) years.


We keep our cars for 12-14 years minimum. We always buy new and always pay cash up front outright.

The OP's question is "Who here owns a Lexus? Modified Lexus?"

How do the Hondas, how you pay for them, how much you pay for them and how long you keep them have anything to do with this thread?

I have owned 3 Lexus and none is modded (IS250, RX350, and RX450h) and My sisters are currently owning CT200h FSport, RX300, and RX330. So when they come to my house the parking is FULL OF LEXUS (5 in total).
