I don't see a 2014 in your signature. What's your opinion, and based on what?

I don’t gave a 2014.
I just watched the video that TCCN posted and he says this model is the best used car to buy.

Default the 2014 Lexus ES350 is a tank, and needs to be, for my wife

I agree with the guy in the video, it is a solid car. It'll have to be, because my wife can wear out ANY car/truck she drives, in short order. Since we have been married for 32 years this week, she has abused her personal cars, despite my best mechanical efforts (she'll not inform me of a problem until it's too late, and I am not permitted to drive her cars, except in emergencies). She's doomed 5 so far, and only her '98 GMC (185k miles) and my '09 HHR Panel (also 185k miles) ,both used as back-ups, have survived a long time. The HHR was my daily driver for my 120+ mile daily commute, before I retired 10 years ago, and thus I kept on top of its' maintenance. The GMC has only been driven 20k miles since she got it in 2007, mostly by me, so I have also kept it in A1 shape.

It's a good thing that the '14 Lexus ES350 was/is in great shape, purchased with only 55k miles, and serviced regularly by the old judge that owned it. The only defect it had when she got it was the same damage to the right mirror as the one in the video. I have monitored its' health (using a Foxwell scan tool, with Toyota/Lexus software), changed the oil, and filled the new tires in the 1.5 years since then. I actually got to drive it one day, when an eye procedure made her not able to see, and i'm a weekly passenger in it, when we go shopping together; I want to keep on top of the car's health, this time around.

It is a tank, and at only <60k miles, it should last her quite awhile. I'd like to drive it occasionally, but if I was given the chance, I'd have to let her drive my 212K mile '01 BMW X5 E53, in exchange. She also isn't allowed to drive my '04 Silverado 2500HD,with 140k miles, either, hahaha. Nope, she'd destroy it in a day, I bet. She wouldn't like the seats or steering, and since she NEVER minds the gauges, the old Bimmer would get abused. I hope the legendary Toyota/Lexus reputation will remain untarnished, with her driving the ES350.
