Lexus sells cars, not payments.
this sounds like the bigotry you get from the german car fans. and no I am shopping for the best deal which to me includes the peformance and enjoyment of the car. the m45 has the performance and options I want. however I will keep my car if thats what it comes down to. its a great car.

well, this guy love my car and mine cost north of 60K in 01, cause it was a UL model. I paid 44000 7 month ago, and put 20 iforged on it... when this guy see my car, he was amazed with how many features it had, and he dropped his decision of buying a s500. The next day, he dropped 51K cash in front of me..
I guess I just a lucky bastard.

Understandable, and I think the Germans have the ability (not always taken advantage of) to build a great car, but I am speaking from a long term maintainence and value perpsective. Nissans are not known for their long term quality. Take a look at many older Ininity models- they look like heaps because they don't have long term quality.

I have a 99 LS400 that is 100% stock and still gets compliments on its overall appearance and smooth, quiet ride. People cannot beleive it is almost 7 years old. Show me a 99 infiniti that looks that good.

Don't get me wrong- they look GREAT new.
