Default How long will you keep your 4th Gen.

I bought mine in 2016. My plan is to keep it at least 10 years, so I will have 5 years without payments. But we all know how that goes...

What is your long term goal with the car if you own? How long do you intend to keep it?

Until it is too expensive to fix it, usually more than 10 years.

One more year, I really enjoy driving, this is the first car that gives me zero enjoyment.
Between the vibration, drone, and terrible transmission theres is no wow factor what so ever.

I’d like to think I’d keep it for a long time, but with the speed with which car tech updates, it makes it difficult. I said I was going to keep my 2013 ES for years and drive it until it dies, but four years and 85k flawless mikes later, I just traded it in on a 17 RX. Might help to stay out of the loaners!

There maybe hope...Meeting with Lexus tomorrow to do some in depth investigation, If we find anything I will be sharing it with you. Too bad ( sort of) the RX has been running great for ten days now. I hope I can make it do the hesitation thing as I have not been able to make it do it lately. Sorry can't help with the vibration or drone, as I don't have that. Maybe a drone sound but as discussed in another thread, I wouldn't call what I have a drone.

I'll be lucky to put 5k a year on it so probably a very long time. I have 5 other rides to chose from.

One more year and try to get out of the lease early enough to get a RX450h or look into the Germans for something fuel saving. .

Default 2017 Brand New In Recall?

Hi, I have a 2017 that I just got Monday. Would the door panel issue be in this vehicle ?

2019 when my 2 year lease is up I love the car (no hesitation, drone, or vibration issues) but will most likely switch to a GS.
