  • In this video I talk through the primary problem or issue I have with my 2023 Lexus LX600 F Sport. This is a problem that’s unique to me and my type of vehicle ownership. Most people won’t be phased by this…
    The LX 600 here and the Toyota Land Cruiser share this problem and that is they are almost “too niche” of a vehicle. Very few people buy these vehicles given their price points, we are talking 3500-4500 units sold each year. That is nothing. This makes selling them used or trading them in extra difficult. I can trade in a 2023 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro or Sequoia TRD Pro or Tundra TRD Pro all day any day. Any dealer would cough up top coin for those because they know so many people are in that market. Lots more people are trying to buy TRD Pros in the $50-60K range. The $100K+ LX600 market? Not so much.
    What are your thoughts? Have you ever purchased a vehicle that you couldn’t recoup the money out of?
    -Stay Untamed…

  • @georgetown8986
    @georgetown8986 6 месяцев назад +2

    Way too much money to have "tied up" in a vehicle no matter how much money you have accumulated. The depreciation on these types of vehicles erode wealth way too quickly and way to significantly. And that's with a Lexus/Toyota, where depreciation is "reasonable."
    Having $115k-$120k tied up in a Range Rover/Land Rover, BMW, Mercedes, Cadillac, etc. is absolute insanity and not even remotely intelligent money management.

  • @joeblack1052
    @joeblack1052 6 месяцев назад +1

    This is a 60k dollar car over capitalized to 110k.
    In other words if Toyota sold a minimalist 300 series landcruiser it would be in the 60k dollar range.
    Luxury trim maybe 90k dollars.
    So Lexus just added 20k dollars of unnecessary luxury.

    Nothing is a chore if you’re willing to lose some money. IMO, it’s better to do it(sell) sooner than later. Car prices have hit an inflection point and the days of dealer marks up and buyer flips are over. My local dealers that had 5-10k markup on LX600 are now sitting on at least 3-4 LX600 on the lot for over a month. I was “lucky” to strike a deal with a local dealership for MSRP in September. Ultimately, I backed off since I wanted to wait for GX550 next year.

Asset cost vs Value Retention are two totally different things. Then you said no dealer would buy it? WTH there's a waiting list 3 years long!
