I have a 10 year old Lexus gx with 95k miles and, as much as I love that car, my gut is telling me it's time to get something new.

I'm considering all sorts of options:
F-150 or expedition
4runner or tacoma
New GX550
2023 GX460
X5

Is there anything i need to add to this list? I'm not a fan of driver assistance and monitoring, or all digital instrument clusters, but they seem unavoidable in basically every new model I'm interested in. My heart says to go by a certified 2023 GX and drive it for another 10 years, but even those are $60k for sub 30k mile/3 year warranty vehicles.

Wtf do I do?

What model GX do you have currently? Will you be selling it? I might be interested.

Keep the Lexus for 10 more years and another 100,000 miles.

Your gut is telling you to replace a luxury vehicle with only 95k miles?

What a clunker

I’ll give you $3500 to take that ticking time bomb off your hands, and that’s doing you a favor

95K miles is still young for a gx. That ride should push 200K

Do not shop at Honda Covington. Buyer beware.

I replaced my 2014 F-150 last summer with a 2025. Hate it. Just like every other thing available today whether home appliances or whatever it has way too many electronic features that want to make my decisions for me. What happened to the days when you simply put the key in the ignition - fired up the motor - put it in gear and drove away.

95K on a ten year old Lexus GX is pretty light usage. If you want to get something new go for it. But you're not reaching any end of life cycle where repairs will outweigh the cost of a new vehicle.

I wish I could only have 95K after 10 years. I’ve never had a car under 95K after 5 years, usually 4.

And pay yourself the note…if u could afford the note to begin with, you can afford to invest the monthly note (eg, Vanguard VTSAX). Let those dollars be soldiers and fight for you.

Next vehicle has $50k+ ready for you.
