In that case, just trade the vehicle in before the power train warranty expires. Me? I have no desire for a $75K Lexus, I would much rather have a Bronco. ---

New cars are expensive. If you can afford it, then do it. 14 million new cars were sold last year. You bought it 10 yrs ago. I assume you didn’t have a 10 yr loan. You saved cash to buy new car? ---

How many miles in your GX450? What else might you use the money for? If 11 years is long enough for you, buy the GX550.
