[image] Good evening everyone :love_you_gesture:t3: So, a family member sought my advice on the Lexus ES, asking whether or not this particular car is a good choice for someone who is a nurse practitioner and travels 70 miles to and from work 5 days a week. Me personally, I don’t know much about…

The NX is a midsize Crossover. The ES is a sedan. Apples & oranges…

I personally think that a die-hard long distance commuter should buy for the lowest cost, the highest reliability and the best gas mileage. Even then, commuting will be a costly enterprise. For me, that translates to something like a brand new Corolla. Plus, I would reconsider the “no hybrid” dem…

This thread is silly. First Clueless should realize he has no business being involved with helping someone choose a vehicle ( vehicle has problems and it will be his fault ). Second a 2023 or 2024 Lexus for commuting at a price that could be higher than a new vehicle like a Toyota Corolla. My sug…

You never told us what the loan term is. The purchase price for the Lexus and Camry could be the same, but a shorter loan term would push the Camry price $200 higher. Another alternative is a Toyota Crown. A new Crown is $2000 less than an ES. A new Camry XLE is about $10,000 less than an ES.

That all depends, do you fall asleep in your easy chair/take naps?? :grin:

Wife owned a 07 Lexus which we just sold with over 275k miles. We have one early repair (which was covered under warranty - Water pump). After that - ZERO repairs. Just normal maintenance. It was an EXCELLENT ride. Have good power. Same engine as my 14 Highlander. On highway it could easily get 34mp…
