UpdateHi All
New to the forum and based in South Africa.
I'm looking to get into the Lexus club, and have 2 options from a dealer, and both are similarly priced.
Option 1: 2009, LS460, 55,000miles
Option 2: 2013, GS350, 90,000miles
I would love to get the LS460. The low milage and extras appeal to me, however, I am concerned about things going wrong and cost of repairs. I current drive a Merc c350 which has started giving me engine problems at 90,000miles, and don't want to make the same mistake.
The GS is a more practical option and dealer will throw in a warranty with it as well.
What are your thoughts on things I should consider (from reliability and cost of ownership).
My intention is to keep the car for about 5 to 7 years.
Thanks!!!

Decided to go for the LS......but deal includes a 2 year warranty.....just in case!
Looking forward to taking delivery. Hopefully by next week!
Will post pics once car arrives.
Thanks for the help and advice! Looking forward to it!

@jake430 the concern is not that there is a repair bill.....but obviosuly the quantum of the repair bill. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
I try and buy cars that are older, still look reasonable and last a long time.
I'm trying to find out whether either of these two have a clear cost benefit advantage over the other, as well as compared to my current car.
