but they expensive to maintain, never mind if something goes wrong (then you really pay)
 
Not true, unless you're foolish enough to go back to your Lexus dealer for post-warranty service.
 
Having kept both a Ford Taurus & a Lexus ES 300 long after their respective warranties expired, I can assure you that the Ford took a much larger chunk of my income.

based on what i hear from lexus owners, i don't really agree with the letter of your post, but this is not the place to discuss it.

cccompson,
 
I have heard about Autozone before for a quick read of the trouble code but did not mind much about it. I plan to do that now and hope to see what the problem is.
I also am looking for an auto mechanic to repair my radio lcd problem. Hope this will not cost me much.
    
Thanks for your advise.

Thanks for the info. Yes, I am thinking twice now about trading in if I do not get a fair value for my car. I would settle for the amount you got for yours though. I will see when I get the chance to deal.
 
Excellent choice on your van... can't go wrong with the Honda. That will last you a very long time. We were looking at a bigger one too for this 2nd vehicle.. a highlander or a CX 7. Leaning towards the Toy for reliability but will decide after the test drive... heard some good things about the CX. Have a good one.

LOL, WOW, 15.5K? I was thinking 14K is really high already for a 3 years old car when people can get a new '09 for 18K.

very true...
Cars direct is selling new 09 LE for 18000 including destinantion in LA area.
With some negotiations I think one can pickup new 09 for 17K
 
So 15.5 is way TOO high

As Robbie said, books don't buy cars.
 
I always look at what the cars are doing at the auction when I give a value.
I could care less what KBB or Edmunds says.
 
I think $14,000 is probably best case, I could see it bringing a little less than that.
