My dad bought the Lexus brand new in 1992, and now in 2006 it is finally mine. it has 182k miles and still runs great. he offered to buy me a 2000 honda accord for graduation but I op-ed for the LEXUS, cant go wrong with a LEXUS. The car has held up well being over 14years old. No major problems yet, but little nik-nak things. I hope to use the car until i finish college and then purchase a SC430.
