Yeah, I'm familar with those things, just looking for a comfortable and reliable full size luxury, and the LS400 has been my top choice...90-94 model years most likely...I'd get a 95+ but they seem to be a good bit higher than what I want to spend. Just want to consider the RL. I think the first year was 96 or so, so basically around 96-97. Reliability is the biggest issue with me, and costs to repair if I do have problems with either car. I've noticed the LS400's are very reliable from research I've done. Gas mileage would be a plus if the RL has more.
I simply want to make the most practical decision. I'll probably go with the lexus anyway, just want to compare first.
