yeah, they bumped the power a lot. and i'm sure I could get the best trade in at Hyundai themselves.
I have about a 4k upside on loan to value of kbb trade in, so there's some wiggle room.
The smart money says keep it and repair it.
the lazy ass and scared to go boom ass in side me says ditch it and restart another round of 5 years of loan payments.
I threw out the is350 because the auto transmission is fail. It's the only transmission in its class that won't let you leave it in a set gear. At least the first gen is350. Hold it in 2nd gear, back off the throttle some and... It shifts...
BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Acura, all let you run any gear to redline no matter what load.
Lexus... Nope.
The one I'm driving lets you hit rev limit. I haven't had it switch gears on its own. Even my IS300 lets you run up and won't shift until you press the button/paddle.
That's not the problem. The problem is when you put it in a gear and are expecting a hill or upcoming turn and back off of the throttle... I was driving down a highway about to hit a slight hill, had the car manual mode and the fucker shifted as I let off the throttle.
Sales person said it was a safety feature so you don't hurt the tranmission by leaving it in gear for too long lol.
Right after that I went to the BMW dealership and while test driving a new 3 series told them abut the Lexus the sales guy there said, dah fawk?
You need a 74 coupe deville.
With leather on the seat...
and wood on the wheel.

If you're gonna do that you may as well start leasing. Mileage doesn't seem to be an issue, and you'd never have to worry about repairs, which seems to be a concern. If you're gonna make payments forever may as well make lower payments.
yeah, i'm not a fan of leasing. I know i could probably save some money that way, but i don't like being ditcated how long i have to keep something for.
