Lexus, generally, has an excellent reputation for build quality/durability.Originally Posted by ChevyMan
However, like any luxury car, parts and service (when needed) can be costly.
I personally would not recommend any nearly 10-year-old luxury vehicle if the buyer is concerned about repair/maintenance expenses.
A major brake job on your Lexus, for example, can cost twice what it would cost to redo the brakes on a more "basic" car.
