Which would you choose?

Lexus(Japanese)

You can only vote on one answer.

If you have the cash for a luxury sedan would you go for which and why?

I personally would choose a japanese for hassle free maintenance and a good resale value.

Germans are more fun but they come at a cost which isn't feasible for me along with the depreciation.

I think I would go for a Lexus, for the same reasons.

@SubstantialKick I just did a calculation of the dealership charges on a Lexus and a BMW 5 series.

The Lexus faired better and is the reliable one amongst the two. It's worth every penny.

@Beatbox34 I’ve owned both. From a value and comfort standpoint, the Lexus blows BMW away. To be fair though, a driving enthusiast would choose the BMW as would someone unconcerned with value.

I commute an hour plus each way to work so the comfort of the Lexus matters more to me. If I had a very short commute, I might choose another option.

@Adogslife I agree. The driving experience in a BMW is a night and day when compared to a Lexus.

However, the long term ownership and resale of those cars bother me. It's a nightmare when a module starts failing on them.
