I am giving the Lexus a try. I'm sure it will be fine for a while. Then, you are probably right, I will be looking for a BMW or Mercedes. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy the lexus. I am getting a GREAT DEAL on it. So, I will drive it for a while and then sell it. I am currently working on a case that could be one of those cases lawyers talk about 20 years later. I am representing 6 firefighters that were injured in an explosion. If I am right about where the law in Kansas stands on one particular issue, I will be looking for a much newer BMW or Mercedes. Perhaps a 2013 BMW 750Li with twin turbo V-8 (445 HP and 480 lb.ft. Torque)? Or perhaps a 2013 S550? No. Probably not. I would probably buy a 2-3 year old S-Class or 7 series and save myself a $30,000 in depreciation. For example, I found a 2010 Mercedes S550 with only 12,000 miles for sale on Car Max for $68,000. The car sold for $95,000. So, $27,000 loss in value in 2 years and 12,000 miles! HOLY COW! The BMW didn't fare much better. I found a 2010 750Li with 16K miles for $65,000. Original price, $90,000!
