I ask because I’ve thrown around the idea of buying an electric vehicle but just not totally sold for the following reasons:

- large buy in price commit
- road-trip charging anxiety
- battery losing efficiency over time (and with weather)

I currently drive a 21yr old Lexus sedan - 2001 GS430
This was a $55k luxury car when new and I picked it up for $12,500 back in 2011 with 90k miles in a condition that looked like it had just rolled off the showroom floor. It has 165k miles today and is worth about $6-7k if I had to guess based on condition/mileage. I can probably drive the car another 5yrs and I estimate it will be worth the same amount given that it’s fully depreciated.

The car still looks sharp, gets about 20mpg, and still keeps me happy.

My friends think I’m batshit insane to make as much money as I do and drive a car this old but I have strong convictions about not buying shiny depreciating assets to impress other people. Additionally I prefer to put my money into investments, travel, family than things like cars or jewelry.

I estimate that I drive about 150 miles per week for work which translates to about $200 of gas per month.

I may not drive quite enough for the economics to make sense to go electric given my current reference point. I guess I need to also consider that a 21yr old car won’t run forever although I’ve seen these cars go well over 200k miles, even over 300k in some cases.

It’s remarkable how reliable this luxury Toyota has been. It’s never left me stranded, never had any high dollar repair - only brakes, tires, and some suspension bushings. Also had a check engine light once during the 10yrs I owned it… turned out to be a $80 oxygen sensor that was replaced this year (labor included). Not a drop of oil in my driveway and AC still blows ice cold. I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t experience it.

In a strange way, I’m almost eager to keep driving it just so I can see how long I can stretch this out…

What car do you drive and where do you stand on the gas vs electric topic?

I have three old Jap cars from the best period of Jap cars: 1997-2007. One is pushing quarter million miles, another, like yours, is old enough to legally drink alcohol, and the third is not here not there - barely over 200K miles and tad over 16 y.o. We're blessed in California to not have the rust problem, so absolutely no need to run out and buy a new car every 3-5 years as long as you stick to Japanese cars, preferably assembled in Japan.

Totally agree

My wife drives a 4Runner by the way, only great things to say about that one too.

And I always tell people, the golden age of Japanese cars was 1997-2005

You sir, are not batshit insane, but have financial discipline for what it takes to live a free life. I also have chosen to only buy used good mechanical condition vehicles, mostly depreciated vehicles that I can buy with cash.

I say keep driving it, that Toyota V8 is one of those that just keeps going and going. With the cost of electricity it would take forever to recover any investment in an EV….

Later years not so bad either for Japanese brands. My wife's US built 2009 Honda Odyssey still runs perfectly, and every gadget from power doors to voice activated stuff all work like new.

It was yesterday, but you win the day with that line. Although I am a watch guy, but modest $$ wise in the overall watch market. $1k is the most I spent on a watch.

I drove a Nissan Versa for a decade. It's still in the driveway. Thinking of keeping it and making it a project for my son when he's near driving age in 4 years. It's paid off but I think it would be a good life experience for him to fix it back up and not just get a free car. Put some work into it.

I drive a Nissan Armada with 210k miles now. Knock on wood, but it's been a work horse. Needs some suspension work and I'll try and charge the AC, but it's not been working on warm days here in IL. We had to do the starter which was a bitch. Otherwise it's been reliable. Gas is insane on it, but work pays for it so I give no shits.

Wife drives a 2019(?) 4 Runner. It's solid, but not having a V-8 is weird for me now when I drive her car. She wrecked the Sequoia (not her fault) and I miss that car. That was a brick shithouse of a vehicle.

I have no interest in EV's for now. I have, have, have to be able to tow a trailer. Nothing compelling out there with even modest range.

If you're used to the Lexus sedan, just get a Toyota in the similar size. I cannot remember the model for Toyota, but they're the same cars and cheaper than the Lexus. It's just interior differences and frankly branding to charge more. I know a Toyota engineer who is now on management side. Lexus is the exact same except with a nicer interior. That's it.

I'd keep driving it if I were you. New or used car market EV or ICE is fucked up right now. New car, hells no.

Rambling... My mom got a new RAV-4 hybrid just at the right time. Only 2 in the state. She gets 90 miles on an electric charge. She hasn't been paying for gas for months. If you're thinking of EV, I'd go with a hybrid EV if you're under 100 miles a day, but you still can get 300 miles or so with gas for longer trips. But that depends on your needs. The EV discussion is tough with out know driving habits. I easily will drive 300 miles every month one way. EV won't work for that use and need towing... so nope.

Figure you needs and don't worry about the Jones'. It would likely be a newer looking car anyway, so it's not like you're driving a 1998 Corolla or something. I'm a bigger SUV guy, especially after the wife's accident. Kids could have potentially died if she was in my Versa. Gas be damned, I'm a big car guy now. Especially in the country/rural where everyone is driving big ass trucks and farm equipment.

There is no Toyota equivalent for the GS, so not "same car".

And I'm pretty sure the GS's VIN starts with a "J", which makes a diffrence.

Honda accord. Over ten years old. Approaching 200k. Typical NYC commuter car. I don't care if it gets scratched / dinged / stolen (alright maby if they stole it I'd be upset) Reliable AF. Gonna drive it into the ground.
8   Patrick   2022 May 18, 8:56am  

I drive a ten speed bike. I decided that I hate driving to work, absolutely detest it. It's a waste of money and human consciousness, and traffic sucks around here. So about 20 years ago, I decided only to take jobs I could get to by bike and train, and that worked out well. I get exercise on the bike, and can sit and read or chat with people on the train. It's kind of nice that the weather allows that year round around here. But I don't even commute lately because no job.

We do have a 2011 Honda CRV for shopping and taking vacation trips, but I don't think about it much.

Tesla Model Y.

I get a car allowance for work and we are encouraged to get a new car every 3 years as our monthly allowance and expense rate for miles decreases after 3 years - so I have been doing 3 year leases for the last 10+ years (had a couple Hyundai Sonata's, Chevy Bolt and now the Tesla). I drive about 500 billable miles each month for work which makes my allowance about $740/month which more than covers my $650/month lease payment. I save even more each month since I can fill up my tank at home for about $8.00.

Totally get why others would hang onto cars that are paid off and still drive well and are safe. EV's are not for everyone yet. But with my financial situation and love of driving, the Tesla makes all the sense in the world for me. I can't imagine ever going back to an ICE car.

Finally retired the 18 YO Subaru WRX wagon, best car maintenance wise I ever had and a pleasure to drive. I wanted an anonymous box, so traded up to brand new Subaru Forester LImited. I can't believe how nice the Forester is, I like everything about it. I used t drive the Infiniti and Lexus sedans, but the luxury car thing annoyed me. I just want something that is reliable, comfortable, roomy and safe. So far 28 mpg on regular gas in mixed driving.

The lady who does my hair (drives big Lexus sedan) forgot I had Subaru and was laughing and joking about how they were lesbian cars. I told her I must be a lesbian, then. She was embarrassed, but I told her it was OK, I don't givee shits about image.

I only ever had one car loan out of necessity. If I couldn't pay cash for it, I didn't buy it.

1999 Oldsmobile Alero.

Like this, but a different color:

12   rocketjoe79   2022 May 18, 10:58am  

Tesla Model Y. After a year and 10k miles, it's time to get my tires rotated. That's ALL the maintenance I've had to do.
I'm not a great example of a daily driver racking up huge mileage. Our last trip to the coast, about 600 miles, cost me $40 in road charging. That would have been $120 in gas at California Prices. No issues finding fast (250kW) charging stations. Even the tourist stop at Casa de Fruita has a bunch of chargers. Ate lunch, puttered around the gift shop, and the car was fully charged for the trip home. Car has insane handling and acceleration, and tons of space in the back and front.
The single gripe I have is the fairly stiff ride. I could get dual rate springs but it's not that big a deal.

The "autopilot" is better than anything else out there. Really takes the stress out of driving, especially in stop-and-go traffic.

Regarding battery life loss, you can find several accounts online of better-than-expected battery degradation. Also, I could actually sell the car today for full purchase price. Tell me about any other car you can do that with.

Also, consider safety: Teslas are literally the safest cars on the road. Using Autopilot, the accident rate is 8x better than average. Do you want you or your family to become a statistic?
13   SunnyvaleCA   2022 May 18, 12:31pm  

You state that you're happy driving your current car, it's cheap to run (no depreciation and cheap gas because you don't drive very far), and you believe it will continue to be reliable. I see no reason to change.

If you're looking to switch to electric to "save the planet" then consider this: Since you're a low-miles driver, you're the best person to keep the car and run out it's life with old age (instead of high miles) — let those 30k/year drivers get the electric vehicles.

If AF were still here, he could explain to us spendthrifts again the wonderful world of police auction beaters if you want cheap, disposable transportation. If it lasts for 10K, it's a bargain, just trash it and go get another (be sure to do it before the smog test comes due, or, better yet, get a pre-smog model).

17   NuttBoxer   2022 May 18, 1:39pm  

'98 Honda Civic, and that's the newest car I've ever owned. I've never had a car payment a day in my life, and never paid more than $3,000 for a car. Financially, unless your current car is bleeding you dry with constant repairs, or needs a new engine or transmission, you'll save more by keeping it. If you're asking about the morality of electric vs your current car, consider the damage electric vehicles cause from mining the metals for their batteries. Also consider that the majority of electricity is produced using oil. Lastly, consider that you could donate the money you save by keeping your current car to a charity that you trust.

So with zero financial, and zero moral reasons to buy a new car, what are you left with?

I have one too.

One thing that's also really nice is how cheap parts can be at this stage. Often I can find quality clearance parts on rock auto for a major bargain, but regardless where I buy from, they're priced low. No German anal death rape parts pricing w/ jap cars.

Although, I admit I haven't checked part prices recently since the new car shortage...

That's a great ride! Hold onto it. It looks great for it's age. That's a great example of Lexus's prime years before they started putting whiz bang in everything.

I drive a 2022 Prius Prime - I paid under sticker for it. Wife has a 2019 Highlander. No plans on either of us selling/trading for the next 10-15 years.

We previously drove a 2008 CRV and a 2009 Civic.
22   GNL   2022 May 19, 6:06am  

I did some math yesterday and I've saved somewhere around $10,000 by keeping my 2012 Malibu running. And that's based on if I had replaced it with another cheap Chevy.

My mechanic friend bought a 1996 Toyota corolla for $150 with 200,000 miles on it as his daily driver. He also just bought a Toyota Tumdra with over 300,000 miles on it for $4,000. Why? Because he says Toyota will literally last forever with good maintenance. Toyota includes Lexus btw.

Other than collector cars, cars are a huge waste of $$. I'll probably never purchase another new car.

Anything is available for a price. But that was my point. Toyota and Lexus are the same cars mechanical wise. They just make the Lexus prettier and charge you more. And yes, there are one off cars like the Supra. But the Lexus sports cars still likely use the same chassis as the Supra.

For my daily driver (fake scenario), let's say a 2022 Nissan Armada, it's the same car as an Infinity QX80 of the same year. The only difference is looks, more buttons to push and shiny. Toyota is the same. Hell even a Tundra and Sequoia are essentially the same car. One has a truck bed the other has seats instead.

You buy premium models like Infinity or Lexus to look like you shit money. Not knocking anyone that chooses that route, but that's literally the only difference between Toyota/Lexus and Nissan/Infinity. They branded to up charge $10-20k on the same car that only cost the manufacturer $1-2k more in production and an extra $200 in marketing for the car sold. This is 1,000% fact. Straight from the horses mouth of a higher up at Toyota.

Hell car manufacturers are openly touting the fake news narrative. If you think you're getting a better car with Lexus vs a Toyota, they got you with marketing. You bought the lie. And buy what you want. I get there's ego in car buying, but who cares really? If anything a "luxury" car makes me think you're going to screw me in the business world. I have hella respect for the person that rolls up in a $15k used car and knows what the fuck he's talking about. Instead of the frat bro tool that pulls up in a Lexus wearing a suit to walk through a home that needs total rehab. Smart people don't care what you drive is all I'll say. Buy cars that are reliable and fit your needs.
25   clambo   2022 May 19, 7:34am  

I would keep fixing up the car if you like driving it.
New cars are more efficient but more complex with smaller engines usually.

My car is a Volvo S60 T5, 5 cylinders turbo, 250 hp. It’s fun to drive and goes like a bat out of hell if put in Sport mode. I absolutely love it. It’s made in Belgium with a Swedish engine.

Used ones are pretty inexpensive, $11,000 for a clean 2014 or about.

BUT, the newer Volvos have 4 cylinder engine and aren’t made in Europe and are expensive.

My other cars have generally been Toyota pickups, which are great. The 1998 Toyota is still running, I sold it to the guy who worked for me.

The problem with the Volvo is fixing it is expensive. I’m amazed that replacing the alternator is $1700!

The best car I ever bought was a 1964 Volvo that I paid $200 for in 1974.
How I miss the good old days.

I think maybe BMW still sells cars with normal engines, they are generally well made.

I like the Chevy Bolt in theory, but I never drove one.

That's why they call them "Lesbarus."

Wife has an 08 Forester, I've got the 17 Outback 6 cyl for my music and camping gear. The major problem with all newer cars (with the exception of Toyota and Honda) are the CVT transmissions. SOA has had to up the powertrain warranty to 10 years because of all the problems. I think they just plan on replacing them as they fail under warranty rather than try to maintain or remanufacture them. I wish I could have gotten a stick, but I wanted the 6 cyl and not the 2.5.

28   Eman   2022 May 19, 10:07am  

Lexus GS 430 is a great car. If you’re ok with it, I’d keep it. $200/month on gas is not bad at all. You won’t recover the cost if you buy an EV. It’s really different strokes for different folks.

I enjoy driving newer cars. I drive a 2017 Tesla Model S. Wife drives a 2017 Acura MDX.

Once she picks up her 2022 Model X in a couple of months, she’ll pass the MDX to my little sister. Once I pick up my Cybertruck next year, I’ll pass my Model S to her brother. Each side of the sibling gets a free car so no complaints. I don’t see us ever going back to an ICE car at this moment.
29   B.A.C.A.H.   2022 May 19, 11:40am  

I track the cost of ownership and operation for my vehicles.

It is not difficult to maintain if you set it up when you get the car and are disciplined about updating it.

The figures of merit and inputs:

Variable costs:

Fuel cost per mile. Track the gas mileage "MPG" by only filling up and dividing gallons into miles driven. Since I purchase fuel less than once per week this is not a lot of work. The logsheet is an old-fashioned check book register in which I record the purchases. Fuel cost per mile is (MPG) x (recent price paid per gallon). For my 2006 2WD Tacoma this is presently $0.27 per mile.

Maintenance cost per mile. Keep a log of maintenance and repair performed and cost. Some performed at garages, some at dealers, some by me. Keep a running total spent, divide the total miles driven into the total money spent. You can get fancy and get the slope for recent expenditures to account for inflation and higher cost as the vehicle ages. I used to do that but got lazy so nowadays just track the totals. It's a reasonable enough estimate for benchmarking. At present the 2006 Tacoma is $0.20 per mile.

So the total variable cost is $0.47 per mile.

Next are the fixed costs (per month or whatever).
Insurance $50.62 per month
Registration $15.50 per month
Depreciation $66.00 per month

For depreciation, a couple or so times a year I look up the trade-in values of my vehicles on KBB. Trade-in because I am too lazy and paranoid to make a private sale. I used the straight-line depreciation from the purchase date to present. That's probably a simple-minded over simplified method but I am too lazy to get fancy and it's good enough for me for benchmarking.

So, my 2006 2WD Tacoma is $0.47 per mile plus $122.12 per month.

For comparison the 2018 artsy-fartsy Cool and Hip Prius Prime is $0.25 per mile plus $217 per month.

About new cars, I can't stand all those new vehicles that turn off the engine at stops. I've dealt with dead batteries and jumper cables from time to time. I've had shitty batteries that won't hold a charge, - again, a minor inconvenience with the jumper cables till I could replace the battery. But that won't work in those kind of new cars because it won't restart in traffic.

I think this is cheating to meet fuel consumption mandates. Car owners should have an option to override this feature, but with all the fancy new electronics betcha can't do that.

You can on the Subaru. I like the stop feature. The stereo sounds much better when you are stuck idling without the engine on, and it is really responsive, so I am glad it is there.

The facial recognition feature on the next level up was too spooky and big brother for me, and most people seem to turn that one off, but with all the surveillance, who knows if it is really ever off.

35   Bd6r   2022 May 20, 9:05am  

Never had any gaskets go out on us. 2003 Forester was totaled in a crash a couple years ago and had nearly 200K miles on it. Before that, only repairs were battery changes and windshield repair.

Having said that, I am not buying Subaru's any more. Our last Forester feels underpowered relative to 2003 version. I suppose it is because of mpg mandates, or because they are trying to be like every other car manufacturer.
36   Ceffer   2022 May 20, 10:14am  

Yes, I had to replace head gasket on Subaru WRX turbo at 60,000 miles. Only major repair item. I guess that is pretty standard, but I haven't heard of it in the non-turbo, and I think a lot of turbos have head gasket issues in general.

However, being a lesbian makes up for all of that.

Having said that, I am not buying Subaru's any more. Our last Forester feels underpowered relative to 2003 version. I suppose it is because of mpg mandates, or because they are trying to be like every other car manufacturer.


Ours had a leaky gasket too, common problem apparently. I like it as an AWD, I do offroad a lot with it, there are no roads where I go. But yeah not sure if I'd get one again. Trucks are much more useful with a crew cab especially, just hate that most aren't 4WD.

However, being a lesbian makes up for all of that.

This is the worst case of lesbian envy I have ever experienced on Patnet.

Yes, I hear that lesbians with an actual penis are in high demand.
