Is a 2015 Lexus LX570 too “showy”? Pretentious?
I guess this may sound hypocritical but I usually don’t care what people think but I do care if I come off as too “showy” or “try hard”. I don’t want to be “that guy”. I don’t want to be seen as pretentious/flashy. This is something I desperately try to avoid.
Everybody knows that Lexus is the luxury division of Toyota. Some people may know that Landcruiser is the top of the line Toyota. But what most don’t know is that a landcruiser commands a 15-20%+ premium on the used market over the comparable LX.
To others do you think having an LX signals “oh the top of the line Toyota isn’t good enough for this guy so he HAD to get a Lexus.”?
But in reality I’m frugal/cheap so if I can get pretty much the same car for 15% off on the used market hell yeah I’m gonna do that instead.
PS I’m not stealth wealth or trying to hide any wealth bc I’m pretty solidly middle class. I just wanted a reliable V8 Toyota. I love mine!
