I Want To buy one of these luxury japanese cars, Either A Lexus Es 300 or Ls 400, An Acura RL or?

Speaking for car i had which was the infinite i30 it was a great car and offered a huge amount of room where i could not even reach back and reach rear passengers,loads of extra like electric sunroof windows front and rear mirrors etc etc and was overall a great car,my wife is looking to get another one sometime as a second car and she really misses the one we had.

Parts are not over expensive,also we had a crash in our when someone hit us from behind,not my fault,there car was written off as there front bonnet was sat in the inside the drivers area of there car,whilst our car had a slight crack on the bumper and a 1" dent on the back bodywork.

But the cars you have mentioned i can imagine will see you right i also looked at the lexus gs300/Toyota Aristo which is a nice big Japanese car also the Lexus Toyota soarer which is sporty and adds luxury also and the Toyota chaser and cresta.

First off, none will be "least expensive" to maintain if anything unforeseen breaks. The most reliable historically would be the LS400, but not sure which model year you're looking into, but it's 2000 or earlier, so we're talking atleast an 9 year old car, with x-number of miles... it's hard to say right?

Without having specifics like year or mileage, I would say rule out the ES and I, since they are 6-cylinder, front wheel drives and basically luxurious Camry and Maximas respectively.

Thus leaving the LS and RL. Acura RL also front wheel drive and not particularly luxurious to me. So, with all things being equal, the LS is the way to go.

don't listen to people saying a lexus is an over priced camry. the people saying that probably don't even own a toyota let alone a lexus at that. i own a 2004 lexus gs 400 second owner with 50,000 thousand miles and a 1997 lexus es 300 purchased brand new. my es 300 has 178,000 on it and still running strong.i use it for commute now to see how long it will go. things that have been replaced are timing belt, water pump and the basic tune-up stuff. if your buying a used lexus like i did with the gs 400 i would make sure you see service records before you get it. if the car is not taken care of it doesn't matter how many miles you have on it you will have issues down the road. i would go with lexus.

The Lexus is a great car, acura RL I like as well as the infinity, cost efficient, try the infinity G35, I know many people who have just bought toyota camrys, because they are essentially a lexus and they look the same. Buy a camry and remove the toyota badges and replace with lexus badges, HA

I own an Acura Rl, and my friend owns the LS 460L. both are amazing machines. Both are reliable and cheap and easy to maintain. It all comes down to what year your buying and how much you want to spend. Cant go wrong with either. And that Acura is scary fast and has amazing Super Handling All Wheel Drive. I've taken off ramps at 70 with no problem.

Lexus is the best rated of the luxury companies rated by consumer reports, in fact they rated the LS 400 as one of the best cars ever built. Lexus is the best in my opinion.

the Es 300 is a reliable but over priced camry...for another 20 grand ull be in 400 territory with all the benefits of a car that's been voted most reliable, cost effective and great resale value ...Infinity's are troublesome..75% of luxury cars are leased.... so you can find plenty of 2 and 4yr old ones if you wanna go that route..

Lexus or Acura. I'd stay away from the Infinity because its a Nissan product and they are less reliable than Lexus(Toyota) or Acura(Honda).

I have an Acura (MDX) and a Lexus... they are reliable... but sometimes the navigation of the Acura is off a little, but all cars have small problems like that...
