The ones who drive those... Towkay. If u drive yourself, its easier to park, costs less, also got same badge. More nimble relatively. No brainer lah. Unless u have driver ferrying you around and got long wheel base for you to shake your leg. Even normal mid size sedan u can still cross leg (albeit not much space after that) ...

Haha Been that done that, Yolo. I am good to move on. Also I realize a large sedan comfort is not on the driver but the passengers. Going back mid size sedan is indeed my next preference. So bro CT3833 has kind of nail it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are certain to keep the RX for a long time, otherwise be prepared for low resale value if you choose to sell it. https://m.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=869756 a very good example here.

Why why why lose the 60k PARF to LTA? Bcos they usually have common reasons - low usage, too sayang to scrap, huge saving compared to new car of same class. When come to selling, also the same few reasons - sick of driving the same car, problems start to come and want to avoid costly repair, or rising roadtax.

It is made with so much love and quality materials. Its has such a low mileage and in very good condition. Don't let it die. Save its life and renew. A Lexus is not just for Christmas its for life.

Wondertree 3rd Gear December 14, 2019 Share December 14, 2019 30k parf considered among the highest in the market. If you don't intend to drive another 10 years in it, my opinion is don't renew it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_SC Neutral Newbie December 14, 2019 Share December 14, 2019 (edited) The road tax is a killer. Why not consider 10y/o e class. Around 80k with coe. Power & prestige quite similar. Edited December 14, 2019 by _SC ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
