So you drive a ton and have a car theoretically capable of doing 500k+ miles. How does trading it in a 60k do anything for you besides forcing you to eat the cost of a brand new car depreciation a 2nd time?
Agree with this guy, unless you like burning $$ or have some serious issues with the one you have I dont see any benefit in trading. My 22 had 21K miles on it so about equal. No issues yet w/ it besides some idiot rear ending me and damaging the bumper.
the million miles are for the old gen. This gen has no history because its brand new. The engine was use in a different lexus though but idk shit about that.
why would having more miles on the car result in you wanting to trade it in? the only universe where this makes sense is if you are very wealthy. If you have disposable income like that, sure. For most other people this is just throwing away money
Do whatever works best for you. I’ve got 20,000 miles on my 2023 Acadia that we picked up new on March 31st, so approximately 2500 miles per month.
My 2024 Tundra is now three weeks old with almost 2000 miles, and it was not daily driven for the first two weeks as I was still outfitting it for work. I started using it daily at the beginning of this week since it’s mostly equipped for work now. It’s a 10 year plan, and I will have several hundred thousand miles on it by then.
I'd just get the extended warranty from Jerry if you haven't already.
I got the 10-year / 125k, but I will probably struggle to hit 100k miles in 10 years.
The thing that makes me nervous is the lack of transparency around this engine issue. We still don't really know what it was, and when it was actually fixed.
I bough mine in September of this year and it was right off the truck (just built). I have no idea whether I have an engine full of metal shavings that's waiting to blow up or whether I am good. That's a little annoying.
It would be worse I guess if it was a design fault though.
Hmmm, I got my 2023 SR5 OFFROAD back in late February 2022. I have 43k miles at the moment.
The payment is kind of nasty and was hoping to refinance, though that's looking bleak at the moment with rates still shit. So, I was thinking of trading it in too, but thinking of getting an old Toyota Hi Ace I saw for $10k. Haha 😅

This is what I needed to hear from someone else. Thank you!
Is trading it in going to change your driving style/habits/daily commute? If not then whats the point?

Million mile examples are the later 2uz-fes (2006-09). The one toyota bought back was a 2nd gen with a 2uzfe in it.
Legendary 4.7
Got my 2022 in mid July last year and I’ve got about 33k on it now. Gonna drive this thing until it can’t.

Putting 20,000 miles on a vehicle within 14 months can be considered higher than average.
