agree, it's worth it to buy a nice car, just don't keep trading it in for essentially the same thing. a lexus will pretty much last forever on toyota parts, just change the oil. bmw too, though parts are a little more expensive but still pretty easy to own if you take care of it. any decent car today is rated at 500k miles, yet most think it's time to update after a tenth of that.
