I have a used Land Rover, got a great price on it, and it's been a very solid vehicle for my needs. Your assertion is dripping with bias, overly generalized, stereotyping, and is incredibly ignorant.
In the next 6 months he had to
- Check engine light on. Checked multiple time. Never went away
- Replace engine gasket
- replace rear diff
- replace rear axle (did the dealership broke this?)
The worst thing was, he actually bought warranty from the car dealership, but they managed to weasel out every single item.
Pardon me if I am on the grandparent's side.
As the ol saying goes, nobody sells a vehicle they're happy with (of course people do, but they're predisposed to pawn off a dumpster fire by concealing the smoke with bags of tricks). With the used market such a shit-show right now it's almost no point to buy used anyway -- I finally just bought a new Toyota because the used ones with 100k+ miles were selling a few grand under MSRP.
Also, morality aside, the resale-ability of your Collora is on the exact opposite end versus a used Land Rover.
A $30k BMW is way more expensive than a $30k Toyota.
With Lexus you are cherry picking a bit though, their maintenance costs tend to be in line with other Toyota's, among the cheapest of all.
They are an exception though, for luxury badges. The germans are mostly terrible for this, and the "premium" american badges are pretty bad too.
