ive been doin some shopping searching on autotrader n other dealers and the lexus lx470 is are so expensive and l mean the 1999 old used ones with lots of milage like l saw one 1999 for $21,000$ and had about 107,000 miles on it why is this???.......

Cause they last a long time and are luxury. 107k miles is not even half it is life.

Because people are stupid enough to pay that much. There not worth it. Once they hit 50,000 miles they become money pits.For that kind of money if you want a money pit luxury car get a BMW. The real question is if you are a Camaro owner like your name implies why are not you looking at a Cadillac . There better cars.than Lexus could ever hope to be.

About these lists
The lists on these pages r compiled from overall reliability data covering 1997-2006 models with better-than-average or much-worse-than-average reliability. CR Good Bets & Bad Bets include only the models for which we have sufficient data for at least three model years. Models that were brand-new in 2005 or 2006 do not appear. Problems with the engine, engine cooling, transmission, & drive system were weighted more heavily than other problems.
