Actually the previous generations had huge problems, the RRS/RRS SC are rather good. However the stigma is set and the resale value is garbage. Further, it’s just not the type of vehicle most people put on their used car shopping list.
I had a new '06 Lexus bought back under Lemon Law. I don’t buy into brand stereotypes and hype.
It’ll have problems, but I have an unlimited mileage warranty on it. As long as they can fix it I don’t care if it goes in from time to time.
