    They just rose in value now thanks to this video
  • At this point, Doug himself is pretty much the main reason these cars will now skyrocket in value
  • The Toyota Century had so much crazy technology for its time. It is a very cool and weird classic luxury car that is very reliable.

    Funny that Doug mentions a few cars I have had some experience with. 1. I bought an LS460 2008 new from the Lexus showroom, and still drive it today (14 years old). Still drives great. Have maintained all along meticulously (also with relatively low mileage) and despite some niggles in the 07-09 models, still worth owning. It’s hard to justify replacing because my LS is still so comfortable, smooth and reliable. Verdict: winning. 2. My wife drove a 2008 VW Touareg bought new, and we drove it for about 6-7 years. First years were fine, but expensive parts/service and lots of little issues. Depreciated like crazy and sold it for a song. 2010- models look much better. Verdict: should have bought a Land Cruiser 3. I bought a cheap Mercedes G320 and spent a lot fixing it up. Drivetrain has been rock solid, very comfortable to drive, BUT tons of issues with electronics, central locking system, comfort features. It’s a bit of a money pit and not sure if I can recoup what I put it. But still, a cool, capable car. My hope to is to get it up to 100% condition and then keep indefinitely. Prefer the V6 for efficiency. Verdict: jury is still out. 4. Classic Toyota Century is very high on my wish list. They come up for sale in Dubai for $15-20K. Tempting! Btw all these cars were driven in Dubai, with extreme weather, heat etc. Your experience may vary depending on your location.

    2005-09 avalon limiteds are very underrated, heated and cooled driver and passenger seats, rain sensing wipers, keyless entry, push start, auto headlights, radar cruise control, reclining rear seats, electronic driver and passenger seats, rear AC, NAV, and a 3.5l 280hp v6, only downside is FWD or an upside depending on who

    Love this “more Doug” content keep it coming
  • @longhorn99
    There are literally no G wagons in that era at Doug’s price point. All the dealers probably marked them up $20k after this video.
  • @TwoCarGaragez
    I know Doug doesn’t like the Infiniti brand, but one more to add is the 2006+ M45. The V8 4.5L is extremely reliable. You can find really good low mileage examples for way under 15k.
  • @cadman10000
    The last of the Lincoln Town Cars fit the bill perfectly. Simple drivetrain, super comfortable and you can still find one owner creampuffs.
  • I own a ls460, so far the best car I ever had. Bought it a bit under priced due to minor fixing needed, did all job myself and the car is running perfectly. Already put 5000 Kms on it, and it's a joy to drive and from the silence I get in the back seats it's a joy for my kid and wife too! They are even cheaper in EU than the price tag you mentioned here.

    I’d also add the first gen (in US) Hyundai Genesis 4.6 to the list, easily had under 10k, great performance for the money and bulletproof drivetrain. The biggest problem I had with my 160k+ mile example was the backup camera not working and I fixed it for $100. I drove it cross country and beat on it and it simply wouldn’t break.

    A wise man once said "nothing more expensive than cheap luxury car"
  • @_BAD_MERC_
    4 years ago I fell into a silver 2004 Lincoln Town Car that the owners son was trying to prepare for sale. She was 79 and quit driving and it sat unused in the garage. It needed detailed and a LOT of maintenance and both bumpers refinished. $3200 made it mine and that's a lot of car for pocket change. Plus with an expected half million mile lifespan - it should be reliable and cheap to keep that way.
  • As always Doug great job. Please keep on reviewing the quirky vehicles. I never skip those.
  • I got my 1990 LS400 to 320k miles. Low mileage examples are a great buy
  • All of the feels! My old man had a ‘98 LS400, ‘03 LS430, and an ‘08 LS460. Sooooo many memories. Lost dad in 2018, but I’ll never forget his penchant for the Lexus LS. (and 7 series BMWs prior to those)
