Lexus Information:Many car companies often control multiple brands, and this is the case for Toyota, which owns and operates Lexus. In the mid-1980s, Toyota officials decided they wanted to carve a niche for the company in the U.S. luxury sector, but since the brand name was already associated with affordable cars, they decided to form a sub-company - and Lexus was born. It wasn't until 1989 that the first Lexus models made their debut - the ES 250 entry-level sedan and the LS 400. The LS 400 met immediate praise, as its luxury features were comparable to those offered in competitors' cars but it was much more affordable than others in its class.
Over the years, Lexus rolled out many other models including the RX, GX and LX SUVs and the IS and GS sedans. According to Edmunds.com, Lexus unveiled its first performance sedan, the GS 300, in the early 1990s, and the SUV family came shortly after. The ES and LS names have remained staples in the Lexus lineup, and have often been the recipients of praise for the high level of comfort and luxury they provide without too hefty of a price tag. Lexus is often lauded for the attention to quality and dependability of the vehicles as well.
Used Lexus models are dependable, and they are more affordable than new versions, so drivers who have been considering getting behind the wheel of a luxury ride might want to check out New Jersey State Auto Auction. The dealer, which is open to the public, has a variety of makes and models available for same-day sales as well as weekly auctions. Plus, every model is CARFAX certified, which ensures car buyers that they'll be leaving the lot in a reliable vehicle. |
