mine car is an 2007 and I have 59k on it. Actually now that I think about it my car is 3 years old tomorrow. I should go out and get her a little cup cake with a big L on the top

Gotta love capitalist economics. If you can afford something, you should buy it. Especially considering the term affordable has changed from meaning you have the money in your pocket to buy it to you can get enough credit to pay it off within the next 10 years.
Let me guess, your friends have a lot of toys, but no money in the bank or retirement investments?

I have an '06 GS 300, but I also have $400 large in retirement. And I'm 39. If you have less than $400,000 socked away by my advanced aged, you're not going to make it.

I did the 'ole take this job and shove it a little over a year ago. Fortunately I was able to retire at 53. I've been doing a little part-time consulting and like others my home office is probably 10 feet from the bedroom. Have zero debt, and three cars including my '06 GS300, '98 MB SL500 and '08 Silverado. I don't think we've driven 4,000 miles in the past year, but when we do go somewhere, it's nice to have a choice, and we enjoy each ride to the fullest. Looking forward to a 1,200 mile roadtrip coming up soon, in the GS300. Still love this car like the day I bought it (May, 2009), and glad I did get it. It's fun to drive, comfortable and I totally dig the looks of it. Oh, it's also nice to not have to fill the gas tanks every week...we do that perhaps every three months or so now These three vehicles are probably the ones we'll continue to drive into the sunset of our lives. I am thrilled to have found a great Lexus product that is a complete joy to own, drive and enjoy.
