I just hit 106K and when I looked up the car value on KBB I decided to keep this car forever.

My wife will most likely hit 130k (40k since we bought it) today on our ‘08. The car is basically worthless (due to rebuilt title), so here’s to another 130k 🍻!

I'm in the same boat. I'm at 99,250. I had an opportunity to private sell my 2008 for $12,850, 4 months ago with 98,500 on it but backed out. I did not want to pay $5-$10K out of pocket for something newer when I have a perfect driving LS460 all sorted out that I am familiar with for the past 2 years. I am fighting to get over the "get rid of it before 100K miles" mentality.

Now the Infinity FX50 has sparked my interest. 400hp 5.0 V8. Not as much passenger room but has more utility than my LS460. I'm hauling around many more things in the 2009 Toyota Matrix compared to the LS460. I've seen a few under 100K miles for under $20K. I'd get one with the 20 inch wheels vs. the harsh riding 21s. I need to find one local to test drive.

20 inch wheels in general are harsh too! Even 19 inch is better. 18 inch seems to be the best if your looking for the softest ride.

The tire size is 265/50/20, more "meat" on the tire than LS460's 235/50/18

The FX are generally pretty harsh riding, no matter the tire size. We had the FX35 w/ 18” tires (family grew and got rid of it) and the ride was very sporty, which is not surprising since it shares the platform w/ the 370z.
