All about That Budget: How to Plan for a Used Car

The budget seems simple enough—after all, you set a price with monthly payments you can afford, then find a car with a price tag in said range, right? Unfortunately, the budget for buying a used Lexus vehicle is a bit more complex—after all, you’ll also need to consider the odometer reading and any potential large maintenance that’s in the pipeline. Also, don’t forget to consider your auto insurance and registration fees, which can add a couple thousand to your final total and throw off your financial plan if you’re not careful.

Thankfully, we have a few online tools to help you start your budgeting from the comfort of your couch or during downtime at the office. For example, do you plan to trade in your current ride (it doesn’t need to be a Lexus model)? Head to our Value Your Trade tool and let us know a few basic details to get a value estimate. Need help finding the right terms? We also have a payment calculator to help you judge where your monthly payments will fall with different interest rates and down payments—so play around with a few values.

Is a Certified Pre-Owned Lexus Model Worth It?

When you shop for a used vehicle, the big question pops up: Should you consider a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) car or SUV? The short answer is usually “yes” since each model must first pass an intensive 161-point inspection before earning the “Certified” title, helping you avoid a lemon. You’ll also find plenty of perks to help you save, including an unlimited mileage warranty and two years/20,000 miles of factory-recommended maintenance, helping you cut out a few fees that come with ownership.

Don’t forget, CPO Lexus vehicles can include virtually all your favorite rides from recent model years to help fit any style of cruising you have in mind.
