What kind of vehicle would you buy?

My last and only new car was the 1994 Toyota Camry. I used to think that if I bought another new car it would be the Toyota Prius, but I no longer drive.

The current price of Bentley cars in the international currency of US dollars ranges from $177,000 to $245,000. My nine year old, one owner, Bentley, bought at auction, with 68,000 miles on the clock, cost a mere $17.600. Brand new it would have cost $150,000. It is as good as any of the brand new models because it's lived in a heated garage all it's life and how I love it.
Moral of this tale, when someone has more money than sense, you might just get lucky. Or, remember, you need to outlive your car by sixty years or more to get your money back. For fellow Brits, I paid £13,000 for a car that was £110,500 new and here it is:

Very nice! I can only imagine what a pleasurable and exciting experience it is to be behind the wheel of that beauty.

Thank you, I love my old MG too, (look at my avatar) we also have a VW Golf that we have had for many years. The VW is used when we need to go somewhere that means leaving the car in a multi-story car park. The Golf has a couple of security devices on it, which hopefully will deter would be thieves. The Bentley is, or was, pre-lockdown, a wonderful way to arrive at a restaurant or country pub, then again, so too is the MG.
 
My 2003 Lexus 300RX SUV was bought used in 2004 with 19,000 miles on it for $24,000 if I remember correctly. It has 200,000+ miles on it now and has served me well for all these years but now it's time to say goodbye because it's got an electrical issue that I don't want to deal with at this point.

I feel safe with Lexus and Toyota cars so I will probably stick with something from them. My daughter wants me to buy her 2019 Rav4 Limited for $25,000...including a warrenty (or I can opt out). It's in perfect condition. I need to make a decision. What would you do?
 
I would stick with Toyota. I traded my 17 year old 4Runner in for a new Corolla in 2017. Didn't have a problem with old one, but thought I should get a new one for my last car. Never had ANY problems.
