The Value of These Cars Is Dropping Faster Than Snow in Winter

Lexus ES 350: Reliable, but a Bit Too Ordinary

Lexus is known for making premium vehicles that blend comfort, performance, and long-term reliability. But the ES 350 hasn't quite lived up to that reputation in terms of excitement. It feels more like a basic sedan with a luxury badge.

The result? A $9,000 drop in value within the first year. New versions promise improvements, but whether they'll hold their value better remains to be seen. Until then, used ES 350s offer a decent deal if you don't mind the conservative styling.
