Lexus IS250 - sell or keep it?

You often rave about the Lexus IS250 V6 in terms of reliability and refinement and I fully agree. I bought one three years ago and have been very happy with it. However, a change in circumstances means it is becoming a “weekend car”. Obviously the car has suffered a good chunk of depreciation, but I am worried about the problems you get with low mileage cars. Should I sell it or keep it?

What else are you going to do? Sell it and buy an inferior smaller economy car for the pittance you get? I'd keep the IS250.

Very well built. Top quality interior. Lexus dealers are best in the business. Impressive refinement. All engines chain cam. IS250 probably the most reliable car you can buy.
