Gift Ideas for My Boyfriend Who Has Everything?
I'd rent a sporty car for him for a day. If he doesn't have a favorite car that he talks about, his interests in watches, tech, and fashion lead me to believe he would enjoy a coupe made by Audi/BMW/Lexus, or possibly a Nissan GT-R or C8 Corvette. Get insurance for the day too!

What’s a BIFL thing you bought and now swear by?
I sold my Toyota Corolla 1991 back in 2017. Over 300,000 miles and probably still on the road. Currently in a 2007 Lexus RX that just hit 210,000 miles also still going strong.

New Toyota corolla hybrid can it really last 20+ years
I don't know about the US but in the UK toyota and lexus do a 10 year warranty. So you can buy a 5 year old car that's already depreciated hard and still drive it risk free for another 5 years before repairs become your problem. It's the obvious move for anyone tight on cash.

purchase car entirely or make payments?
Toyota, Lexus, Honda, and Acura are consistently the most reliable cars. If you take care of them they can last 30+ years. If you have the means, buy outright. Another trick is to look for salvage titles and find out why they were salvaged. You can nock 20-30% off the price for a minor fender bender. Run from anything with water damage (flood salvage). Tips: 0) Figure out what car you want and just google for common issues. 1) Ask for a maintenance history of the car. And see if those issues were serviced. 2) Run a carfax on the car to check for major crashes/flood damage. 3) Find a reputable repair shop in your area and pay the 100-200 for an inspection. It will normally pay for it's self. 4) Check the tires to make sure they don't need to be replaced.

purchase car entirely or make payments?
We have consistently bought toyotas/Lexus and not been disappointed. They are extremely reliable cars with basic upkeep. I'm currently driving a 2009 Toyota and am just now thinking of replacing it. We bought it used and I have put 80k miles on it and it just now is needing some repairs. If you have a lower budget I highly recommend doing the same. A toyota can easily get you to 200k miles/20 years old, so even if you get it at 100k miles/10 years old, you still get a car with a lot of life left in it. A camry is always a great option unless you have older children and need some more space. We still had a carry when we had young children and it was a great car. If you can pay off a car, then compare APR on the loan with the % you can get on an HYSA. If what you can get back on an HYSA or treasury bond, keeping in mind you pay taxes on the interest, then you should put money in to some form of savings and pay down the loan over time from that. But that's not the case right now, certainly not when looking at a used car loan-interest rates on loans are higher. So your best bet is to pay as much upfront as you can, get that monthly payment as low as you can, and aggressively pay off the car loan, putting as much into paying down the principal as you can. Shop around for a loan--you don't have to go with dealer financing as the dealer usually has worse rates than a credit union. Then, once the loan is paid off, put the money in an HYSA or treasurey bonds and start saving up for the next car.

Toyota or Buick to drive for many years
Whatever Toyota you are considering getting, find the Lexus equivalent and go a couple years older, and some more miles. For the same money, you'll get the pinnacle of reliability. They do make Lexus better.

Toyota 4Runner.. buy for life?
Really any Toyota/Lexus SUV is gonna be a good buy, depends on what you want. Some people are ok with a backup cam, bluetooth, and cloth seats. Some people want Leather and Car play. GX was out of my price range for what I wanted when I bought my 5th gen, but nowadays I'd rather have a nice early 200 series LX570🤣

Toyota 4Runner.. buy for life?
Weirdly, cross shop against the Lexus GX 460. Way more loaded with features and they sell for similar prices. I bought a 2018 with 56k miles for 35k in September.

Toyota 4Runner.. buy for life?
Get a Lexus GX460 instead, it’s a 4Runner with extra perks, yet similarly priced. V8 for power, an extra transmission gear, full time all wheel drive, higher towing rating, same MPG, quieter and more luxurious interior. You can add wireless CarPlay to factory screen too.

Which is better for BIFL - electric or gas-powered transportation?
That is complete disinformation. We have a 13 year old Lexus hybrid that is still getting the same 45 mpg as when new. Prius’s are known to be bulletproof.

Closest to BIFL car I can purchase in Europe?
Your biggest problem in Europe is the local emissions regulations for instance in London you need to have at least a Euro 4 compliant vehicle, diesels need to be much more strict Euro 6 standard at least. And this is only going to be ratcheted further. Toyota Land Cruiser Toyota Hilux, Lexus LX and GX, Lexus LS. Rav 4 hybrid and the Lexus NX hybrid - my main worry would be the CVH transmission

BIFL, but also BISecondhand. What are some things that everyone should keep an eye out for, but can commonly be found for cheap when preowned.
Yeah, most people who buy new Lexuses are the type to upgrade every 3-5 years. Since they are in essence just a high-trim Toyota they make for a fantastic value used vehicle.

Lexus vehicles. You can get a great 4-6yr old one with sub 75K miles, for half MSRP… and with very basic maintenance, it will last for a decade or +250K miles.

What brands do you trust to always deliver a high quality product?
Vitamix. Robocoupe. Bosch (kitchen appliances). Lee Valley/Veritas. Lie Nielson. Herder chef knives. Mac knives. G and L guitars. Taylor guitars (I'm not a fan of their style/tone, but their QC is best in the acoustic factory guitar scene. PRS guitars (some of the best factory electric guitar QC). Toyota/Lexus. They just work. I have a Honda, which is pretty reliable...but they chitzied on plastic floorpan clips instead of metal. Bottom of my car started going "whoosh" after 54000 miles. Never had an issue on my 1997 Corolla. Spyderco. Victorinox. Leatherman. solid warranty, and decent QC, even with all the Chinese clones. Mitotuyo micrometers. Built different. Tom Bihn bags. Waterfield designs. IMHO significantly better and tougher than Chrome (wore a hole through a corner in 1 month) and Timbuck2. Excellent ergos. Excellent workmanship and materials. Patagonia.

What brands do you trust to always deliver a high quality product?
Not too sure about BMW but the car buffs say that a Mercedes built in Germany is generally much more reliable than one built elsewhere. Same for Lexus built in Japan, to a lesser extent. I have a friend with a old Chrysler Crossfire, built in Germany (when Chrysler was owned by Mercedes) and it has been super reliable, and it is generally well-known as being "bullet-proof" amongst auto enthusiasts.

Did you buy the Lincoln new? If so, and if it's in the budget, look at the bigger Lexuses like the TX and LX700. The Toyota Sienna is also amazingly roomy/comfortable/efficient if you can do a van.
