Despite their reputation for being extremely opulent, Lexus cars are actually more reasonably priced than you might imagine. Over the first ten years of ownership, they cost an average of $7,786 to maintain and repair, which is thousands less than the industry average for premium vehicles (Car Edge). The 2010 SC was the last model year to be retired, so it is now an older automobile on the road.
