Cadillac vs Lincoln

We have a 2014 Cadillac SRX, it has a little over 100k miles currently. Bought it used two years ago. Have had a number of little annoying things we've had to fix, the touch screen that controls everything (radio, climate, back up camera, etc) cracked, so we had to replace the screen. Horn also keeps blowing the fuse, so have had to replace that a few times. And most recently, we had to replace the arm rest on the center console because the latch that keeps it shut broke, so it was just staying up in the open position...
 
Lexus is probably a better overall vehicle.

OP, what kind of vehicle are you looking to get specifically? Sedan? SUV?
Depends on the model. Some of the Lexus offerings are in dire need of a refresh. We looked at SUVs last summer, and the Lexus models weren't even close in comparison to BMW, Volvo and Audi, despite the price point being very similar.

Sedan. Lincoln MKS or MKZ are the specific models of interest and are lower price point than the Continental.

Also everything I've heard about Land Rovers and Jaguars is they're hot trash.

Some of the Asian luxury lines are worth checking out. Infiniti, Acura, Genesis, and Lexus all have offerings in the sedan space that are worth taking a look at.

In today's world, used car prices are all jacked up but you use to be able to get some amazing deals on sedans from the Japanese/Korean luxury car makers.

A few years ago I bought a 3 year old CPO Infiniti M56x with less than 30k miles for less than $35k. It's original sticker was close to $80k. It had a 420 hp V8 that was an amazing highway cruiser. No one wants sedans any longer so you can get great deals on the few that are out there.
I'm guessing something like the CT5 loses a lot of value, so it would probably be a good choice coming off lease.
 
BUGS4CY rises from the dead to weigh in on cars.

I'm driving my second MKZ -- me buying the same car more than once is unheard of until the MKZ. I had a 2011, in 2020 I traded it for a 2018. I generally drive 30-40K miles a year and have had no issues other than normal maintenance. It's not overly wonderful in the snow, I switch to a Tahoe when winter is at its worst.

In late 1990s's I had two Cadillacs, loved them but I was broke back then so were purchased high mileage and the repair costs were high. In mid-2000's had an A6, oh Lawd the repair cost was insane.
