3 Luxury Cars Engineers Built to Last (That Dealers Don't Want You Buying)

Between 2008 and 2013, engineers were still running the programs. They built cast iron lower ends, forged steel crankshafts, and naturally aspirated powertrains designed to outlast the car around them. Then the accountants arrived. Those machines got abandoned on the used market for prices that make no mechanical sense. An Infiniti G37 with 10 consecutive Ward's Best Engine awards for $9,000. A BMW 550i with a twin-turbocharged V8 producing 400 horsepower for $8,000. And a Lexus LS460 — direct successor to the engine a real owner photographed at 426,660 miles on original internals — for $7,000. In this video we break down the engine block forensics of each car, the exact maintenance gap between dealer and independent shop, and the pre-purchase inspection checklist before you buy any of them. The finance office built their business model on you not finding these cars.
