A woman on TikTok was completely “shooketh to my core” when a Lexus dealership quoted her a monthly lease payment on the 2025 Lexus GX 550 that was so high it would cover most people’s rent. TikTok user KK (@kjkeekz12) and her husband decided to visit a local Lexus dealership after seeing the new GX 550s online, and she went in thinking the numbers couldn’t possibly be that bad. The reality check, however, was brutal.
KK was looking to lease, and she openly admitted to having an old-school view of car payments, saying she was “thinking back to all the commercials I would see when I was growing up. Zero percent down and you can get a $289 car payment”. While she acknowledged that “things have changed,” she still felt like “it can’t be that bad”. The kicker here is that her current car payment is already $400 per month, which she feels is her max limit right now, and she was clearly ready to upgrade to a newer, fancier SUV.
