i am in the market to buy one of the three previously mentioned cars. they all have similar prices. i was wondering which car holds its value with having the least amount of repair issues. also how much could insurance premiums vary with the 3.

If I was looking for one of those cars i would have to say none of the above and go with the Infiniti G35 and if you get the four door it helps on the ins plus I think they look better then the two door but thats just me

Acura TL hands down. It holds its value, has excellent Japanese reliability, and despite the insurance being pretty high, it's not that bad.

The Acura TL is the best for the money, the BMW and the Lexus devalue too quickly. Acura is well known as good reliable vehicle and it holds its value for that reason. People are a bit snobby when it comes to Lexus or BMW so they are not as desirable as a used car. Lexus & Acura will run you about the same for repairs and maintenance, BMW, well get out the check book and write a blank check.
