Talk about hating your car

This 07 TL-s with aspec was traded to a lexus dealer with just 69 miles on it. I mean I could understand disliking the new car you just bought but give it a chance. Maybe it needed a new engine or something? And the car probably came with a few miles so I wonder how many of them these people actually drove the car. Plus it was probably driven by Lexus a few times as well. Talk about a waste of money.

i agree especially with that color. looks like it was bought at Claire acura in Mass and traded at Lexus of norwood in mass. i was at both those dealers a few months ago when i was car shopping.

The Claire decals are pretty easy to spot...

My WAG (wild ass gues) would be someone with money to burn didn't like the FWD with that much power and decided they wanted a RWD car instead

You never know the story behind the car, maybe the owner of the Acura dealership wanted a Lexus and took this lightly demo'd car over for partial trade. Maybe the owner of the TL won the lottery the day after he purchased the TL and wanted a fully loaded LS430L... there are so many possibilities.

either the ultimate buyers remorse, got a big job promotion, won lottery, it could be a lemon, or didn't like the performance of the TL-S.

I would too.......only because I need more backseat room than the IS provides.

If could nail the price at $32k, I would offload my 07 AV6 for that (even though I do not particularly like that color combo).
