I know it sounds too good to be true but with a leased car that was traded in with clean carfax what could be wrong? What should I look for? And I will be buying cash so no finance scams

Did you read the yelp reviews on this place? Some people said they made an appointment to buy the cars, some even put down a deposit only to show up to the dealer and the car isn't there anymore for whatever reasons. With that being said, if you live close by, you could stop by and see what they say and make sure you have the car inspected before buying. You could ask to have the car inspected by a local lexus dealer.You don't know until you try.

Yea most of the reviews I read were people getting beat out of deposits but who's dumb enough to put a deposit over internet or phone. I plan on seeing the car in person before paying anything and paying cash, no finance bull**** or warranties. And I'm only an hour away so not too far. There are also reviews of people who bought their car there and love it so gotta take the good with the bad.

I did read the reviews though so at least I'll walk in knowing what to expect.

Be sure to let us know if they hand out a Nigerian Princess with each vehicle purchase.

Haha absolutely. I'm kind of expecting to walk in and hear some BS about an internet special price and the guy is going to say the car is really 24k. Which honestly....I would still consider since the car only has 18,000 miles

Did you not read? To get that price you have to finance the car with thrift. You CAN NOT PAY CASH. I garauntee you will get screwed. A fool and his money are soon parted

Lol dude walking into a place to check out a car doesn't mean I'm leaving buying something. Like I said I'm going in to pay cash, if that's not an option then I'm not buying. I read the reviews

I see the price is a finance price only but they have to have a price for a cash sale
