Default Traded my 2013 sp f-sport today

went to get my PSI reset and drivers side mirror checked (wouldn't tilt down in reverse) saw a car i'd never seen there on the lot before. went over to take a look. 2013 OB/CAB F-SPORT. found out by the GM that he special ordered it in DEC. it arrived 2 days ago. he was pissed when i said i wanted it. he had to give it up. he'd ordered it for himself.


BSM / HS
HUD / HW
LKA / VSC
DAM / RS
PCS
MARK LEV.

the SP only had

HS
HW
VSC

had to have the OB/CAB. so that's what i did,,, end of story. don't know why it's not letting me copy and paste? will try when i wake up. been at lexus all day,,, from 10:AM till 8:00 PM, picked up wife BTW she loves this one better than the SP. i am beat need sleep.

Hey, if you see something you really want, and the loss on the car and cost of the upgrade doesn't matter financially to you, why not

I always worry when I read posts like this. Not only do dealers love customers like this (fast trade in based on emotions, lose your shirt), but they will say or pitch anything to make a car sound good. It's been used many times before, "oh, that car is almost sold, or it was special ordered by someone but they backed out, now we are stuck with it." Or in your case, "I was going to buy that, but...." All these scenarios are created to make the car feel rare and the customer feel like this is his grand opportunity to purchase before it disappears. Now, if it truly wasn't for sale, it would not have been on the lot where potential customers could see it. I hope I'm wrong.

I've been there before. It's a smaller dealership but the staff is very nice. Congrats on your steal of a deal!
