JTHBP262X85001369. Atlanta Auto Lease in Duluth, GA. After finding this out and taking it back I googled a lot about this car dealer. Apparently they are notorious for trying to rip people off with wrecked cars. I feel very lucky.

Time to search for a nice CPO @ a Lexus dealer!

I wasn't going to spoil your thread, but when I saw the plate, my first thought was UH OH, not those guys...

Glad you were able to return it with no issues. If you want help with the next one, LMK. I live in Duluth area, we can do a side by side with the real deal.

^^In Chicago, we have the same type of dealer called, Luxury Motors. I think they just went out of business or changed their name.

Atlanta Auto Lease has their lot filled with accident cars!

Good luck on the IS-F hunt! I'm searching for one right now too!

They definitely didn't want to take it back but i forced the issue. Luckily I had not signed my title over yet.

They already had a buyer for my 2007 IS350 within 24-hours so tried to throw everything at me to keep the car. Free Warranty, 2500 off, and a few other useless things.

I should probably just put my 350 up for sale and wait til it sells private buyer. I'm sure I could get more than 22 for it. 40000 miles, flawless except 1 minor scratch, and it still has the plastic covers on the illuminated door trim!

Good to know you were able to return it on time. Don't give up on the F. Its well worth it. I had a 07 G35x, not quite like your IS350 but I haven't looked back since the purchase of the mighty F.
