As was my 2010 RX350. Is the matador red a pearl paint?

SW17LS

Yeah it is.

Blend blend blend blend and blend is the only way to repair pearls.

I just got sent this thread....

I just came across this, also a 2013. First one I have had the opportunity to buy... ever I think.


I have been driving it... I love the way LS F-Sports drive to begin with but man does this thing turn heads.

I like it, but I'm not big into Red cars. They tend to be ticket magnets.

SW17LS

Actually you might be surprised to learn that's a myth. Insurance statistics show there is no more likelihood you'll be ticketed in a red car.

Looks awesome, and seems like a good value. Given its rarity, perhaps you could charge more

I am wondering why you did not (could not?) CPO this car.

litesoarer

Red car is more noticeable

SW17LS

I understand that, but the statistics show it doesn't make any difference.

Wow, I would love a red LS to match my FD. One day....

there's a red one at lexus of wayzata in minnesota right now. I have been looking at it, but i want a white f sport

Well, not related, but I saw my first RC F, red, yesterday. Some lady going to yoga class. Not sure if that RC F is matador, looked darker.

Those cars are nice looking and dare I say just as, if not more so rarer than our LS. Actually, that was the first RC F I saw, whereas I've only seen two refreshed LS' so far, one, a brand new one, is in my neighborhood driven by a little old lady. I saw her at the grocery store and it looked funny watching this little lady standing behind the huge car and trunk, trying to find the button to open. The proportions of the whole scene didn't seem right.

Bears...Bulls...pigs get slaughtered. My average days to sale on an LS is 28... in my market it's 63.

It's CPO'd, just gotta wait for service to finish so the RO can get closed so I can list as L/Cert in Dealer Daily... I L/Cert everything that I can.

Now..... Interestingly enough... This just popped up on Dealer Direct tonight in CT. I was tempted but it has 42K and is $900 less than the one that I bought with 21K miles... and LED Headlamps.

Hey rld, great to hear from you!!

So when the F-sport changes from Used to CPO on cars.com, will you change the price also? Why don't you just wait to list the car until after it has been CPO'd? I don't know how you find and sell these "bargains", no wonder your cars sell quicker than your competition. I can see why you are staying away from the 42K car.

Speaking of staying on the lot for a long time, look at this "stunning deal"
This car will probably stay on the lot for a year at this price

Nope, that's the price as a CPO. It should show as a CPO by tonight. I got a bit behind on CPOing them... Plus we lost 2 LSs this week due to accidents... neither our fault... the 600 got totalled tho Meanwhile a 2013 base just came in with 2,034 miles and I do think that I'll be keeping that one!
