The black monster? Totaled? Are you effing kidding me ??? I am sorry man, that's harsh. I hope no one was hurt.

Is it common to lose for-sale vehicles to accidents? I guess such losses are part of your overhead, and insurance takes care of it anyways. But it must be very stressful. Be well...

A 2013 with 2000 miles ? It's not even broken in. Mechanically, is that such a good thing? Sad thing though is it has probably depreciated a lot in spite of being almost new.

What are they on crack? HOW MUCH? With 42K? I sold one with 19K for $55995.... and that took a month to move (Ok it was silver, not Black, but still....). I figure that a 13 with miles in the 40s isnt worth much over $49K retail.

That's a $41-42K wholesale car IMO if it's nice. I'd expect to pay around $42K off lease, own it for $45,500-46K with Cert and ask $49,995 but advertise it online for $48995.

Well if it isn't totalled we sure as heck won't be selling it retail... Whole LF corner is just gone... Structural damage. Got hit by a guy who bounced his suburban off a central barrier and spun into the side of it.

2 days later, same guy, driving a base LS460 AWD, gets a flat tire, pulls over, as he's calling to let me know he's running late gets hit by a box truck and the whole L side of the car is ripped open.

Neither one is his fault. The 2nd one was a car that I got super lucky with too... was on lease extension.. buyout was thousands under market.

Can't win.

Don't remind me, bud ! I probably overpaid by ~5K for my black beauty ! Oh well, I still have my health and my family is enjoying the car!

Oh, the 2013 has 2,034 miles... Been a garage queen for quite some time but I'm pretty psyched to get it.

I found a red F-Sport on cars.com a few months ago. If it was close, I'd trade mine in for it.

There are two CPO red F-sports on cars.com right now

I thought they were quite rare

Minnesota is close to you, yes??

There's a few more out there...

Lexus of Annapolis has a 2013 for $50,850 with 29K.

I still have the only one with LED headlamps tho

There's RWD 2014s in New Orleans, Raleigh and San Antonio and a 15 RWD in Dallas.

While I was looking... Thompson Lexus in PA has a 31K mile base AWD for $39,995 CPO'd... It's Satin Cashmere which is a tough color but good god that's cheap for that car.

rld, I will PM you soon. Need some info about my car

Not Matador Red and not an F Sport.

comotiger

Did you buy yours CPO? It looks like prices have gone down by 4-5K for the Red F-sport since you bought yours in Jan. I am finding that prices for 2014 cars like mine have also gone down by 4-5K since Feb when I purchased. Makes me wonder whether I should have waited....

Scrutator

No, mine's not CPO. Seems like prices have dropped since January. At the time I purchased mine it was the only one for sale in the country that I could find. Mine, I think, was an early lease return, having been turned in about nine months before the three years were up. Now the 2013s are becoming available.

comotiger

Yeah, my 2014 Ultralux was one of only three or four listed across the country, and was the best deal at that time. My car had 43K but was not CPO. I have to spend another $3500 soon to get the 8 year/125K Lexus Platinum warranty. So the price differential between February and now will be even larger if any 2013+ CPO UltraLuxes come on the market. Oh well....

I hope to add a Matador red LS to the family in the next year or so. 2013+. I want the Matador red 460 L. L is a must for me. Currently only seeing 2-3 in the country for sale.....


I have owned gold LS400, white LS460, black cherry *was my fav* LS430. Never a red LS. Need one to match all the sports cars

Scrutator

I've had mine now for nearly 2 1/2 years. In that time I've never seen another Matador Red LS, F Sport or otherwise.
