Default Traded in my RC350 after 48 hrs

Soooo here's the scenario. I went to JM Lexus "to look" at the RC350 F-Sport since I've been debating on getting one later this year. I ended up making a deal that day on a Ultra White with Roja Red interior. I had to drive the RC home and my 14 IS since I needed to remove my mods from the car. While having the RC for a 1-2 days and knowing I really wanted the RCF which is my dream car I called JM Lexus back and was able to bring back the RC350 without any penalty and get my hands on a Ultra Sonic Blue with Circuit Red RCF.

I think you got really lucky that they allowed you to do that! And it's good for you that you won't drive the rc350 while always regretting not getting the RCF. congrats man!

Congratulations on your beautiful ride! I'd be all over it if I could fit two car seats in it.

Come on GS F...

Maybe I'm the wrong guy to comment here - my kids make fun of me because I don't drive in Sport+ mode...

but I'm in NY. We get to go very fast for 3 feet before traffic slows us down. My Fsport is amazing, but I couldn't see the use of getting the 350F where I live.

You need a wide open road to appreciate and get the use out of that car. Hope you have that!

Nice car btw

You got Ultra Sonic Blue in the U.S? I didn't know they offered that color in the U.S now! Or am I missing some information?

Wow....what a story. But I believe most dealers would do the same thing. Ours would for sure.

Good Choice!
The RCF is totally a different car!
