Default Im thinking...SCAM!!

I just saw these 2 ISF's on autotrader, posted by the same dealer and the prices are extremely good i think...but its probably a scam!

what do you think?

and what is up with the wheels on the black on?? i kinda like them!

and go to the dealers inventory and check out the other Lexus they have! the prices are cheap!!

oh and on one IS 250...it says "hard to find 6 speed"...HA

The white one looks to have stock wheels. The Obsidian one is either a Neiman or a Canadian car.

with such high performing vehicles on the road, i want too surprised that the F would eventually have some salvage vehicles. the bugatti that was left for dead in water a few weeks back simply shocked me to see how poorly some people treat the cars they probably earned hard money to obtain.....sucks to see.

if the work is done right and it runs perfect I would jump on it unless you want to buy an F to then sell it for profit then it wouldnt be worth it but how many of us want to buy an F to sell for profit. The way the economy is right now I would totaly jump on an rebuild title F i would even try to hustle them down on the price an F for less than 30k with less than 20k miles sounds good to me who cares what the title says

I agree. Sometimes all a salvage title requires is for an airbag to have gone off.

one thing to take into account though is that lexus will NOT do any warranty work on a salvage rebuilt title. as soon as it changes to those lexus voids the warranty on it. so not only are you taking a risk on a salv title on being built correctly, you will then also foot the bill for all repairs. not worth it to me.
