Default Essentially new fully specced 21' LC Convertible for <$88k

Surprised to find this one: https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...icle/713864553
It's new, fully specced (colors a bit bland). Fully certified with warranty. Only 200 miles? Model Year 2021? No accidents (CarFax).
And priced cheaper then many higher mileage used ones listed on Autotrader. This is actually a great deal. Unfortunately I already have one :-).

Lexus Sacramento must have forgotten about this one somewhere in the broom closet. Can't explain the low mileage otherwise.

Incredible deal for someone! Yeah, colours a bit bland, BUT its an LC - they would look good in lime green even!

I love Skittles colors on cars! I have test-driven a lime green M3 and Huracàn and loved that color on both models.

I am willing to bet that, for every genuine LC buyer like yourself, there are 10 more who are "putting on airs".
Some Salespeople are taught to do business face-to-face, as there are many unwritten "rules" about how to
determine if a buyer is serious. I know judging someone by their appearance and demeanor is unfair, but
traditionally that is how Salespeople have been taught to judge!!
When I was much younger (read: no such thing as emails, or even mobile phones), I went into a BMW
Dealership wearing jeans and t-shirt and sandals. I am of a visible minority ethnicity as well. Not one
Salesperson came to talk to me, until I asked for the Manager and told him what I had encountered. He
apologized, but he didn't call any Salespeople to me either. I'm guessing this still happens! I guess they
still can't assess your seriousness over email or phone!
In your case, the right Dealer got your business.

We buy all our cars in cash. I love walking into dealerships with torn jeans and a dirty shirt. The salesman that talks to us gets the sale and the ones that blow us off get reported to the manager. It's amazing how managers respond to paying customers complaining versus walkins complaining.

I could not get Lexus of Melbourne PM or GM to even return a phone call or email.
I sent the GM one last email that said, I bring my LC to you all for service. Since neither you nor your PM see fit to communicate At All with your customers, when I get ready to trade my '18 in on a newer one I'll just call Lexus of Orlando instead of you all.
The GM saw fit to return That email.
​​​​​​ Each time I've had service done I get a check in the mail for the amount of my service that says we would Really Like to buy your LC and give you this check...
