Pictures, please!

I found the exact 2019 I wanted a couple days before closing and it was at the right price, just a few thousand more and I also decided I liked red interior better than caramel anyway so here it is.....

The best deal on a car is usually buying CPO right off of lease (about 2 yrs old). You can often find them between 18-45k miles. The biggest depreciation happens when you pull a new car off the lot (b/c now it's not new). I'de suggest checking the vehicle very closely for any specs of paint over-spray on trim rubber that could be signs of an accident that was repaired. As one member noted, NEVER purchase a used vehicle based on photos alone.

It's actually nightfall mica but it can look blue, black, or purple depending on the light due to the metallic flakes in the paint.

Just bought a 2018 certified nightfall mica with toasted Carmel touring package. The only one I could find either new or used in the USA was in Minn. I had it trucked down to So.Fl. Love the looks and the ride. More than enough acceleration for me.

It was buy. Local credit unions give 2.44 apr.

In the end I backed out a couple days before bc I found a great deal on a 2019 so that car is still available at Lexus Ramsey if you want it.
