Default Bought a Barely Used 2016 LX Today

The LX had 1300 miles on it after an owner traded it after a few weeks ownership for a new one of another color. So I bought my Nebula Gray Pearl LX today ! Looking forward to many road trips and adventures.

I used to own a nebula LX: the color was a love/hate relationship. Loved it because it was different for a Lexus and great in the sun. Hated it because it looked too much like a Toyota and really dull in the winter

Yes, it is CPO, so the warranty extends another 2 years with no mileage limitation.

Nebula gray is Toyota paint code 1H9. It was called Mercury Gray through the 2012 model year and was then re-named Nebula Gray. Toyota uses the color on Camry, Avalon, and Venza models. Lexus uses this color for the CT, IS, ES, GS, NX, LS, GX and LX. So it's pretty commonly seen. I came across this while looking for matching paint in a rattle can. Ordered it from Amazon, plus a can of Toyota clear coat.

Reggie1 and Yakim: If buying any color I wanted, Atomic Silver and White were my other preferred colors, but Nebula Gray was in the running too because of how the front grill looks against this color. I definitely did not want a dark color like the Blue or Black after past experiences keeping them looking good week to week. So all my preferred colors are quite similar to Toyota and other brand similar colors. So the deal on this LX and it being a color I liked, despite its "commonness", was irresistible. :-)

Man with 1300 miles, I'm curious what the owner purchased and traded this car in for?

Congrats on the new ride, hope you got a good deal out of it as that looks to be a solid looking car!

Husband bought as a surprise Christmas gift for his wife. After she drove it for a few weeks, she decided she wanted a white car so traded-in this LX for a new one, in white, from the same dealer.
