Default Man trades Bentley for three Lexus cars!

Someone I know had a Bentley Flying Spur (gorgeous rocket ship) but was apparently unhappy at how the dealer treated him and how the car went through tires very quickly.

So on a whim he decided to visit the local Lexus dealer.

He traded the Bentley for an LS460L, an SC430, and an IS!

Awesome Any chance of providing pics ?

I don't understand why you(& some others) like to use "an" with cars even though the name of the cars do not start with a vowel

They do start with a vowel, though.. think how you'd spell the word "L"

"ell"?

What about "S"?.... "ess"

The pronunciation of those letters starts with a vowel.

I'd take 1 Lexus, and then save/invest the rest of the money.

I guess I'm the odd ball here. I'd take the single bently over the 3 lexus

Though i wouldn't mind trading a bentley for an LS600h + LX570

I suppose, though, if you owned a Bentley, then you might already have more than enough money saved and invested than you know what to do with, or at least enough that another 80 grand isn't going to matter.

Hey... maybe the SC was for his wife and the IS was for his kid or something...

I do have to say I have a very hard time imagining buying a new SC right now, though... that car is really starting to show its age and I'm pretty surprised that we've heard very little about its replacement yet...

I do that too.
That's because when you say it, it sounds right: "an LS" vs. a "LS".

I'd trade the bentley for any 3 other cars too. I don't need to be thaaat flashy.
