I believe Lexus actually provides the loaners to the dealership for a discount, and then the car is sold as a demo/program vehicle, so the dealership's cost is pretty minimal.

But I could be wrong.

luxury motors isnt one of those LEXUS OF xxxx CITY or BMW of xxxx CITY is it?
i'm pretty sure the real dealers are better at making things less obvious..

i dont mind seeing a Courtesy Car on the back of the car..not like it's killing anyone.

No markers of any kind on the Lexus of Tucson loaners. The local BMW dealer, however, has rear window markings on its loaners which are usually Honda Civic sedans. Why do I love my Lexus dealer?

I really don't mind the marking on loaner cars, i mean a car is a car, even when i get a cobalt camry ect. for a rental car, im just glad they gave me something. Only time i had a problem was when they gave us a chevy aveo, then i flipped and ended up with a gs350 haha
