Default So Many Certified SC430's in the Dealer Showroom

Live in the Chicago area and just brought my 2008 SC430 out of winter hibernation. Stopped by my Lexus dealer for a regular service and the show room must had 6 or 7 certified used SC430's. I was wondering if this is a function of it being the last model year or ...? Is this happening in your part of the world too? Just curious.

good does this mean the weather is going to finally hold up for us

I think its just the market and they probably purchased them wholesale/auction since it is the perfect time for the car. I would venture to say that is 90% of it where the rest may be trades.

Cant wait for some Chicago Meets. I plan to talk to the dealer about a summer meet. Their new facility is pretty nice and a good size parking lot for all of us

Time for some shirts!!!!

I think that there are many used examples of the SC on the market because for their class its not a very competitve car. Owners will flip the car and go get a vette, 645, or even a used SL. It also losses value like an american car. its one of the nicest Japanese cars I have ever been in, but these are facts
