A little known fact that ignores every single asset on the planet except of course.....the ultra impossible to find Lexus ISF.

Just because this real example of an actual sales that took place in "reality," doesn't mean "ah heck no's muh car is worth way more, I mean I owe way more so it is obviously worth more!!" is incorrect.


OK kidding aside, but recently there have been a lot of 2012s very low miles hitting the $40k or less mark. I imagine that means $37k negotiated.

I might fly out to see a 2013 soon. Used car values as a whole are dropping for the first time since 2008 and are expected to drop 6% this year alone without normal depreciation.

I know this only applies to cars that are not the Lexus ISF, but still.

That's like super car production levels. Not saying it's a super car though. Typically supply and demand would have the cost of these things skyrocketed but Lexus screwed up by sticking the F on anything it could. It's kind of hard to have demand for something that no knows about or thinks it's something else like a rebadged Lexus with a higher price tag.

Mostly with mid 20K to mid 40K miles. A few USB's, whites and Grays.

Not a bad time to buy.

Just in comparison to the number of Civics and Camrys made/sold in ONE year.

2013 Nebula Gray Pearl but with white interior......higher price, worth to negotiation on if you dig it:

2013 White on black......86 days on the market (they must love staring at it), a bit higher then what you want to spend, but maybe they are willing to cut you a deal.....worth a shot, CA car and it's a 2013.

2012 Nebula Gray Pearl on black, Florida car, they are a bit higher. Aside from flying in and testing, I would tell them you can pay their asking price if it includes an enclosed trailer transport (which would cost you about 1300 to 1600)
