Sold 1 family lexus before, 3 years back. Very fast offload at rather good price. But i doubt as good as the Mercs. Lexus is more refined in driving dynamics.

 

 

T2 advise me to get mercs for better resale and i went for it.

 

 

My C&C bought, serviced, maintained and low km MB last time oso got dealer lowball trade in price.

 

And that is no other than C&C's own Republic Auto......

 

I sold it to another dealer for a whopping $15k more.

I had another car that's due for scrap as a trade in so couldn't lowball me.

 

So all this 'overtrade' is BS one. Lowball u by over $10k to give a $10k over trade. Essentially one is buying at their list price....

Hi,

I'm a new IS250 (Year 2010) owner here.

 

Does anyone know where I can get the credit card sized smart key here?

Depends on how hungry the dealer is clear that particular model. The AD can usually do magic to your car resale value if you are looking at their eol models

Actually they are not copycat, Peter Schreyer whom used to work at audi's design dept has jumped ship to Kia & Hyundai to be their chief designer.
