Re: Psssst - Hey mister - wanna buy a Lexus?

I'm curious. What kind of cheap balding tires were on there that
lasted only 25K miles? I thought no true luxury cars would use junk
tires.

$175 oil change? Is that a synthetic oil change good for 15,000-20,000
miles, like BMW and MB? Of course you wouldn't pay a cent if it's a
BMW -- maintenance is free during the first 4 years/50,000 miles,
including brake pads and wiper blades.

See if a BMW or MB dealer will take that sorry POS LS 430 and give you
sufficient residual value for it.

My condolences.
