I am leasing a Lexus IS300. I had it for two weeks, and then like a ***** I crashed it head on into a big tree.
Originally, the damage was estimated at $14,000. After 4 months went by, and all was said and done, it had cost over $26,000. The insurance company paid for everything.
I was told at every dealership I go to, they will not take this car because they are almost positive it has a salvage title, and they tell me my best bet is to wait until the lease is up and just turn it in. When I was buying my Viper, they told me that I would most likely have to pay Lexus more after I turned it in because frame damage will have made the car less valuable and they are going to charge me for that damage. I have come to terms with this.
I just did a carfax report, and it gave my Lexus (that has wind noise because the doors weren't adjusted properly) a buy back guarentee. It says it has never been in any accident, not minor nor major. Yeah ok.
So how does that buy back guarentee work exactly? heh
