2021 Lexus ES — rebuilt-title price looks tempting

Compare apples to apples or you'll get spun. GAP, paint, and nitrogen are optional until you run the 2021 Lexus ES numbers without them. Do that before you talk monthly again. This is from a 2021 Lexus ES in Queens with 85,000 miles. Was this after sitting overnight? PPI guy I use is booked until next week, so I'm waiting.

OP update: I got two written quotes on the 2021 Lexus ES and the out-the-door gap is bigger than the ads made it look. I screenshotted the quote for later.

I'd want competing paper, not competing stories. Keep sale price, trade, and financing split on the 2021 Lexus ES so a “good payment” cannot bury a worse deal. If they balk, that's your answer. This is from a 2021 Lexus ES in Queens with 85,000 miles. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. I'll post OTD once I have two apples-to-apples sheets.

I'd slow the salesperson down here. In Queens, insurance quotes flipped a 2021 Lexus ES comparison for me more than the sale price did. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. Make the next action something you can finish this week. If the title is messy I'm out, full stop.

Hard-won lesson from my last deal: GAP, paint, and nitrogen are optional until you run the 2021 Lexus ES numbers without them. Do that before you talk monthly again. On “rebuilt-title price looks tempting,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Take it or leave it — that's what I'd do. If they get vague again I'm shopping the deal elsewhere.

PPI is scheduled. I'm not depositing until I see the 2021 Lexus ES notes. If they only talk monthly I'm walking.
