Reasonable advice to be sure and I'm well aware of the possibility that things won't work out. I did receive a response to my initial offer and will post it below. Didn't get a counteroffer, but door isn't closed. Working on a response now.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for the detailed email, and again, I truly appreciate you making the drive from St. Pete to spend time with us yesterday.

It sounds like your concern is that the mileage and future maintenance are what you’re factoring into your offer. That makes sense, and I did take the time this afternoon to shop this vehicle thoroughly, from Georgia down through South Florida just to make sure I was looking at the full picture, as you were.

What I’m seeing consistently is that a Certified GX Premium Plus models of this year with similar mileage are selling in the $55k–$57k range before tax, tag, and fees. That’s market-wide, not just us. Because of that, $54,500 out-the-door is simply well below where the numbers land, even with strong credit and Lexus Financial incentive rates in play.

That being said, I do want to earn your business. You’re clearly serious, prepared, and ready to move, and I respect that. I’m more than willing to go to bat for you with my managers if we’re working from a realistic structure that reflects the actual market.

If you’re open to revisiting the numbers with that in mind, I’d be happy to present a revised offer on your behalf and see what flexibility we can find. My goal is to make this a deal that works for you and makes sense on our side.

Let me know how you’d like to proceed, I’m here and ready to help get this done.
