2001 Lexus RX 300 for $15,895 Parents Won't Buy?

Q: OK! soo there is this 2001 Lexus rx 300 for ONLY 15,000 dollars. it's in great shape. it's at the Lexus dealership and it is a certified used car, our current car ( 2004 Chrysler Sebring that we kinda want to get rid of ) will get us $5,425 if we trade it in (according to Kelly Blue book) my dad thinks it would be cool if we had the Lexus, but my mom is saying no still. HELP tell me how i can get my mom to say yes! i'm 12 years old and i LOVE Lexus' RX 300

A: Ok, let me get this straight, u want ur parents to buy a seven year old car. I find it highly unlikely that the car is certified. Since the only way they certify a car is if its under 50,000 miles & must be one model old. The RX 300 is 2 models old. The 330 came out in 04 and the 350 came out in 07. Another thing to look at is, the Sebring was obviously still within its warranty. Parts & labor for a Sebring do not cost as much as a Lexus. There are so many things to consider, but I do not see an upside to buying an old car because it is a Lexus. If u own a Lexus that is that old no one is going to care. Its not like u can show it off. People are either going to think that the car is paid off and ur parents are frugal. Or they're going to think that ur parents got this car to try to impress someone, but they're not impressing anyone. Its a great car, but still a dinosaur. There are quite a few things that I guarantee will need to be replaced. I would stick to something a little more in ur parents range, your mom is a very smart person.
