LC FS in Beaumont, TX - WTF is it so dirty? (1 Viewer)

[gruve]

Shopping for a LC in the sub 50 range. I already have a 570, which the wife will drive. I found this one in Beaumont and it looks like somebody's shop vac blew up in it. Super dusty inside.

I'm in Austin, so I'm not sure if it's just REALLY dusty there or if this thing lived on the beach somewhere and this is all sand

It's not difficult to get super dusty...but what is difficult to believe is that they didn't even do a basic cleaning before taking marketing photos!

It begs the question: What else do they ignore at that dealership?

 

[gruve]

my thoughts exactly

 

[NLScooby]

Holy crap! And that's a dealer! That is insane- did they leave all the windows down for a week during a dust storm?!

I looked at one at a dealer out here (made an appointment to see it) and there was still junk -like trash) in the back! They knew I was coming....it wouldn't have taken but three minutes to empty that stuff out - I wasn't expecting it to be detailed.

That same thing happened to me when I tested my LX 570 for the first time. Granted it had just come in, but I acted like it was trashed. I think it helped me get a better price, so I guess they did me a favor.

At first glance...that looks a lot like flood damage...

Looks like either off road fun with the windows down, or it's missing the cabin air filter (and still went off roading), or weather striping is crushed and letting in dirty.

Or no one cared to clean it, which could mean no one cared to maintain it. I don't know man, I would definitely go through that one in depth if they can't even keep the interior clean for online pictures to sell it.

That internet sales associate needs a talking to.

I would seriously pass on it. If they have Zero respect to sell it, they don't deserve my hard earned money.

 

[gruve]

Yeah passing for sure on that one. I thought maybe the same thing on water damage

 

[CLHickman]

Yeah, the residue is uniform throughout the vehicle. From the engine bay to the inside cab there is that "dust" which looks a lot like a vehicle that was left to dry. Anyway, passing was a good call.

Looks like that truck has been in a body shop for a week with the windows down.

I wonder if it was a ranch truck, riding with the windows down on a ranch will do that also

 

[PLROD]

looks like body shop dust to me, typical when sitting in a body shop with window/s open; notice the new mats in the back and the mpg since last fueling, car has been sitting around for about 2 months based on the info/pics presented.

Yup, the guys probably left the windows open so they could enjoy the great sound system while they worked on other vehicles.

 

[Angelo1]

Nah, it's definitely a farm/ranch truck. My Grandpas trucks always looked like that from his ranch.

Beaumont is a dirty grimy place. No surprise here.
