On 27 August 2025, I traded a white 2019 LC200, w about 35k miles, into Lexus of Manchester in New Hampshire. They listed it for 72k, and it was sold within a week. Does anyone know who bought it? I would like to offer to buy it back.
Who bought my baby?

Just curious, what did you trade it in for?
Ah man, could've helped out someone on the forum, get a trade in offer then offer it for sale for $2000 more or so, you win and one of us win. Dealers don't need to get richer.

In my state, we only pay sales tax on the difference between the new car and the trade, so there is incentive to trade.
Forgot about that, my apologies.
There's also the convenience of dealer trade in. When I listed my LC on here, I got laughs at my asking price from some members (who ironically did not even own low mile 200s during peak covid 
). A few calls to local dealers and I was offered within 10% of my asking price, which when I listed, I figured would be the the negotiating range from my asking price on the forum anyways.
Anyways, you might be able to do a search via the VIN to see where the vehicle currently resides, approx. mileage, accident history.. all things that might help make the determination if you really want to try to chase that exact vehicle down.

Typically the case in most, if not all states.
Carmax offered $42,000 for my 2020 TRD pro Tundra, the same exact year/mileage on their website is $55,995. They're making a killing off us
Try googling the vin, you should be able to at least see which dealer auction it went through
Is the LX 700h overtrail not meeting your expectations or you want to have both?

The engine on the LX is amazing. It is a rocketship. On the downside, however, the lack of tailgate is really bad for me. When you get to a ski day and have to sit on a dirty bumper instead of a clean tailgate for putting on boots, you miss the 200. The 200 feels far more spacious inside. The LX has a hump in the floor for the middle seat of the second row, and I have three kids. Somebody lost their foot space. I think it is because of the hybrid. Also, the trunk is half occupied by the battery. I may keep both, but I want my white 200 back.
That hump is even on the LC 300, which doesn't offer hybrid. I believe it's a long transmission issues.
I had a choice between a white LC300 and the latest generation LX 570, I chose the second one, and I don't regret it.
I hope you find your baby back.

The 300-series disappoints me. In Toyota's effort to share more commonality across their lineup, the 4R, LC250, GX grew up and matured. At the cost of the 300-series that got pinched. And the tailgate snub as the ultimate betrayal!!?
Hope the OP finds their baby or a worthy equivalent.

What did you get on the trade in?
Not in a 2-row. I know you already have the car, but just for future reference to others, if you do not need the 3-row, just order a 2row and be a happy camper like me. I traded my 200HE for the 300OT (2row) and there is nothing on earth that would make me want to go back.
