Hi there would someone that has time be willing to test drive a car for me at a dealership?

I will owe you big time thank you!! If anyone is available I will pm you my cell to discuss it.

8709 Daffodil St Houston TX

Thanks!

Does it really look bad?

It's Auto Envoy

Yes they are open on saturday.

It's actually a daily driver Lexus I'm trying to get.
I have a C5 corvette as a weekend car.

I can compensate anyone that has time

I can go look at it, but I don't know anything about a Lexus. You really can't find an IS300 closer to you?

It's about 10 min from my office, but I won't be there until Tuesday. If you can wait until then, send me a PM with some detail, and I'll swing by at lunch.

Have you ever seen this car lot?

I can leave a non refundable deposit of 1k and hold it until you see it on Tuesday but Im scared to even do that.

Thank you sir.

Thanks again for going
