lexus is250 - used price fixing? - flunky

Just looking at used examples of the Is 250 convertible on autotrader, all 30 are in the hands of Lexus dealers, cheapest at £30k. You can get a new one from drivethedeal for £4k more than an 09 plate with 20k miles or £2k more than a 10 plate with 10k miles.

Seems like an unreasonably low level of depreciation - are they trying to stimulate the new market by holding onto the very thin supply of these (you would think) unsellable-at-the-price used examples?

What are you trying to say do you want to buy one if so go to an agents and make them an offer,if its just an observation its meaningless most second hand cars of that age and value are in the hands of main dealers and the price is law of supply and demand as it is with any product .
