The first owner of the car decided to take all the mats specific to the car. The car comes with a set of winter rubber mats, summer carpet mats and the trunk carpet. The dealer gave me a set of carpets mats but nothing else.
I was looking through my glove box and found the old owner's email address. Would you politely contact them to suggest buying the mats back? Pretty sure they have no real good use for them as they are car specific.
Kijiji has a guy selling a set of same rubber mats for $120....probably going to do the Weather Tech route which is $229 but I save $$ down the line as they are pretty awesome at keeping salt off the carpet.
Would you feel freaked out or offended if someone that bought your old car contacted you?
wwcsido?

That can be arranged. They didn't change where "home" is on the GPS. I should go and just take them back.

buys 38k car. crying over winter floor mats
Agreed.
I wouldn't recommend contacting the previous owner. Instead, ask the dealer if they could throw in a set of winter mats. If they don't I'd move on and pick up a set elsewhere and enjoy the car.

The kind of scumbag who takes the floormats out of a car when they trade it in is not the kind of person you want to waste your time on.
Go WeatherTech and never look back.
I don't think they were scumbag steving the new owner it was the dealer which they wanted to get the most out of who was probably trying to hose the guy on trade in.
When I trade in my cars I take off everything that is easy and return it to stock. I keep the car very basic because the dealer isn't giving me a decent dollar like a person buying private would. Most of the time a dealer unloads the car on a wholesaler anyways.

I looked at the US & Can site, they are within $10 so probably through the website. I have a friend who works at a dealer, I am asking if he can get cheaper.
If I get WT, I will keep them in all year. They are pretty awesome in keeping salt and moisture off the interior.

The guy's email name is "car expert". Probably works at the dealer or something.
The guys' original ad said $100 for both sets....after I emailed him, he jacked his price to $180. Eff that noise. Weather tech it is.

It wasn't there. I noted I want 2 mats. The trunk has an extra carpet. On the purchase agreement, I noted I wanted 2 sets. They got me one and told me to get a set of rubber ones off Kijiji and they will pay me back. (they shoulda just got it for me. LOL)
It isnt a deal killer...all this started as I wanted to see what everyone else would do.

Stock lexus rubber mats aren't very good for winter anyways - weather tech your life up. The stock ones are more of a 3 season mat
