Bought a GS4 from auction
Well for fun last week i went to a car auction up in Longisland with a few friends. I didnt attend to buy anything but there was this nice '00 spectra blue GS4 with 33k miles for 26k. Looked brand new, no accident reports , test drove it seemed perfectly fine so i figured it'd be a steal so i took it right away. Only bummer is there was no option of financing so i had to pay up front. Now i know auctions are a bit shady but what do you guys think? I'll be taking it to my local lexus dealer for a 30k mile service this weekend.

EV ftw!!!
Congratulations!!!! 
I wish I had done what you did! Sounds like you got it a steal too!!
When I bought my 99 GS400, I could not find any spectra blue GS400's. I only searched the used lots of new car dealers though. I ended up buying my second choice color - Alpine silver.........

Sounds nice, and the only shady thing about auctions is you have make any repairs on your own, which is the same thing the dealer does! So overall, you should be just fine, and thats REALLY low mileage!
