i just found a used 01 GS430 with 8k miles for sale for $41995. it's balck/black. it didn't have the navigation system but had everything else. is it just me or is that a really good price?

please people, help me out on this and tell me if it's as good a deal as i think it is, before it gets sold.
oh, it didn't have the mark levinson sys either.

ZZ, is it selling from the lexus dealer or an independant seller?

well, that's about invoice for new. what would you pay for a demo with 8k on it. if this is owner driven then it's probably even better. if you don't want it pass it on to me...

zz,

well, a brand new gs430 equipped as you described(called premium pkg) can be had here in LA for ~$45100. i know over in the east coast, the prices are a bit higher as we have more competition here.

so it really depends on how you look at/from what perspective. as D-man said, is it from a lexus dealer/private party/some used car lot?

i would only get it if it were from a lex dealer/private party and try to obtain all the info such as previous ownership and 1st 5k service record. the reason being that i have heard too many odonmeter tempering at independent car lots-too scary for cars cost this much.

the most i would pay for is $41k +fees. to ME, IMHO, i would take a new one at this point for price and new car financing at $45100. but the new car pricing over at dc might be higher. is this the color you want? remember, you are spending over $40k on a car, so the least you can do is to have a color you like, right?

as you read in the open forum, new gs430 sales are down big time, so the prices have to come down too.

you can actuallly have a brand new one shipped to you for ~$46200. remember, when the car is registered as the one you are interested, it loses 10% of value-no matter how low the miles are. that is how i come up w/$41k is my bottom line.

take a test drive, and if it is from a private party, have a good tech guy check out the car. if it does not work out, let me know if you like a new one. i can be reached via PM box, or

the car WAS at a private dealer. they did have the record for the 5k service and the car was spottless.

you guys noticed how i said "WAS"?
i went back today and it was sold. i can't believe it, they had it for less than 24 hours.
oh well, i really wanted the nav sys. cause i have it on my gs3 and i don't think i can live without it. hehehe, it's nice not having to ask for directions, ever. so my search goes on...

thanks anyway guys.
