I thought I got my 98 GS400 (with 35K miles) for a steal ($28k), but now I think I got ripped off. 
Make sure everyhing is good to go with there car (aka no salvage or major body work) and if it's all clear.....BUY IT!!!

I say YES that's a good deal.
I just bought a 99 GS400 and paid $27 with 56K miles with nav, but I then got the dealership (not a Lexus one) to pay me close to $2,000 to pay off my lease.
If the car is in good shape then definitely go for it. It's worth every cent!

I'll say....that's a great deal. Private party or dealer? Curious because I ran across one yesterday with double the mileage for about the same price- $24,700 at a Mazda dealer.

A Honda dealership. They honestly had no clue what they had on their hands. I called a Lexus dealership to ask prices and they quoted me $32 and higher. It took me a while. I could of purchased the same car BUT no Navi but it had nice rims but they wanted 31,7.
I think I made out on the deal. They never asked for any info on the payoff of my lease so I could of said I owed more and they wouldn't of known.
It's hard to find a 400 for a good price. They truly are a dime a dozen.

oh the reason the dealer sold it cheap because they had it for about 3 months in their lot and they wanted to get rid of it. It was just in time for me when they reduced the price. This car definitely worth it then..thanks guys

I know! Go figure. What kind of Honda could ever compare to a LEXUS!!!!!
I never realized how clueless dealership salesmen are when they are selling something other than the brand at the dealership. It may not be as good as buying from a Lexus dealer but as long as the car is solid than what the heck.
