I think this is price is pretty fair. This is what the dealership was selling the model without NAV/ML in my area for. Then again this is a stealership. I could be wrong, but they are probably making at least 3k on this sale.

Looks EXACTLY like my car. It's a good deal. Just for fun, I suggest running a CarFax report to make sure it hasn't been in an accident. Makes you wonder why the original owner didn't want it.
EDIT: I see there is one record in the CarFax database, which is kind of unusual for a 3 month old car. You would have to pay to actually see the record.

looks like he removed the engine cover to install the after market intake
I am having a bit of doubt on this, with that little miles, he already put after market exhaust and intake on those. Wonder why he got rid of the car
is the 53000 OTD price? or before tax and license.
if it's before tax and all that, then the deal is not that great, i paid a bit over 1k over that price for a brand new one in CA.

Well guys, the car is for my dad. I can see the engine cover has been modified to fit the intake but it looks like they chopped off the wrong portion, the part that probably doesn't need to be chopped.
But as for the carfax record... theres not much info?
My dad told me he went to dealer and test drove the car. He was told that the car belonged to one of the managers at the Lexus dealer. He modified it w/ intake and exhaust, tint too. I'm not really sure but a lot of times, car dealership managers take cars off the lot, drive it for a while as their own car, then hand it back to the dealer for sale.
I do like the car a lot for it being Black / Black w/ navi. I believe sticker price for a new GS 460 like that is well over 60grand and either way.
On a side note, I did an Edmunds TMV pricing. Looks like avg buyers are paying 55.5g for this car new before taxes I believe.
So for this used car, how much SHOULD I be asking for b4 taxes or OTD? We will also be doing a trade-in (the car we trading in probably not worth much, maybe 2-3g lol)
