For me new was the only option..i really wanted the 08 due to the minor changes. I dont regret it..i know i could have saved thousands if i picked up a 07 instead, but then i wouldnt have an Opaline Pearl GS with blinkers on the mirrors

yeah same here, when I was looking for a GS, the dealer had a new 07 and a few 08 on the lot. The turn signal mirror and the new front air dam is too nice to pass up for $1000 less.

I was actually not in the market to buy a car now, cause i ws going to buy a house, but this dumb idiot grampa plowed in to my car, causing it to become totaled. so now i have to invest in a car, and hold of on my initial plan, so i wanted to save some money and get a 07, but your right, the 08 has some nice features,
can i add the mirrors on an 07??

EyeKutr thanks for the listings, i saw the bruce lee add, hahahahaha, and the other one but the white one is going for 36 w/ 28kmiles. thats alot for 36 considering others are going for that price with 12-15k miles. i dunno what there smoking but its way to high. Ill call bruce today and see what he has to say.

Okay, if I were to get an 08, lexus.com says 44k + say 6 for packages, its now 50k, what can i get the dealer to go down to.
edmunds says that its 38k plus 2 for ML navi so its now 40k invoice is that about right...

OR you could get a honda accord and have your house... I'm just saying.... :-)

Also... I got my brand new 08 GS for 46K + tax/title/registration. Fully loaded (Nav/Levinson). I think that's a pretty good deal, I have yet to hear about anyone getting any lower

[QUOTE]

Forget about adding the mirrors, it will be cheaper to buy the 08 than to add the mirror.

to be honest, you are delaying your plan of getting a home coz' you have to get a "new" car? that doesn't make sense, car is depreciating asset. buy a cheap beater for now if anything, and get the house.

mirror? with money you can do anything. like around 1400 for the mirrors

for 08, i am pretty sure you can get around invoice price. for a 52k car (with nav and ML), you can probably get it for around 45-46k
