thanks for the suggestion...i did that...also looked at cars.com, carsdirect, carmax..etc...

I wanted to get someone's actual experience with an 07 since those prices are usually (except car max) the "sticker" price...wanted to know what people have been getting them OTD for... =)

thanks Nashbar, i have been there as well...i guess my question is...how accurate is the TMV to what people are actually paying...I think Cars.com or another website has a similar "actual price" model....just didn't know how accurate they were...

The TMV for used cars in Edmunds is pretty close, their TMV price for new cars is way off sometimes.

The way i look at it is, if you price it up on Edmunds / KBB and you can get the car for less than what it says, you got yourself a good deal. The bottom line is the dealer need to be motivated to sell for the price to drop so timing is everything.

Absoultely. I agree. This is my first car to be bought on my own. (Dad was nice enough to assist on the first one...)..so i wanna take my time and make sure i get what i want at a reasonably good deal. I am looking at a end of july purchase date...so no rush on my part. =) Thanks guys...

Still interested in hearing from so. cali GS owners, both CPO and non-CPO... =) It's VERY tempting to NOT get an 08 gs350...... i realllly want one..but it may not be in my cards. =/
