things change so fast in current climate that it's hard to keep up but i agree, i'd pull the trigger if that is the car you want.

Thats a great price, make sure and do a carfax (not 100% accurate) to make sure nothing is wrong with it.

Thanks for the replies. The thing is that the "tire pressure monitor light" is on. Is this a common issue with the gs350? The wheels are stock 17" Lexus wheels.

If you like the car and it's clean, go for it. This car is worth ~35-37k. Even if encounter any issues, it is covered under warranty. With the price that good, CarFax is a must.

That could be one of four things:

1. Tire pressure is low. Easy to check and correct.

2. At least one of the TPMS sensors is broken. That should be easy and inexpensive to diagnose and correct. Each sensor should cost less than $100 to replace (part and labor).

3. TPMS sensors are not registered with the car. Again, easy to check and correct.

4. The entire TPMS monitoring system (receiver) is malfunctioning. Probably somewhat expensive.

I would disagree. That's essentially a 2 year old car (given 26K miles) being sold at 20% discount to the new car invoice (about $43K in my calculations). I think that's expensive given the GS depreciation rates.
