One thing to keep in mind though it's tougher to sell with a lien on it. I myself came across an SC400 that I wanted but the seller owed money on it. Since I didn't want to hassle with going to bank and waiting for title transfer I moved on. Good luck

that would depend on the mileage, condition, and options.
could list as high as 28 or more and work down. i guess as long as you get over 22,500 you'll be better off than turning it into the dealer.

i bought mine with 35k miles, AWD, nav, levinson, 8 mo remaining on factory warranty with avg body condition at 26 or so from a dealer.

Basically "certified pre-owned" means it has a warranty to 100,000 miles. I've heard from a salesman this is worth about $1000.00. If you bought the GS with CPO from Lexus and if that warranty is transferable...it should bring you a little more coin.

The CPO warranty isn't transferable

FYI - all the above post are correct regarding your dilema. understand that if you do a voluntary repo you credit will take a ding and they will come after you for the rest. If you turn it in and pay later you will satisfy the loan, but it will still ding your credit. it will show on your credit report as settled. you want your loan to show as paid in full. sounds like you will have to sell privately and a personal loan on the balance. either way your screwed. sorry dude

Watch out for that! Insurance company is smarter now. If your car is running and it's stolen, they may not pay anything at all. New law or something like that.

Its the same engine, just a lighter car. Some people would consider the IS350 a down grade from the GS350.
