Default 2007 GS350 - Glacier Frost Mica *price check*

Hi all,

I came across a 2007 GS350 *Glacier Frost Mica*/black interior, and pretty much loaded except for ML sound. The car just turned 28k miles, and the dealer is asking 30k. What would be a fair price out the door for this vehicle? At the current sticker, i would be close to 35k once tax, title and tags are paid, which seems a bit high to me. Thoughts?


Thanks!

That's a good price. Here in CA, at a dealer you can barely get that espically with that low miles. In So cali, dealer will probably sell that CPO easily for $33k and up.

Agreed. That price seems pretty damn good. Even so, if that's what they're asking, they'll go lower.

Thanks for the response guys. I'm trying to get to 29-30k max out the door. The car has been on their lot for a couple weeks, so i'm hoping if it sits for another week or so i'll get it to that price.

I'd say that price is legit.. I'd swoop on that... and it's the best color choice.

Which dealership is it?

30 sounds like a fair asking price. In January, dealer was asking 30681 for my 06 CPO
GS300 with close to 40K on the odo. I got the price reduced but there is still tax, tag and a dealer fee. I love the milage I am getting with the 3.0 litre. I am averaging 25.676 in mixed driving including using air conditioning on warmer days. Longer trips on the hwy are yielding me into the 30's which is fantastic. I don't have the ML or nav.

G'luck with that 30k OTD and they will let it sit longer than that to get their asking price. A car being on the lot for a couple weeks even months is not a big deal.

Go to Edmunds.com and find out the TMV, then work with that.

I'm well aware of the edmunds/kbb values, however cash is still king in this economy, and the beating Toyota products are taking right now gives me no reason to pay bluebook for a vehicle.

The 06 GS430 is priced at 28k, and has 20k miles. Fully loaded as well, except it had the Mark Levinson sound, and its in SoCal.

That is reasonable. Check with your credit union. They are usually turds about what you should offer the dealership because they want you to low ball them. I bet they will tell you a number around that one.
