I agree. I did not have a 'certified' GS either, yet the car was flawless when i bought it, a 2006, at 2 years old and 20,000 miles. And I had plenty of warranty work done, including resurfacing the rotors, the usual dashboard rattles, and all the recalls of course. Even roadside assistance when I stupidly killed the battery. Of course now the GS is 5 year old, and there is no more protection so I expect to get hosed when something horribly complicated and expensive goes wrong. At least if I am to believe consumer reports who specifically rates the 2006 GS AWD with poor reliability. Idiots.

Keep in mind this car is in its Sixth model year now, and was never very popular compared to the 5 series, Infinity M, E-class etc. Don't even haggle. Just tell them $30 large, cash, take it or leave it. No one else is going to walk into the showroom with more money for this specific car.

I would offer all in cash but I only have 20k cash

I'd offer 30k... No AWD and no Mark Levinson is a deal breaker.

ok i'm going tomorrow to check the car out. I will start at 30k OTD and the highest I will pay is 32k OTD sound good?

dunnojack

true that. there isn't a high demand for this car.
so you shouldn't act like you really want the car either.


it looks like it has ML. I can barely see the logo there.

Naw that car ain't got ML, but like I said before low ball them first, and if not just walk out. The other thing to see is if they will install stuff for free and it is a RWD car so it is a buyable car where it is located. If you have 20K its still enough to make them see that you want the car. The true deal breaker is the no ML but that should make the car right around 31,000K which is reasonable since the car is certified, which in my opinion I would keep, and I though the warranty covered most of the same items covered by factor!

I got my car from South Bay Lexus. Who did you deal with? You might have better purchasing power getting a brand new one. More trunk money, incentives, etc.
