for 28K it better have ML too. you can get 350s for around the same price fully loaded but they have a little more miles (usually around 30k)

also sounds like you have a 3rd party extended warranty as lexus will not offer an extended warranty if you are out of the 4yr/50k warranty. better read your warranty to make sure when the date starts. its usually from the time the car is first registered not from the date you bought it.

Considering the mileage, I think you got a very good deal, especially since the 06 looks almost the same as 11. In July, I bought an 07 350AWD w/18000 for 28,000, but no certified or extended warranty. I used to always buy new cars, but recently started watching for low mileage used.

too much for a 5 year old car...... especially in socal, where all the best deals are.

but at least it's in good shape. 13000 mi is like nothing. probably not even a chip in the paint

considering the mileage i'd say you might have overpaid a bit, but dont dwell on it just enjoy the car

I say if your happy then its a great deal To me when buying anything the way you feel is priceless and worth so much more then stressing if you could have gotten a better deal.

taking mileage into account. 28k otd would be a great deal. The warranty alone is worth at least 2k. 28k +ttl still isn't too bad for a car with those miles.

ok I'm guessing you got a certified lexus car which means you have added some years to the warranty which brought it to 5 years, and just to let you know every certified lexus comes with brand new floor mats. so regarding all of that I would say that you may have overpayed unless you got ML in the car which I'm guessing not, I'd say you only overpayed by roughly $1,500 which is a little to much, just my 2 cents.
