Hello guys.

I found one by local dealer(they sell lease offs)
2008 Gs350 with 16600miles on it. No accident
AWD
ML & Parking assistance
Navi
Asking $31000.00 without tax and title.
Is it good buy?
Please help me or any advise is welcome
Thank you

Yeah its a great price, i'd make sure visually of any defects, even though it says no accident. Not a bad car and not a bad price I would.

agree w jtrue.

Also, you really need AWD in TX? Save the dough and go RWD?

It does snow, and ice in Dallas several weeks out of the year. Being a rear drive vehicle, it's too dangerous in those conditions. So, it's best to have AWD unless you have a backup vehicle during those times.

Default Thank you and I ve learned alot

Thank you guys, I checked the carfax and it's pretty clean.
I opened and check under the hood with mechanic that i know and he said it's looks like this car is accident free.
Last year when it snowed in TX, it's not too often but it's very dangerous when it snows. Therefore I want AWD GS incase of snow and icy roads.
My English is not great so please forgive me and thank you for advise.
This site is great

I am in Dallas too. The AWD models I have seen have been bought off auction from other states, i.e. Park Place Grapevine has 2 which are from Pennsylvania.

Personally, I would check for any repainting of the body (with a gauge), check that all VIN numbers are there (the trunk one is not on the trunk lid; it's hidden), and really do a full pre-purchase inspection. Clean Carfax means little.

Which dealer is this? I have been to some of the smaller ones (non Lexus ones), and wasn't impressed with their inventory so I would be careful.
