Hi, I am in the process of purchasing a used 07 gs350 awd. the vehicle has 73000 miles and i am getting it a decent price" less than 22k" it has maint records but not complete, look as if the oil was changed every 4 to 5k miles.It look as if no one has ever sat in the back seat. autocheck rated this automobile a 93. In your opinion as members would you purchase this vehicle, also any opinion on extended warranty, are the cars as reliable as my 94 sc300? any help would be greatly appreciated.

i think its a good deal, might be able to get a little cheaper, but i guess it depends on the seller. i bought mine at an auction, 2008 gs350, 53000 miles for $22,000. hope this helps

GS2100

plz list the cars options Navi, parking sensors , rear shade etc:

also this GS350 is out of warranty (6years/70k)? so if I were you I would take the vin to a lexus dealer advise them that you plan to purchase and see if they will pull the cars history or at least verify that major recalls were done.

Good luck.

It has nav, rear cam and ipod adapt. NO M/L soundsystem. I tried to talk too dealer but since I am not the owner they would not give me any info on the vehicle. carfax checks out well, the person b4 me had it serviced at a Lexus dealership. At looking at carfax and autocheck, the vehicle was serviced at almost 5k intervals, also how can one tell which models was affected with recall for valve springs?

call your local lexus dealer and ask for service depatment. ask them if there are any recalls for that vehicle. they will ask you for the VIN

I believe all the '07 350s were in the valve spring recall -- I know all the '08 460s I looked at were. If it was a one owner car then Lexus likely got in touch with them and it was done. Are you dealing with the previous owner directly or is it at a dealer?

I am dealing with a dealer. Also I used carfax and autocheck and they showed the vehicle being serviced at a lexus dealership for normal maint.

Its a decent deal for a AWD loaded with records.

Yea looks like a good deal, you see what another member paid for his at an auction with 20k less, so you figure his at a dealer would ve been a couple k more

I would assume the valve springs were done. I personally upped my budget and bought a lower miles unit -- miles affect e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. Keep in mind this car you are looking at will have no warranty (powertrain, etc.) left from Lexus...

If you have the VIN of the car, log in to Lexus owner's site and add the vehicle to your account to see service history. If it was consistently done at te same dealer, you can try calling the dealer up, tell them the VIN of your car and that you're interested in bringing it in for the next 75k service but also want to check on all recalls before scheduling. Tell them the car has always been serviced by them. You might be lucky if you speak with a friendly service manager.

Good luck.
