Default 2006 GS300 for $15,500. 96,000 miles. What y'all think?

Im looking at a 2006 Lexus GS300 for $15,500 with 95,000 mi at a Lexus Dealership. Clean title. Well maintained service record. 2 owners. Clean exterior and interior. Owned by the dealer's General Manager's next door neighbor, supposedly. What do you guys think?

Seems like you did your homework. Sounds like a good deal.

tske the flight and get your ride. It seems like thats the car you want. We dont know your financial situation. If thats the car you want then go get it.

Bought my GS450H from another province in Canada. Flew out 1000km and drove the car home in 3 days during winter time, best road trip ever and plus you will be enjoying the heck outta the car. If you think it's the right car, don't hesitate

You guys got any tips for buying a car from a dealership out of state? Should I get in paper the quoted price? I don't want to fly there and then they try to trap me by giving other numbers in financing and price, thinking i'll go for it cause I have no way back home.

talk to the dealer and see if you can put a $500 deposit on the car at the set price of $15.5k. make sure they give you paper working stating the price of the car at the time of the deposit and proof that you put a deposit on the vehicle. once you have that, just bring it with you to the dealer.
