Let first start off with my 2nd was rear end and the insurance company totaled it out...

So now I'm in the market for another GS

I found 2 dealers that are selling the same year GS
1: 2008 GS460 42k 32,000.00
2: 2008 GS460 51k 31,000.00


How much would you pay for either one. I did nada and kbb.

I'm really wondering what is a realistic price to offer the dealer.
They start high and I'll start low.
Thanks in advance

First,

What colors are they? A 51k Pearl White one is worth more than a 42k Green or Gold one.

How's the Carfax reports? These affect value regardless of whether or not the car was actually hurt, figure 10% whack if the car has an accident reported regardless of whether or not it was a scuffed bumper.

Then, what kind of condition are they in? Good rubber or worn Nankangs? Paintwork? Etc...

Lots more to worry about than just mileage. Both prices, at first look, appear to be all the money retail. Wholesale on a nice one with miles in the low 50s seems to be around $26-27, I'd add a grand for one with miles in the 40s.

It also depends what's been done to em. Did the dealer buy the car, wash it and out it up for sale or did he spend $$ servicing it? Are either CPO?

32,000 GS is white
31,000 GS is black

Both have been on the lot for over a month.

Haven't looked at a CarFox yet.

Not sure on tires I will look at the website when I get home. These phone screens are small.

The black GS is from a Lexus dealer and is a certified car.
I plan on modding it so I'm not to worried About the cert.

Also the black GS has sport suspension option. Both have navi.

Will coil over work with the sport suspension?

You'll use the AVS function if you remove and replace with coilovers.

I think 26,700 otd is a good price.

Black one at Westside is exactly what I have. Selectable sport susp is standard on Gs460. Mine was previously cpo when private seller bought it a yr ago. Had 29k miles. Purchased for 30k. I looked months for one. Not a lot of 460 in the country. I would say 28-29 reasonable for black one. On white one, better go look at it. I think someone mentioned the ones at that dealer may be rougher than average. Regardless, asking price is too much for both.

I've got a friend with a white one who wants to sell his. I'll get more details and let you know.

I've bought a number of cars from Westside, great dealership to deal with. Texas direct is very straight forward as well but they get their cars all over the nation & ship them here. Westside is more then likely bought traded & resold there.

I tried getting the price down to 26,700 and it was a no go...

I then moved on to a GS350 no navi priced at 26,900 with 42k. I was able to get the stealer-ship down 1,000 off asking. 27,225 OTD. Still waiting on my CU to give the thumbs up.
