Default Question on GS350 2013

Hi guys,

Sorry for writing this thread here but I have a few question for all you guys. I have a Lexus GS300 05, but I'm thinking to sell it and buy a 2013 GS350 that are giving me a good price for it. Have 37,014 miles and still 3 year warranty. Price is $ 29.000.00 It is a good price? It's Black on Black as my GS300. Also, that I can expect or be aware to change soon? I personally like to have my car a day in its maintenance. Any comments or help on this is more than appreciaed. Thanks guys. .

Is it certified pre owned from a Lexus dealer? If not, you should research whatever company is backing the warranty and what the warranty covers.

If it's a car with S+ (Fsport or Luxury) be sure to have the shocks checked for leaks.

Check the service history on lexus.com

Listen for squeaks, rattles

Listen for wind noise from the sunroof while it's closed and the sun shade is open.

Make sure everything works.

That's really cheap. You should check the title.

Thanks for you help in this guys.

Is a 100% clear title. Also, the only person how was drivining that car was one of the manager of the Lexus Dealer and that is the reason why still or come with 3 years warranty from the dealer.

Another point guys, I see this other GS350 F for $28,900.00 clear title, 81,xxx miles on eBay, item # 261965258505. This is a better deal I Think?? Is a F model but my only concern in this one is the mileage, because the warranty ran out?? But look a better deal, right??

It's only $100 cheaper with a zillion morn miles. I don't consider that as cheap.

Is that the price from going from non-F to F?

I wouldn't even consider getting a car with that many miles. Yes, Lexus are reliable...but I bet not many people have hit that kind of mileage to report any problems.You might be able to talk down the price since many people probably would feel the same, but I would just to keep looking.

$100. No the price difference is much larger. For a used car maybe 3-4 grand difference between f sport and non f sport models.

Sorry, that's what I meant. That's why it's only $100 cheaper with a lot more miles.

I've owned other Lexus vehicles without a CPO type warranty but still had the existing warranty in effect. I wouldn't let a non-CPO car deter you (unless it's salvaged). When you own it, baby it, bring it to the dealer and get every issue fixed under warranty and you'll be golden (and a few bucks richer with the money you've saved). Just my nickels worth.

Thanks guys for all yours advances on this. All what I want to put to this GS 350 is cheaper than what I've already bought on my current GS300 2005. Thanks again
