2013 Luxury package non CPO @ 12000 miles for $34k auto loan rate @ 3.24% or
2014 F-sport CPO @ 25000 miles for $40k (didn't negotiate) auto loan rate @ 0.9%.

Which seem like a better deal?

The 13 Lux, assuming it's the white one, is out of the 4/50 as its' date of first use is 3/22/12. $34K seems OK, I recently sold a CPO one for $32,950 with 32K but it had new tires and brakes, etc.

The 14 F-Sport with 25K... Color? Assuming they did brakes and tires $39s is about right.

you're correct on the white one.

f-sport is black and red interior. i've been trying to get one with ML but no luck. Tires are new and they did a brake service.

25k is about right for tires and front brakes. That car should transact... mid 39s I would think. Black/Red is a great color combo just check one thing... check the carfax to see if that car came from north jersey...

If that car was serviced at northeast NJ Lexus stores be VERY VERY careful; there's a black over red 14 GS F Sport that came into my store with a clean Carfax but it's been in a serious L side accident and the airbags were blown.

Levinson is extremely rare on GSs, I have only seen one F Sport with Levinson in 6 months.

I ran an NSH, it's not the car I was worried about.

It got alignment, front pads, wipers, cabin filter and 4 new tires. Looks like a nice car, $41K is too much, that being said it's a car I could get $39,500-40K for pretty easily.

Offer less but 395-40 is reasonable territory.

That's not bad considering the 14 is going for the same rate this year.

I went to check out the 14 f-sport today and they can only go down to $40k.

Yes I am. Pre Owned Manager at a Lexus store

$40K isn't stupid for that car at all, truthfully. I could break it down it you want but at $40K they're not getting rich on you.

I sold the identical twin to that car for $32,950 (Well, leased it but that was the cap cost) last month with 32K and sold a White over Red (They sell like hotcakes, never last more than 7-10 days) F-Sport 2 hours ago for $34,995 with 32K.

In other words...... That price should be a bit negotiable. Meanwhile, if you want an F-Sport, get an F-Sport but the Lux pack cars are very nice, and very scarce.
