Near my place there's a dealer with a couple left over demo 2015 GS 350s. I looked at a nebula grey/ black awd with luxury package, pre collision radar, mark levinson, park assist, HUD, lane keep, and power trunk. Original msrp was 63,845 and it's on super sale for $43,597. It has 8k demo miles. I'm a bmw guy but this discount has me intrigued. My brother is a Lexus guy and took me out in his 13 GS. It was a nice ride. Is this deal too good to pass up? Vin is JTHCE1BL8FA002236 if someone wants to decode to verify options. Please any and all input will be appreciated! It could be my first Lexus.

That's about a 31% discount. I know many negotiated a 25% discount on a BRAND NEW 2016 GS350.

I would actually offer 4-5% less

The dealer will call that GS new because it was never registered but 8k miles is a used car.
It does have some nice options.

No doubt driven like it's stolen too. Was likely a loaner vehicle. I would stay away. Those are typically worse than used because people treat them like ******.

That is a great deal if the car is in good condition. How bad can it be with only 8k on the odo?

ssmoked

want me YouTube some rental car abuse videos for you?

bb700092

Sure... but all the cars have to have less than 8k on the odo

I dont need 8k miles. Give me 50 miles with your GS 200T and I can make it lose 90% of its life

In my original post, I did mention "if the car is in good condition". That is an assumption before buying any car.

I know what you are talking about. That is precisely why I never buy used.

Offer 40k with the dealer throwing in a Lexus extended warranty. That will take care of any maintenance fears of it having 8k miles.

If u like the car offer them 40k and see what they say just for your info many guys have bought new 2016 for 45-46k so I donno how good of a deal it is.

Well I'm certain it has been driven hard since the autobahn has no speed limits in a couple stretches near me. The dealer is changing the oil before delivery also.. The exterior has very few blemishes but looks new. The interior is imaculate. I took it for a short drive and I really liked it. I wish it was the F sport but it's not a deal breaker. The discount on bmws really isn't anything to brag about, actually no German brand discounts their cars like this. Not even for their demos. I know I couldn't get the new 5 series similarly equipped for this ball park and I think the value is making me look harder at the Lexus. I didn't know Lexus negotiates on their cars so much and I'm glad I took a tactical pause to get some forum feedback prior to purchasing. I will send an email to the salesmen and see how much sweeter the deal can be. A lower price and an extended warranty would be great, especially seeing how most of its EU/ stateside warranty is gone. Thanks for all the responses.
