Decent deal on 15 GS?
When traveling for work, I stopped by a Lexus dealership last night, and test drove a GS350 F Sport (20K Miles, Mark Levinson Sound, New front brakes and tires, L Certified) for 38,500 OTD.

Not a bad price IMO. Is it worth it to you? That's really all that matters. At most the difference between the majority of deals and absolute steals is a couple grand. If that's putting you over the edge of having or not having the car you can't afford it anyway when you are talking about buying a car for 30k+.
For reference I bought an L-certified 2014 f sport without ML and 26k (also with new brakes and tires) miles for 35 OTD in September. so your price seems very reasonable.

It needed brakes at 20k?
What kind of tires did they put on?
Just curious....
Sounds a little on the high side for a 15 but it does only have 20k miles (which is excellent). I might try and work it down a little bit and I'll bet they meet you somewhere closer to 35-36. Lcpo and all, sounds good.

Re: Brakes - I was asking about that as well, as I know someone who owns this same model (and has 45k miles on his), and he said he has yet to replace his front brakes.

I'd still be inquisitive about the brakes. Could be something easy like they were just broken or what have you.
If it's the right fit, I'd go for it.

Sounds good. I too am surprised by the tires and brakes. I have a 15 F Sport with almost 16k miles on it. The tires (Michelin Primacy MXM4) still look new and the brakes have barely any wear on them, but it's nice to start off fresh.

Could be that whoever had it was too hard on the brakes. I get many years out of brakes just because I allow myself plenty of time to slow down. Last minute stops due to driving style can wear brakes quicker. Had a family member who always kept her foot on the brake and gas at the same time who always wore them out prematurely. You never really know the driving style of a car previously owned.

Re: brakes, the dealer might have just changed the pads and resurfaced the rotors as part of their L certification. That's what mine did. I asked specifically and they said the pads had about 50% life and the rotors were fine, but they did it to allow me to start off fresh with the vehicle. For me they put on continental extreme contacts and I've been happy with the tires so far. I have no idea about tread life on these but then again I didn't really pay for them.

If this is RWD, price is a tad high, but all depends on the local market.... My 15 CPO with similar features was about 38K and I had 11,500 miles (and AWD).... but, like I said, depends on the market, and depends on if it has the color combo you want and how hard it is to find, etc.

My lease is coming up and you can have it for $35K (buyout) with 27K miles and F-Sport AWD
I already have few mods to it so you don't need to worry.
