Thanks to @AJLex19 as well for the find! It was a long weekend and a very long drive but well worth it for sure.

@OUT FOX EM Congrats on picking up a STEAL of a 4GS! Post up some pics when you can

It's funny to think about the phone is ringing off the hook at the Chevy dealer but they're all asking about a Lexus.

Yeah, it is pretty funny. The dealer was asking me if there was something special about it. I was like "Yeah, it's a Lexus."

Thanks! I definitely will post up some pics after Thanksgiving, and ask for some advice on a couple of things (mainly where to go next with it).

That's not bad at all. Seems like they know the options your car has, much better than that Chevy dealer. Did you help them out with that or did they figure it out on their own?

I kind of mentioned how special it was but he didn't want to hear having the vin and all.
They lowered it $1000.00 already wow.

I remember when I traded my IS for my current GS - they gave me $23k trade-in at the time and then listed it CPO for around $28k. I was friends with the Sales Manager and he said they really only make 3-4 thousand off each pre-owned inventory sale regardless of the model. He said the longer it sits, the more it costs the dealership and the less they'll be able to get for it before eventually sending it to auction if it takes too long to sell.

About a week later, they dropped the price of the IS and it sold for around $27k.
