Default 2014 Lexus GS 350 AWD - $16,499

what do you guys think of this color I never seen this color combo of exterior and interior, I like how the red and peanut butter go together. I was all set to get the car until it was 23000 out the door. Also it being in a fender bender got me worried as well.

23k out the door is pure bait and switch, how the hell do they justify that? Defiantly not worth it with the accident history.

Agreed. Absolutely ridiculous bait and switch, and is a common thing in the NY/NJ area. Not saying all dealers don’t do it, but it is ESPECIALLY bad in that area, and they all do it to make their prices lower than each other in that area. I had several GS’s I was looking at in that area and every dealer I called was adding $5,000 in imaginary fees to the listed price. I would never do business with a dealer that does that.

I went to one of these places and never again. Pure bait and switch and they would not entertain a cash sale at the listed price. I also noticed they like to push horrible financing options, target people who probably can't afford/shouldn't spend that much on a car.

They're crooks, that's ridiculous. You don't need their warranty and gap insurance, should only be paying the doc fees, tax and tags.

Their warranty and insurance is probably an even Bigger BS than the price gouging.

I would advise to stay away from that dealership. There may be issues not reported to carfax they are also hiding. The dishonesty and bait and switch on the pricing are red flags.
