Default Is this a good price?

Hi,
I've found a 2018 GS350 F Sport with 1,800 miles on the clock - non Lexus dealer is asking $41,500 before Tax, tag and title.
It has the following options:Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound
Black Brake Calipers
One-Touch Power Trunk
Intuitive Park Assist
WDF SPORT Leather Steering Wheel
Trunk Mat/Cargo Net/Whl Locks/Rr Bumper App/Glove

Is this a decent deal?

I'd be real careful buying from a 3rd party dealer. Most of those cars are damaged. That super low mileage is a red flag. Check it out top to bottom carefully with a knowledgably inspector. Otherwise, price seems within range if it is in Excellent condition.

Its very low mileage for a 2 year-old car - but anything is possible (e.g. maybe elderly owned/driven, maybe it was a second car that was hardly used, maybe barely driven during 2020 due to the pandemic). The price is good, I think you could probably offer $40k and see what they say.

Definitely get it checked by a mechanic if you're considering buying - keep in mind it still has probably a few years left on the Lexus 4yr/50k bumper to bumper warranty from Lexus which gives you some peace of mind even though its at a non Lexus dealer.

Our local Lexus dealer has the same car with only 12,000 miles and CPO, Asking $39,800. Seems to be more desirable with the CPO, and with a lower price.

OP here - for comparison sake I've found a new 2020 for about 17% off MSRP or $9,658. OTD is $50,885. What do you guys think?

I scratched and clawed for that on New Year’s Eve type deal and thought it was the cats meow.
I’m very happy with that deal and the car! Issue is limited inventory and given limited production one can’t say you’ll do better. If the equip and color are a good match for you then be happy!

That's a good deal. I paid slightly more for my 2020 Ultra White Black Line SE with ML audio and triple beams.

That's a better deal than I was able to secure my 2020 for.

And for reference, my 2019 is still for sale at the dealership. It's a loaded F Sport AWD with 9k miles and they are asking $45k.

If everything checks out, it's a good deal.
