Default Purchase Opinion

Hello folks,
I'm new to this forum so apologies in advance if I make mistake.
I'm looking to purchase a 2013 Lexus GS 350 F Sport RWD that has 96K miles on it. It's a single owner car and is in excellent condition from what I can inspect. I will get it inspected by a car mechanic as well. The owner has new tires, new brake pads, new brake rotors and new battery, all done last year.

Would this be a good purchase for $16500 ? Especially the miles on it? What about resale value for this after I add say another 100k miles on it?

Please let me know your thoughts/opinions/suggestions on this car. Thank you very much!!

Thats not a bad price if it’s in good condition. Another 100k miles, depending on the years I’d say $5-8k

Sounds like a well cared for GS! Definitely get it checked by a mechanic even if things look good to you and also check the Carfax if possible.

The price seems very low but if it's a private seller then I understand why that might be the case.

Lastly if you have the VIN you can create an account on the Lexus drivers site and take a look at the history.

Hope it works out and you join the 4GS family...good luck!

I wouldn’t worry about the mileage if it is well cared for. My IS350 ran flawlessly at 88,000 miles before I switched to the GS. The main signs of age was driver seat side bolster wear. Everything else looked new. Price is as expected for the age and mileage. Resale at another 100,000 in good condition will be about half the price.
