Lately I've since a price INCREASE on pre-owned '16's in SoCal. Many cars that were $51-$54k a few months ago are now being priced $55-$58k.
They seem to be moving pretty quick as well. The more desirable color combos only last abut a week. The exception would be matador mica - no one wants it, they sit forever!

^^^^Hmm, I'm in Arizona and bought an LC for cash at the end of June. I bought the car in Nebraska and drove it home. They took a personal check. They never asked for my SSN. If they had, I would have refused, I don't give that information over the phone. Don't understand your situation

Looking at a 2018 Demo GS-F untitled and being sold as brand new. It has a little 4K miles on it. White with black interior, was offered it at low 70k OTD. They originally came at me with a 78k OTD price.
Does it seem like a decent deal?

This deal would get my attention if third party Pre Purchase Inspection showed excellent condition (paint depth, pad/rotor thickness, etc).

Hey Crafty408 (San Jose? I grew up there, and live in the Bay Area still), hope this helps: last month I purchased a 2018 GSF, previous owner had it for 6 months, 6,900 miles, certified pre-owned, same color combo (no orange calipers), fully loaded, in impeccable condition for $64.5K (I don't remember what my exact OTD price was, but I'm guessing around 71). What is the price before taxes? Is it certified? Check the wheels for curb rash, check the front grille at the bottom (carbon fiber portion) for damage, inspect the body/paint, the carfax, etc. Hope that helps and good luck -- awesome ride!

I have missed out on a few extremely low mileage cars and so once I have put my deposit down, I will post the dealer and photos of the vehicle up for feedback from the forum.
Thank you for your story and price. Where was your 2018 purchased from?

^^^^To really see all that has been done by the dealer, go here:
https://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/
Register the VIN, and search for "Service History"
Any work, even body work, will be recorded there. More accurate than Carfax. Since it's been dealer owned since new, the record will be complete.

Yup, living in San Jose. I haven't seen the cost before T&L, I should have that information next week. Because the vehicle was never titled, it sold as brand new. All new car warranties are in place from the date of purchase. I have gotten close up photos of the front lip spoiler and the rear spoiler. There is two small rock chips on the front bumper which the dealer will repair before taking ownership, since the vehicle is being sold as brand new, there shouldn't be any rock chips at all. I plan on flying out to inspect the vehicle prior to completing the purchase. Carfax is clean, I am getting an updated one, just in case something has been reported since the last time they ran it.

Now that you mention the rock chips, I did have one near the headlight that the dealer was up front about and was going to repair, but when I picked it up it was done poorly. The rest of the car was great, so I bought it. It was re-touched up prior to me getting it clear wrapped, and now I never notice (and I'm pretty ****/OCD when it comes to these types of things). Suffice to say, a minor chip or two is not something that should sway you. Every other used GSF I saw online was in worse shape (I narrowed down my selection to 2017+, white exterior/black interior, and no orange calipers was my preference), and since there are so few out there, I pounced. It sounds like the price/condition is at or close to the sweet spot for you, but I'm not sure if this is the exact color combo you want like it was for me (there were less than 10 in the country that met the year/color restrictions I had, and most of those had orange calipers), and I'm also not sure if you have to travel far to check it out. Which dealership is It at? I may have spoken to them when I was in the market. You can email me at goraiders2k5@gmail.com if you want me to check.
Regardless, sorry for the long-winded response, but I hope the information helps form your decision -- best of luck!
