Default Used IS F ?

I'm in the market to buy IS F, anyway I went to the dealer and they have used 08 F with white color.
How much I should pay for this car?it has 500 miles on it.
They also have a good deal on new 08 but I don't like the color.
Thank you for any input.

In LA, Carmax Irvine sold it for $48,988 plus tax and fees with 1,000 miles on it, SGM exterior color. It's gone just after 1 day on their lot.

Are you looking at Lexus of Seattle? I find it ridiculous that they're asking $62K for the car. Lexus of Bellevue might have a used Silver available, close to 10K miles, I don't know how much they're asking for it though.

Yes, they have used one and has 500 miles on it.
They also have 2 new 08 and they said they willing to negotiate the price close to invoice.
I just don't like the colors that they have, I'm interested in the white one they have.
So my question is how much I should pay for the car?even though only 500 miles on it, it's consider used right?
Help.....

If Lexus of Seattle is willing to do invoice on a new car... I'd say a used car would be at least 10% under that.. so close to the 50K mark.

Just curious, what color combos do they still have new? I haven't driven by them in a while.

It's kinda hard to find out what a used IS-F should go for. KBB and the others aren't showing used car prices yet.

EDIT...I just checked NADA.com and it's showing a $1450 depreciation hit for the 500 miles.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe if the car has never been titled, then it is still considered new, like a demo car. Therefore, the price is sort of up in the air. I would say take the kbb value (And below) and go from there. Usually demo cars are extremely hard to sell, so you should be able to walk off with a really sweet deal if you are persistent. Good luck.

In this market turmoils, they're lucky to get $50K or less. I could had gotten a used Black w/ less than 1500-mile and 2-tone interior for $51K during my search over a month ago here in LA (just so you have some ideas).

Fan 888,

I was looking to buy that car (Bellvue, right?) They agreed to $55k with me for the demo (Smokey Granite). There is probably a little more room than that in it, as they have 5 of them.

FYI, I ended up buying one in Vancouver WA, used with 4000 miles on it for $51,500.
