FYI

this is the only UL in Atlanta area and it is with "old manish" interior and not a CPO .

By the way I drove this car and it has 17 inch wheels and has a great ride. The interior is like brand new. The leather in the driver's seat is not even stretched. It is primo.

It's not the case in So Cal. I've tried to make offers on Lexus here and they all want above kbb and it's getting sold. Insane.

Default Car price sounds ok, shipping sounds high

[QUOTE=UGKkllr;4547625]Ok so I found this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lexus...1%7C240%3A1318

I keep gettin outbid and Im at 27400. So Im gonna call them tommorow and hope they are open so I can try and make a deal. Hopin I could get it for 29 grand shipped. You guys think its over priced ? Seems about what a lexus dealership would charge for a CPO but the flip side is that its an 05 with 36k miles, black on black and of course its Ultra Luxury package equipped. Should I just BIN to secure it and how do I know Im bidding against someone whos for real. QUOTE]
From what I have seen online, that is not a bad "buy it now" price. I say that because it is about the same as for the few CLs I have found, some with higher mileage. Of course I am talking about posted prices. If there is room for negotiation, I haven't found it yet, but I am still looking. I have gotten a quote for shipping from LA to DC for just around 1K, dropping the car off at the shipper's depot and picking it up at the depot at the other end, so FedEx sounds a little steep. Good luck with your bidding!

'97 ES300 Sold
05 CL Still Looking

That UL in Atlanta has higher miles and a higher price then the one from ebay I posted above. Not to mention the one on ebay has black interior and is one owner. If I am gonna spend 30 grand then its gonna be on the one I posted a link for. Still waiting to hear back from them about makin a deal. And of course the 02 for 17 grand I was thinkin bout is gone now too, figures.... As far as prices go , I agree with rcantu, nobody seems to wanna make a deal anymore. Everytime I call, email or go see a car in person , its a firm price. I show up with a stack of hundreds and no one seems to care. I guess money doesnt talk afterall.

Default Blk/Blk CPO

Not sure if you're still looking but there is a Blk/Blk '05 CPO in Wisconsin. Look it up in Autotrader.
