Default Is this a good, great, or sick deal?

2004 RX330 w/ 39,000 miles. Certified pre-owned, 2 wheel drive, Nav, heated seats, back up cam, xenon, blah blah blah...

26,000 out the door (not including taxes) - out of state buyer
25,500 out the door (not including taxes NO CERTIFIED PRE_OWNED) - out of state buyer

The car was certified pre-owned before we walked in there. Can they remove the certification? Or are they blowing smoke in attempts to get some more $? Probably going to buy the car today... let me know what you guys think! Thanks...

Extremely clean, southern car which just came off lease...

Is this FWD or AWD? The Cert gives you some additional warranty so it's likely that dropping the $500 and selling as a non-cert is possible.

FWD. The salesperson said everything was done to make it a Certified Pre Owned, but they will remove the CPO tag unless I up another 500.00 I just didn't think it was possible after it has already been certified. So.. what do you think about the deal either way?

In our neck of the woods (Pacific NW) that's about right for a dealer sale. It's no particular bargain, but it’s not exactly rape and pillage either.

I got 2004 RX w/ 38K for $25900. Like in new condition with lots of option.
It's just O~~~K deal... nothing special.

You can drop the CPO. It's really just the extended warranty but IMO, it's worth $500.

I think it's a pretty good deal. I've been looking for a while and just bought the best deal I could find: 2004 AWD w/ 40K miles. All the same stuff but no nav and no back up camera for $24,500 (not CPO).
