So today, I bought a 2008 with 14,000 miles for $27,500. It is a black CPO with no NAV. (sorry Miniz) There are only 3 with Nav within 75 miles and the mileage was 48,49, and 65000.

They want to sell me a Simonize teflon wax job with a 7 year guarantee for $595. It is only because of what Miniz said about black that I am thinking about it.

I am considering a 3 year warranty extension from Lexus, but they are asking $2150. They will make a package deal of $2150 if I take both.

I haven't signed anything yet, but left a deposit.
It's not too late to walk away. You can a lot better for $27,500. Trying to unload a base model later is not going to be fun. Future buyer...."So what options does your car have?. You... "None, its a cheap a$$ base model". Future buyer...."Well, thanks for your time. I was looking for Nav, HID headlamps, parking sensors and a back up camera".

Those 4 things are what buyers are demanding on this car. Anything above and beyond, like a pano sunroof or a rear shade are major pluses.

You will be sad you got black. I hear it all the time from owners. "I will never ever get another black car......ever again!!". Toyota black is about the worst. If you like your car be a swirly scratched chipped mess, then go ahead and buy it.

Dealer wax jobs......the biggest scam in the industry. You do realize that a bottle of Simonize costs $15. The amount used on one car equals $3. The time to do the car is 30 minutes to 1 hour. It will last 6 months max. There is no product that lasts 7 years. If anyone tells you that, turn around and run away very fast because they are full of bullsh%t.

Extended warranties are fully negotiable, available for purchase from many wholesale sources, and generally a complete waste of money on Lexus products.
