Default 2008 GS350 92k miles

I found a mint black/black GS350 with 92k miles for $16k. Is this a good deal? Are there any specific issues to look out for? Is it advisable to purchase a 3 GS with this many miles? Thanks.

I got my pearl white GS350 08 for 18k with 90k miles here in socal, 30k miles later no issues.

Just like what they said check records/recalls make sure they all completed, also there is a new recall they lexus/toyota issued about a month ago check if they did that

I live in Florida and had a buyer for 21,500 but decided to keep my car.

07 gs350 AWD, ML + NAV, 62k miles, all service up to date. I actually thought the price was way better than average, but I couldn't find anything I liked more within a few thousand of what I was getting and I didn't want to put out too much more.

I know how you feel, no matter what you paid for your car, reading the forums will ALWAYS make you feel ripped off. I call it, the special internet forum deals. You can't beat them!

I paid $23,000 for an 09 GS 350 but have maintenance records. All done religiously at Park Place Lexus in Plano, Tx. Navigation package among other upgrades and had 72,000 miles....

That seems like a good deal if the car is in good condition with proper maintenance. I'm in the same boat as you. There's an '08 3GS with 85k miles being sold at a Lexus dealer near me for $17k that I was considering to buy but I want something a little newer so I haven't pulled the trigger yet as I do not want to "settle." At this rate, I might end up in a '13 3GS haha.
