I'm pretty versed on what I can get a new GS350 for but I'm currently in the market for a used one for my mom. She's planning to keep this car for a long time so I talked her out of a BMW and Mercedes.

I found a 2013 GS350 White with Flaxen (brown) interior with 29,000 miles CPO. Looks like a lease return from the carfax. The guy had it for about a year and a half.

Options wise it has..

18in alloy rims
Blind Spot Monitor
Navigation
Park Assist
Premium Package
Door Sills and spoiler

Retail brand new is $54,283.
They had originally listed it at $42,200 + tax but I guess they weren't selling it and dropped it to $40,995 + tax = $44,563 out the door.

How much can I realistically get this down to? I saw other similar cars with lower miles CPO listed at $38/39k.

Still seems a bit high.
I saw 37k 6-7 months back for a similar model.

You can get an fsport/luxury for this price

Hi

I got my CPO Lexus GS350 F - Sport 30K miles Black w/ Flaxen about 3 week ago.

Original list price is $57K ---
CPO listing price is $42K -

Car been in the lots of over 30 days... according to Carfax.

Well, test drove it 10 days before I bought it.

Within the 10 days. I been in contact w/ my sale rep.

At the end.... We'll I got it for $36,809.00 + tax.

According to the dealer... They're really in the hole when they're selling me this car.

So good luck.

OP - You should be able to buy that car (as optioned) or another CPO car with the same mileage and options for $36.5k~$37.5k plus registration and taxes. Lesser mileage and the price goes up a bit. Lesser desirable color combos and the price comes down a bit.

i see lots of non f sport listings for mid 30s. F Sports are asking 40,000+

I've been looking at prices on these for the past 2 weeks. I think the lowest "listed" price I've seen for a CPO is around $36k +tax/tag/fee.

bclexus

Yeah, most CPOs with those options and ~25,000 miles will be listed at around $38,500~$39,000, but can be bought for about $2,000 less, give/take a few bucks.

That's an interesting number. I got my 13 fsport obs/cab w/ ipa, bsm, cold package, 27k miles cpo for 42k plus tax

Haha, the old sympathy sale. Pal, I'm losing my shirt over this sale! You're killin me! My wife needs hip surgery!

Nah, if it's a bad deal for the dealer, it won't sell. Don't buy that old salesman pitch for a minute.

LOL.. i Agreed.

But here another thing might give u a kick.

There isn't any financing program available for CPO at 72 month finance with APR at 1.9%.

Well, i got it.

The finance manager were like "Where the F did you came up with this APR at 1.9% on a 72 month to the floor manager"?
Well, finance manager told the floor manager. He have to cover the lost due to the APR offered to me was to low. No bank offer at the rates. The lowest theyre can offer is 2.9%.

Estimated would cost him about $2,500.00 less after 72 month.

Here my monthly.... $602.62 x 72mon + $500.00 down. ($602.62 monthly also included GAP insurance)

Just got my bill from the Finance company..... and the number above is correct.

After 72 month, estimate this car would cost me $43,888.64.

See my reply above... ;-)

what dealer did you get yours from?

37809.00 is just a weird number to me. Usually whole numbers area thrown around (I. E. 37800, 37850, 37500 etc)

In my case Internet price was 46.9k. Test drove it, they offered it 45.5k. I left said I was still shopping around. Did some research, car had been sitting on the lot for about 30 days and it was towards the end of the month. Went the the credit union and got pre-approved for a loan for a 13 gs350 (35k @1.89% for 72 months).

Went back to dealer about 10 days later, armed with info. They offered at 44k to make the deal happen today. "Someone else was coming to look I a couple days." floor Manager came in so I pulled out my pre-approved letter and said 41.5 you have a deal. They countered with 42 and it was a done deal. 42.5k was my limit though.

You got a good deal.

I got it at Keyes Lexus in Van Nuys, CA (91405)

I Agreed with you on the number things.... but since I negotiated down to a pennies with them. So theyre gave in.
