Default Is my price good for a 2013 GS 350

bought mine (2013 GS with 52600 miles) from individual for $24500 plus tax, it's not the best shape, there are chips on the edges on three of the wheels, a long scratch on one back door and a few other small scratches, and windshield has a small ding I hope doesn't start cracking..two tires need replacement

It's loaded with with luxury package, heads up display, park assist, mark levinson and navigation.. Is this a good deal?

With that many options I think you did good, the items you mentioned wrong are easy fixes, love the color though.

Oh cool! I should have checked out the car more carefully. It was a one owner car by a woman. From the condition it look like she didn't take care of the car as much. I would have babied a nice car like this!

If your finger nail catches on the scratch when running over it, no amount of buffing will remove it. If the scratch is that deep it will need to be painted and blended. If the scratch is in the clear coat a professional body shop can wet sand and buff it back pretty easily, but judging by the pictures, it looks deep.

For the record clay bar will never get rid of scratches. However it can remove paint transfer from something that rubbed off onto your car.

I remember seeing people putting on some 3M made cream like stuff then buff it, and the paint was fixed.. forgot what it is.
