Have been a lurker for a while now on this forum. Finally in a position to buy a 2013/14 f sport and most importantly got the go ahead from the real boss.

I am looking at the following 3 - test drove the fist two.

2013 F sport AWD CPO with 29K miles. White with Cabernet - no ML or Lane Departure or HUD... in great condition- asking $31880 + TTL Local Northern Cal Lexus Dealer.
2014 F sport CPO 31K mile - Nebula with Cabernet - ML but no lane departure or HUD in great condition asking $34888 + TTL Local Northern Cal Lexus Dealer.
2014 F sport white on black - Brand NEW with only 200 miles - did not see the car but the lexus dealer insists it was never titled before. Asked me to give them an offer...

local craigslist listing have a couple of 2014 f sport but after speaking to the owners on the phone I get a feeling that they are expecting a bit much (above kbb excellent condition),

thanks

Out of 3 choices, I would try last one first and submit your offer.

If that doesn't work out, 2nd 2014 CPO 31K miles.

You can probably get it down to close 31~32?

I've bought exact same vehicle (16K miles, ML) last September price at 33K + TTL.

The first one is little over price, I think.

Main worry I'd have about the new 2014 is how long the car was sitting... I personally would probably want all the fluids flushed/changed and make sure that the tires are okay/no flat spots from sitting too long. If it's a good deal and the warranty is solid, I'd consider it if it was priced around $40k-$44k, depending on what options it has....

Just my opinion - I just would be weary about a car that sat that long.

Good Feedback..This is will be my third car (have a truck, a spark ev for in town) so I am not concerned about the milage. nebula/cabernet is my preferred combo and I think I will draw a line at 31.5 for it otherwise I will wait. Want to get some thing that I like with the correct color combo and options - IMO don't want to compromise on color for a few hundred dollars unless they give me a great deal on the 2013 which I cant refuse I

Yes I am suspicious too...why wont they move this car! I personally would prefer the 2014 nebula/cabernet....

The dealer is claiming that they are a fixed priced dealer ( I giggled but realistically what should I expect for a CPO...I have read here that there is not much room on the CPO's. Any pointers..

What are the options on this last one?

Have you considered taking over a lease on a GS to see how you like the car? At $35,000 for 72 months at 3% you are looking at about $532 a month. You can lease a car under warranty, with low mile for a short time at a lot less money. After that if you don't like it you can walk away from it. Just a thought.

I'm sure they'll want an offer closer to $40k-$45k on that never titled 2014.

Is the 2014 Nebula Grey with ML AWD like the 2013? That could be the reason the '13 is priced a bit "high" because AWD adds $$$ to the cost. Not sure which is most important to you (cost/features/mileage/color) but I personally would go for the '13 F-Sport (the Starfire Pearl "white" is a great color - i have it). The '13 represents the best overall value for that price its hard to come by F-sports w/AWD for that price.

The 2013 F sport is AWD but without the ML. Pearl is my second choice.



I offered $32K for the 2014 F sport and the dealer refused claiming that if I get a price in writing they will "try" to beat it but they will stick to their ask.
