Default How Much did you pay for your 3rd GEN?

Hey guys, I am new to this forum. Just sold my M3 and I'm looking into getting a Lexus GS. Im looking to find how much I would be able to get the car for. I am looking at either a 2006 GS430 or 2007 GS350.
Can you guys post and let me know how much you paid for your vehicle. Also, if you have any input on these two models, I would appreciate knowing about it.

Year
Mileage
Price
CPO?

It would help me out extensively.

Thanks!

between the 2 i would get the 07 for the fact it has the newer navi system in it

it all depends on what you get with that options.

Thanks for your reply.

I would want to have ML/NAV, ventilated seats, and back up camera.

got mine with nav but no m/L for 24.5k with 50k miles clean carfax. not cpo. people around here were even asking for 25.5k for an 06 gs300. i had to drive around 1hour 45 mins to get to the dealer that had the car. well worth it. getting exactly what you want is a pain.especially since you want m/l. i wanted black on black and found a few but since those are highest in demand " i guess" the prices were outrageous. got mine at a benz dealer btw. keep in mind that small dealerships get most their cars from auctions.the real dealerships get their cars from trade ins.they do a complete inspection of the vehicle and decide wether or not its worth it to keep the car or send it to auction.if the car doesnt pass their inspection or they just think it'll be a pain to sell "doesnt look right in some way". it goes to auction where the small dealerships can now sell you the rejects. keep this in mind.besides some of those small dealers are crazy.thinking they are selling gold cars. even though the carfax is dirty..... sorry i had a bad experience when i went for my car.

fyi just because a carfax is clean, doesnt mean nothing is wrong with a car.

I paid 25.5 in June for my 06 GFM GS430 w/ black interior ML/nav/sport suspension/ 18 inch G Spyder wheels. 68,500 miles 2 owner car. Not CPO. Navigation was far from a deal breaker for me, you can buy a 100 dollar GPS that is more accurate and up to date than a car nav system JMO.

Maybe you can get a real good deal on the 2010 if the dealer has any available. I paid 42.7k for my 2010 a lil over 3 months ago. There is no difference at all for the 2011 and the nav is the most updated version.

region plays a huge roll in this car and what you can buy them for.
