Default Getting a CPO GS350?

Hey guys,

I have a IS250, my dad LOVES the car and now wants his own Lexus...he's looking at the 2007-2008 GS350 RWD model. What's a good price for a CPO one in those years? Looking for something with under 50k miles too. Any tips/suggestions/anything we might wanna know would be appreciated, don't really know much about the GS model since im an IS person.

Anyone suggest any dealers in Socal as well? The San Diego Lexus dealerships don't seem to have much of a selection of CPO GS's.

Thanks!

Can't suggest any dealerships, but can say that CPO really there is nothing to check except damage to the frame, remember a member saying they got there car and found frame damage and it was CPO. At least your father can extend the CPO warranty from 3 years to I believe 6 years if wanted, which is good cause it is a Lexus warranty. I'd say 20K-40K loo for pricing between $27K-33K based upon years just a roungh estimate your better picking a car and letting us pick at it on price kinda hard to place a price on a car with no info.

Well so far we saw one that he really liked, it was a CPO 2008 GS350, had 50k miles on it, Nav for $36,000. I thought that was a bit expensive....am i right? Comparing it online, it seems a bit steep.

36k imo is too high. Should be closer to 30k-32k even for a CPO with NAV

Woah, that's a Stealership price. Try Autolenders or another return lease type warehouse. Don't know what's available in S. Cal.

By way of comparison, my 2 year old 2006 GS 300 awd with ML/Nav and only 20K miles cost $35,500, when I bought it in 2008. If anything the GS should be worth even less now, as it's getting pretty old in the model cycle and BMW and Infinity have released new competing models just last year.

I'll give Autolenders a try...i'm guessing most lease returns would still have some factory warranty left at this point? My dad just likes CPO cause of the warranty, but it seems like all the Lexus dealers don't wanna give a good deal on a GS! I got good deals from all the dealerships when i was buying my IS but not so much with the GS...lol interesting.

Went to some San Diego area Lexus dealerships. Saw a few GS's but nothing wow'd my dad, there were some at a really good price, just in black - the one color my dad hates lol. The search continues!
