I need your guys input on some GS350's before I purchase. I found two cars near me:

1st:

http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...nal&listType=1

2007 GS350 AWD w/ 65k miles with Navi and maybe ML for $27k. I'm assuming I can get this down to around $25k?

2nd:
http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...nal&listType=1

2007 GS350 w/ 57k with Navi and ML. Sales guy said it is CPO 3year/100k miles from date of purchase. I asked him for the asking price and he said it would be around 30-31k which I think is a little high. Is it even possible for it to be CPO?

shop around. mine is loaded to the max. with 74k miles I got it for just under $20k 2 months ago. The first one you mentioned you should be able to get for 23.5k. Did you try autotrader?

I have been shopping around but we're keen on getting the white with navi. I'm in Louisiana and it's very hard to find a white with navi around these parts. I'm hoping they will go down to $26-27k. The salesman sent pictures and the car looks excellent.

then I'd say go for it.

31k is just really high for the second one.

Also, as a generous member of CL, if you find a car near me (Nashville), I am happy to go take a look at it for you and provide pics, etc.

Thank you. The car is actually for my mom and I am car shopping for her. She doesn't really want to travel too far so our options are limited. I appreciate your kindness though.

I think we'll offer 26-27k for the white one and if they don't bite, we'll just go see the black one since both stealerships are near each other.

I agree...31K is to much for the 2nd option. I've seen 07 3GS with about 30k miles, fully loaded for that price.

mikehuynh

I agree with you guys. 31k was for CPO and all. We ended up skipping the CPO and got it down to 25k. The exterior was in mint condition with Park assist, ML, rain sensing wipers, sunshade and a few other things. I think the only thing it was missing was the adaptive cruise.

Thanks for your inputs.

So you ended up buying the 2nd one for 25K? That's a pretty good deal. I'm assuming you bought since it is no longer listed. The 1st seemed shady anyway. It didn't have ML and they didnt get the colors right.

mikehuynh

Yep, we ended up getting the white one. I was surprised at how clean the previous owner kept it. I couldn't find one single dent on the sides of the car with almost 60k miles.

Congratulations on your new white GS350!! Great choice!

Curious.......where in Nashville did you buy the car?
