Miles are a bit high for a 2010 nor would i spend 20k on this type car with almost 100k miles. If i were buying a 3GS at this time, i think I'd buy one with around 2-3 yrs old and 50k miles.

With almost 100k on this, I would think a major service (spark plugs, water pump, fluids etc..) would be needed.

Have you checked cars.com? A quick search for me turned up plenty of 2010-2011 GS350 AWD with less than 50k for under $30K and there were a few Lexus CPO cars also.
Negotiating a couple grand off the asking price will help you also. Good luck!

I don't think its a bad deal, the price represents the year and high miles. However I agree with some of the other posts, I wouldn't purchase any car with that many miles. The year of a car in my opinion represents features and the amount miles will determine reliability. I don't think there is a big difference in features between a 2008 - 2011 and they look the same.

I would look for a car on other sites like autotrader.com. I did a quick search using a NY zip code and several cars came up in your area.

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...354682494&mmt=[LEXUS[GS350[]][]]&listingId=350103818&listingIndex=6&Log=0

If it was me I would probably spend 20k-23k on a 2008 with low miles and save the rest of my money for rims, body kit, and coilovers.
