Default Price Opinion

Haven't been on here in awhile being I switched to a Nissan SUV for a bit. I really miss my GS and found one I like. I just wanted some opinions on the price. It a 2011 with just under 20k miles they are asking $29,800.00. It has a clean carfax but is not at a Lexus dealer. Thanks in advance!

It's a gs350. I went to look at it today and although the outside was immaculate the inside was beat up and smelled like a dirty ashtray.

Thats a lot of money for a GS 3gs

Why not go for a 4gs or an LS460

just like they say "if its too good to be true…" the interior shouldn't be so beat up. sometimes these low mileage cars were flood damaged or some other kind of disaster that gets by and not caught by a car fax… have a good lexus tech check it out and give it a good bill of health. if you like the car its a great price but there are also other cars out there at that price point. case in point i bought and paid a hefty penny on my GS because i love this car.

Yeah I passed on it. The interior did not look like a 19k mile car. I felt like something slipped through the carfax. As much as I love the GS model I'll wait until the right one comes along.

Got my '08 GS460 for $29,300 with 16,000 miles, roughly 5 months ago. Seems like a fair price, but you made the right choice to pass if you just weren't feeling it. Keep looking, took me 5 months to find my GS.
