That is your opinion, and i can't understand why others would like to chop off your fingers. Anyways, so much for carmax no haggle price. I am sure others know this, they do come down on price when no one buys. Case in point, check out the 2014 ls 460 at carmax wichita, kansas. They reduced price by 2k i think...

I feel strong about these ground breaking safety features. I said this on the 4 Runner forum and almost got my fingers chopped off since even the 2017 4 Runners have none of those safety features. Its all mainstream now and will be mandatory soon. I feel like in 2020 insurance company's will be dinging people hard who don't have automatic collision braking.

Lane keep, also a nice idea if you don't endure constant roadworks with lane shifts. I could see that steering me right into a concrete barrier around here.

Well, let's see how things go, Steve. I respect that dealers have higher overhead than a private sale, thus I'm not expecting to buy it at what I negotiated for the Nebula Gray. At the same time, there's more profit in used car sales than new so there's room to work with. The L/Certified price does seem lower than other dealerships but there could be a reason for that. I need to see the car in person. As it stands, based on photos, this car isn't speaking to me at $43K...it has a few perks and that has me mildly curious to learn more.

It looks like it's only 10 days old on the Cargurus site, no price changes so far, and Cargurus coonsiders the car overpriced. I'm not sure about how accurate their pricing algorithm is. Still, the dealership is likely aware of the evaluation, and if the car sits for a while, will probably lower the price so it gets a better rating.
ETA:
Looks like Cargurus has the wrong exterior color for the car. Here's a 2013 brochure with a color chart:

I like the Carmax one better since it has PCS and a black interior, much easier to keep clean.

While not a 2013, it is a one owner with less miles than most of the 2013's you are looking at and has a Lexus extended warranty for another 18 months according to the post.
It is the original color combo you wanted and AWD. In addition, will cost roughly half as much as the ones you are now considering.

I remember the thread you linked to. It seems photos have still not been shared. Such an unfortunate set of events for the owner. As for the car, I am pretty sure about 2013+ now. It is one criteria I haven't flip-flopped on for a few weeks.
I am not bothering with the 2013 at Valley Lexus because I managed to stop by Carmax to drive that 2014 Fire Agate Pearl. Ultimately, it's a unique color but is not for me. Incidentally, to touch on Carmax pricing that was mentioned earlier in the thread, the salesperson did share that Carmax "continually evaluates" their pricing to stay competitive (and profitable). I was surprised how low their warranty plans are for the LS (and even lower prices for a Range Rover that makes it a no-brainer to get coverage).
