Default 2007 RX 350 AWD. Good deal or not?

I came across an RX 350 2007- AWD with 67,727 miles and going for $21,998. Do you guys think that's a good deal? Considering the mileage. It has no NAV. Thoughts please?

AWD is a few $k more than FWD. 21K deal! Use the $900 discount on getting an aftermarket NAV...pioneer, jvc,etc. Tell the dealer that!

Thank you for the response. He offered me $19,9 for it right away when I walked in. I counter offered 18k let's see if e agrees. It's 68k and change no NAV no rear view camera, no park assist, no push button start. Let's see.

Assuming the car is OK, anywhere in that neighborhood would be acceptable. Go to Lexus.com and check the service records. Any service done at a dealer will be there.

You'll need the serial number and register as the driver.

You can't get park assist or push button start on a 2007.

I'd look for a more loaded model if you want an RX, there are plenty available.

We got our 07 RX 350 awd certified, 55k miles, fully loaded for $24k back in May. If you get it for under $20k I'd say it's a good deal. Just be sure to check history like mentioned before.

You may try a lease return before it expires.

Honestly, I'd pay a little more and get AWD w/ Nav/Rear View Camera...

Thank you all for your responses. I was thinking it might not be worth it as the private dealer is not budging and will not give the car for less then $19,900 pretty much $20K. I think the car should at least have bluetooth and park assist if anything but the car is so so tempting though LOL, but not sure if its worth that money without the goodies,also it does not have the AUX INPUT for my iphone to play music. I am in a limbo here.

You are asking for features that are either not available to this day, were not available at that time, or were available but with a different package group. Going newer and with more packages will get you some of what you want, however, at a much higher price. At $20k, that is about as good as it gets. If you want more, you are going to pay more.

Most of the things you mention can be added if you want. It really isn't that expensive. An aux in to use your ipod is a common addition.

LOL, check the links in my sig if you really want to get crazy.

@RX330INFL - Thanks for the response, You are right, its just a matter of if I can or want to spend more. @Carver - love the modifications - You are right, Things can be added, except the back up camera. I came across another deal for RX350 2008 with nav and a back up camera and that **** just jumped to 28K, huge difference.

I added a backup camera with the Kenwood, it can certainly be done.

If it has a cassette, pickup a cheapo adapter and plug it into your iphone/ipod to play through the stereo until you decide to go the Carver route. I have the 07 with Nav and love it.

You may want to take the advice of those here who say wait for a loaded one..

good luck!

@Carver - The site you gave me for checking the service records is a great site man. Just an FYI for all who helped and guided - I got the dealer to come down to $19,500 for this car, 68,000 and change mileage.
