yeah i think that is a pretty good deal...........if that is out the door price tax, reg .etc.
if buying from a dealer consider neg. bumper to bumper extended warranty for a reduced price as part of the deal(for peace of mind).........they usually can give you a pretty good drop on that.
good luck

the car is in mint condition. the car fax checks out. everything is good. my thoughts are, should i spend that much on a used car? my other option is a brand new acura tsx. i know its like apples and oranges. but its a pretty sweet car. let me know wut u guys think. Thanks in advance

2000 GS4 is a much nicer car than TSX, plus it is more powerful. Acura is nice too, but the interior looks so fake. $30K seems to be right for 39K miles. If it is a Lexus certified, you got a deal my friend.
