In service date of 9/06, so I have another 12 months factory warranty. Mileage is 32,500. AWD. Car is honestly a 9.9 out of 10. Full front clear bra, mirrors and trunk guard. Car was advertised for $32,900. Dealt stictly with the Internet Manager via email for 2 days. Told him his price was way high. Finally made an appt to drive the car. I had already pulled car fax, KUNI Lexus dealer service records etc. So I knew the car was well taken car of and only 1 previous owner.

I was a cash buyer so the negociation was pretty easy. Sat down, offered $25k out the door. They came back at $29,999 plus tax. I pulled out the check book with the Sales manager and the Sales person sitting with me in the office. Wrote out a check in the amount of $27,000. Slid the check over to the Sales manager and told him he had 10 minutes to take my check and get me the paperwork, or I was leaving and heading to pickup a different car. He came back in about 10-15 minutes, all paperwork processed and waiting for my signature. So, the answer is $27,000 including tax, D&H and some stupid protection package they warranty the paint and upholstery for 5 years. I have priced out the Lexus Platinum Warranty and it is looking like I can grab that for about $1800.

All in all....I am very happY
