Default A good deal

My friend is about to pick up a white 07 gs350 with 55k miles on it for 31,000. Is that a good deal? Fully loaded except for parking sensors. Carfax says regularly maintained and clean from accidents. Thanks for he help

BAAAAAAAD deal.

I just bought my GS450h 2007, 38k miles for $31k. And that was only talking him down from $34k.

2007 gs350 with that kind of miles should be $28 AT THE MOST.

it depends, california is a little more than other areas it seems. White is cheaper than silver or even gray since those 2 colors are hotter than the rest.

I have seen white GS with those miles from mid 20's and up. If you are buying from a dealer though you will always pay more...

is it from a lexus dealer with certification? I wouldnt go above 28 even with that.

my 08 gs350 is loaded including parking sensors and "only" 46k and i don't even think i can get 30k for the car, so you do the math

keep in mind, technically my car still has warranty, the one your friend looks at, nada

That's still high in my book, especially for private party. If he was to trade it in, a dealer would probably give him around 25k for the car. I wouldn't pay over 27k depending on options.

25k? i am not sure if it will be that high. it's 2007 with 55k miles. again my car is 2008 with 46k and i don't think dealer will offer me 25k for the car.

Older car and engine but last week I purchased a CPO 2006 GS300 with ML/nav and parking sensors, 55k miles for $22.9k from a dealer in CA. The car is in mint condition. Hope this helps. Thx.

that's definitley toooo high!

That car, in southern california, should be at 28k MAX! I was going to buy a gs450h hybrid for 30.9k with the exact same miles about two months ago.

Damn, everyone is making me feel like I got a bad deal. A few months ago I bought a fully loaded (minus ML) 08 black/black 350 AWD with only 15K for $36,000.

few months can make a big difference, summer time usually there are more cars and thus lower price, plus your car has only 15k, that's really not many miles at all
