35k OTD might be hard because of the color combo and it's CPO with decent miles. Have you asked for that price? It can't hurt cuz it's almost end of year and the new model is coming out in February (I think):

Price is high and that particular dealer is located in a desirable area (i.e.: they don't budge too much on price). I'd offer $29K and see where that takes you. But...you have the end of the month coming and the annual December to Remember sale-a-thon (which does trickle down to CPOs). Be patient.

I would say try for 35 OTD...I talked my dealer down from 54,300 to 46,500, so anything is possible. You never know until you try. Good Luck

I think it is worth a try, b/c it is end of the year!

Default GS350 OTD Price

I would buy new before I would pay that much for a car that is almost three model years old. In Jan 2010 when I purchased a new 350 AWD I was offered a deal on a 2009 CPO, optioned out that only had 2232 miles on it for 42, 900 before taxes, title, etc.. It was a good car at that price, but the 2009 had the DVD based navigation, versus the 2010 having Hard Drive DVD system. The 2010 was listed for 52,500 and I got it for 47,784, OTD in a state that has no sales tax, but does have a 3.5 percent transfer tax, and that included license plates for four years duration and all other fees. Plus I was not crazy about the color of the 2009. But it is all about what you like..after all, you will be living with it for 5 years or so.

Well they took off a little nibble of the price but wow thats alot for an 09 not even a 10 especially when the 2013 GS is about to go on sale.

Just checked KBB its valued at $37,720 thats way to high. Thats with CPO.

Dealers have more room on new cars than used or CPO's. They are all going towards the Carmax no haggle way, and I don't like it. Mine is a 08 with 50000 for 33K before tax.

Default How much should I offer

Kelly Blue Book prices are not realistic. Dealers do not use those prices. They go on trade for what your car is worth at the auction yards in your area. The prices they charge for these cars are whatever they think the market will bear. It can vary greatly from dealer to dealer. You just have to take your best shot and see if they will match it. Remember, that is not the only GS on the planet for sale. Look around, do internet search, be willing to travel outside your area if the price is right. The consumer can actually determine the value of the car by holding to their prices and not giving in because of emotions when you see the car and can't seem to walk away. That is exactly what the dealers are banking on. If the consumer is not willing to pay inflated prices they will have to come down or be out of business in the long run. Be reasona ble with your offer, after doing some research. Would you want to pay say $36,000 for a car, and then find out your insurance will only pay 33, 900 if you total it the next day.
