Default New GS 450H Owner Here...

Just picked up a CPO 2007 GS 450H w/ 36k miles for $34k here in the Bay Area. The price might be a little high for some, but I added the Lexus 100k/6yr bumper to bumper extended warranty in addition to the 60k/3yr warranty CPO's already come with.

The dealer also threw in 6 oil changes or two years (which ever comes first) and free car washes for life

Completely stock with all options, ML, Navi, Flint Mica/Black interior and just super clean!

I am stoked. Came from owning an 01 Z06 for 5 years as my primary car, but with the power the 450H has along with the back seats and pure luxury comfort, I don't miss the vette at all.

Going in for my first mod tomorrow...

50% tint in the front and 5% in the rears and back window.

Learning a lot on this site.

The next thing I want is to upgrade the tamed front bumper... looking to get a simple front lip just to make it look slightly more full, I like the Carson lip that some of the members on here have.

OMG, C-5 interior was so cheap looking, but you can't deny the 5.7L V-8 muscle

So what additional coverage do you get [besides additional years/mileage] with the extended warranty vs the CPO warranty?

same, just additional years and miles, the thing that sold me though was it cut my interest rate almost in half... so instead of cash going towards interest, it's going towards the warranty and piece of mind.

Just to let you know you could have extended the CPO coverage up to 6 Years 100kand it probably would have been cheaper. If it was purchased at a Lexus dealer which I'm guessing since it's CPO.

I may have worded it wrong, it is the extended Lexus CPO warranty

too much? if so, not by much, maybe $1k at most? It is a CPO.

My 07 was sold to me by a friend working at the dealership. So I got the best deal possible. There is one for sale by me now exactly like mine, priced only a few more thousand than what I payed for mine...and I payed below cost. Prices on the GSh's are tanked... GS350awd is where the money is at.

Dealer is way high considering what the car is going through the auctions for $25k -28k.

Welcome to CL and congrats on the 450h. Carson front lip is no longer available for purchase unless bought used - check the classified and see if anyone is selling.
