Default Price for 2008 GS460??

Hi
What should I be paying for a 2008 GS460 with 60k miles in good to excellent condition? New tires One ding in rear bumper, 3 scrapes behind the front drivers wheel - fender that someone tried to touch up with wrong color paint. Also has drilled and slotted rotors.

Asking $32995, now down to $29995. Not CPO. I think $30k is also to high though. I am thinking closer to $25k.

What do you GS experts think?

That's way too high. GS prices have come down quite a bit in the past few months. Car wholesales in the $22-24k range depending on color and condition. If its got a clean Carfax and is a decent color you should be $26-26500 on that one, I'm assuming the dealer out new tires on it? Even $27k isn't silly, but $30k. Yeah you can find one with miles in the upper 30s to 40s for that kind of money.

What color is it? Pearl White (especially w black interior) is $1500 premium, black over black $800-1k

Carfax and "Lexus Drivers" info good, nothing outside of ordinary. Color- Dark Charcoal with Dark Charcoal interior. Miles is the big problem -I agree. I think I would do $26k but will shoot for $25k

From what I've seen those figures above apply to the GS350's but the OP's question was GS460's...

^ you may not want to hear this but that's a very strong number. At least here in the states I can't say what they sell for in your Country.

Thats a really good price and I would have snatched that price, but maybe the exchange rate is different from US money could be less where you are, care to clarify.

Our currency is pegged to the US Dollar! So fluctuation in the Japanese Yen affects us just like you!

I bought my car in July 2009 for $61k

$26k seems too low but would be a steal. $27k-28k may be more inline. Checkout the 08 GS460 Pearl/Black at Mercedes Dealer in Billings, MT. Great color combo, 36k miles, $30,994 though.

That's the same price as a typical 460 was back then here in the US. So the offer you got for your car is great then.
