Default Looking at '08 GS 350

Is it worth $33,500?

One owner bought locally from flow lexus. Has 21,600 miles and is fully loaded. White with cashmere interior. Not scratches or dings. Simply perfect inside and out.

I have an '06 LS and this one is for the wife.

I would say no. A bit old for the price. The mileage is great, but it's not CPO. If it were CPO, I would offer 30K OTD. I have an 08 BTW.

I just bought an 08 350 AWD with 39,000 miles for 25K. The low mileage on the car you're looking at is great but no matter what the mileage says, it's still 5 years old.

I agree with ibidu1 that you could get a much newer car for just a little more, or save a lot of money by getting a vehicle with more mileage.

my .02 cents

Yeah that price sounds a little high. Sucks but the market for 3GS has dropped which is good for you but bad for the seller. $25K would be a fair price in this market. The 4GS base is 47K with just nav, you could go that route.

Before tax season, at the auctions the higher mileage 4GS were bringing high 39 low 40's but now in the 42's.
