Default Buying suggestion needed.

Hello tp the people of greatest forums,

Iam trying to get a 2008 Lexus GS with 160k miles for 8700. The carfax report looks good with good maintenance. Iam currently using a 2007 toyota camry hybrid. Will be selling it soon. Iam attaching the carfax below. Please suggest me if everything looks good. Thanks!

Unless that car is super super clean, imo its priced a bit high for that mileage. Maybe its worth 6500-7000 but an

I agree a tiny bit to high 7500 would be ideal for that milage I bought my 2007 for 9500 two years ago with 80k and felt I paid a little to much

I paid 2k for my 06 it's still mint. I put maybe 3 or 4 thousand into it but it's all brand new original parts that will last. I got high hopes for this car. Maybe Lexus will give me a new one if I get to a million miles haha

I've seen 350 go for real cheap. Just keep lowballing people and complain about everything. Someone will bulge.

Not many around me. Just around 5-6 with more than 119000 miles. My price range is 8-10k.

These cars with lower miles, dont be hesitant to negotiate the prices. Cars that are priced high for sale sit for awhile and people sometimes get annoyed, when someone offers a grand or two off their crazy high price, many will let it go for sake of having cash in their pockets. Be patient!

That one for sale looks pretty clean, but I think its priced a bit high for the mileage. Its good that your sticking to 08-up to get the newer front end/electronics/aux etc.
