Default Thoughts on this deal?

Morning everyone,

Wanted to get everyone's thoughts on a 4th gen GS350 last night.

This is my first Lexus and I am absolutely in love.

2013 GS350, 58K on the odometer
Black on black
RWD
Navigation
18" split 5 spoke wheels
Park assist
Premium package

The car is a CPO, sitting on the lot since November. Clean carfax, two owners.

It was marked down for $27,500, all the way from $34K.

I bought it for $26K.

Seems like a good deal, but I'm curious to know your thoughts...

Will be sharing pictures soon.

Holy crap. So that's what '13s are going for now? Our loss is your gain lol. Sounds a bit low for the mileage though. You checked the service history and carfax I assume? If everything checked out then congrats!

I would say for a Certified pre owned you got a good deal, Most Normal lots are still trying to get 29k for them... Im in the market for a 13 but want 40k miles or less ,and want to pay around 26 like you did, but the ones I find are the wrong color or wrong package...

That was a very good deal. You had a few things working your favor:
-Car was on the lot for a while suffering from "lot rot" costing them more to hold it...they really wanted to sell it so your timing was good
-The car is RWD and here in the northeast most people prefer AWD due to the winters. However, like many on the forum will attest, a good set of winter tires on a RWD car is perfectly fine for a few inches of snow.
-AWD adds to the price of the car. RWD GS's seem to sell for a lot less than their similarly equipped AWD counterparts.

Congrats and enjoy! Any pics?
