LOL. then again, she said that this was her first time buying a car on her own... so I kind of cut her some slack. I think I brought up this conversation everyday for about 3 months because I was in such disbelief. It's weird, she's also a good bargain finder... but getting this car through all credibility out the door HAHAHA

The gs450h we have was 92,000 with everything on it with tax and everything..
KBB- 26,000...

its really sad... but its really a buyers market for the 4th Gen GS used... Happy Hunting!
Can you break down the 92,000? What was the tax and everything?

I'm only asking because the tax in certain counties in CA is close to 10% or more so I'm just wondering what was the actual cost of the car by itself.

I want to say the price of the car was like high 70K low 80K, but can be certain without looking at the contract. I just remember all these packages being added on..

Our sales tax here is 9.8%. It's not that big of a deal on regular purchases but you sure feel it on big things, like cars.

probably a little of depreciation is also because car handles great
rides little stiff for market segment
look are subjective with styling some like some dont i happen to like it
and the more i looked into this the gas mileage was a deal breaker i have a friend that drives his in sport a 15 f sport over 19000 miles he's averaging 14.7
times have changed this not what a class leading company should be doing with design or economy i won't reference the b word for starting a issue with getting the crazies started but do some comparison of a 535 which rides better on highway and average almost 26 mpg with more power
yes the issue with repairs, but really 30% -40% in gas not me
i might be selling my rx due to getting a 4 turbo i put 30,000 miles a year on it

I like the 535 A LOT, but i'm concern with long term reliability, a shame, but read some horrible stories on different BMW forums and all over the internet as this car I get I will keep it at least 7 years. So imho, the Lexus is the wise option.

For $28k for a '13 GS Luxury with 38k miles, I'm pretty happy with my decision. Car has been flawless. Only big complaints are the gas mileage and outdated infotainment interface. But I really do like getting in the car everyday, and that's what counts.
