Default New 2018

Looking at a new 2018. Never been titled. Has 400 miles. Apparently owner of the dealer has been driving it a little. Is that a common? They say it has never been tracked. Could I possibly ask for a little more off the asking price? They are asking 69k but it’s an out of state so I’d have to factor in shipping it. Thanks for the advice.

Basically its a demo, I would ask for more as the deals on the GS-F are still good, for 18' I believe. Also they are not selling as many. It is a good deal though, just the fact that its a demo I would ask for a little more off it, I would ask them for the shipping cost and just have them take it off.

A lot of GSFs were demoed and a lot were tracked. Hard to really say if a GSF has been tracked, ones with only 400 miles could be tracked but unlikely since the GSFs I know of that were tracked before sold had a few thousand miles on them.

If its been tracked the tires and brakes have probably been replaced - look at the service history for that info.

I almost purchased a used 2016 that was owned by the owner of the Lexus dealership. He also owns a LFA. My uncle who owned a car dealership, used to drive his new cars as demos as well. So I think this is not uncommon.
69K is a great price so they might not budge - especially now that GSFs are getting pretty rare - but it doesn't hurt to ask. Good luck!
