welcome to CL! 38.5 seems fair. i know a few lexus dealerships that are trying to sell X amount of cars by the end of the month. seems like a great time to negotiate too!

^KWang, i know the feeling. i drove off the lot a few years back, and if you drive slow enough, you could hear the change trickling out of the exhausts. lol...but happiness overshadows the cost IMO, as long as the person can fully afford it.

It would be a phenomenal deal if it was actually fully loaded, but pretty unlikely it is for that price as that'd be over $1000 below invoice. People abuse that phrase a lot, especially people selling cars.

List the actual options you got for a better opinion.
