Default Is this a good deal?

I recent got quote for 2011 IS 350 15k mileage black/black with premium and 18' wheels for $32,500. Is this a good deal that i should take. The car condition is perfect. Btw, it is non certified, but if i want certified i have to add another 1k to it, what should i do? I asked for lower another $500 but the dealer won't budge......

I think that's a pretty good deal for an IS350; usually that's the price of a 250.

That extra 1k to make it certified will save u a lot of money and head aches in the long run. It's just gonna. Raise your monthly payments prob 10-30 bucks.

I am planning to pay cash whole...but somehow i think that 1k for certified kinda waste because it only cover 3 years or 100,000 mileage(which ever come first) from the day i purchase the car. The car i looking at still have 3 years of warranty left so ...is it really worth it? how can i drive 75,000 miles in 3 years? Am i even right on this? correct if i am wrong because i am a newbie

well it sounds like you've already made up your mind. you didnt mention the car having any warranty only being able to pay for it to be certified so thats the main reason why i suggested it. I bought mine certified and have made good use of what comes with it a few times already.

since you have the original warranty, getting CPO is kinda redundant.

However, if you wanted extra warranty, you can wait till your original warranty is almost up and then get extended warranty. If you do a quick search on this forum, you can get the contact of a lexus dealership who will sell you the extended warranty for about half the price a regular dealership would charge you. I think its around $1600; this extended warranty is almost identical to the normal warranty and can be used at any Lexus dealership. Just a heads up for you
