What was your trade in valued at?

The guy I bought from and traded to was a private dealer and he gave me 9500. I went to a Mercedes dealer that was selling a 2015 IS350 with 19k miles, in worse shape cosmetically than the one I bought and they were going to give me 10 for my G but they wouldn't come down to 24.

My G ran great and the interior was still in great shape but the paint had a lot of issues as well as curb rash on the rims.

Did you try CarMax? I had a 2004 G35 coupe with 120k miles and CarMax gave me $8k for it.

Nope, didn't even plan on buying a new car to be honest. I was laying in bed last week Thursday on the CarGurus app, searched Lexus, found that one, drove it Friday and picked it up Monday this week.
