Default OTD $53k Help!

http://touch.lexusstevenscreekmobile...448&id=3T02117
So I am in the market for a 460L. I found one local with all the options except adjustable rear seat. I was offered $53k otd. What do you guys think? I walked out and wanted to pay under $50k. Car has roughly 48k miles and is a CPO.

53 seems a bit high, but I would use searches that compare market value. I think cargurus is one. It will tell you if its a good, fair, or bad deal

I have a 2012 460L with the same options as this car. It's sticker price was $84K. If this was a 3 year lease return the buyout must have been around $42 - $44K. The dealer would have spent some money to certify it. You should be able to knock a few thousand off their asking price.

However a 460L with that color and options is rather tough to find and someone else might snap it up.

Good luck!

Some quick numbers a friend of mine just gave me since I was also curious about my next move:

Manheim Internet MMR pricing (high/low) averages are as follows..again, these are recent auction averages and not retail prices. Many brokers will charge usually $500 to $1K over auction for their trouble..just a tip if you want to avoid the stealerships

2007 LS460 SWB - 39 sales averaging $23K with 96K miles
2007 LS460 LWB - 11 sales averaging $25K with 91K miles

2008 LS460 SWB - 28 sales averaging $27K with 79K miles
2008 LS460 LWB - 6 sales averaging $27.9 with 92K miles

2009 LS460 SWB - 9 sales averaging $29.5 with 55K miles
2009 LS460 LWB - 24 sales averaging $37.2 with 60K miles

2010 LS460 SWB - 12 sales averaging $36.4 with 40K miles
2010 LS460 LWB - 6 sales averaging $39.6 with 49K miles

2011 LS460 SWB - 6 sales averaging $43.5 with 31K miles
2011 LS460 LWB - 7 sales averaging $47.2 with 25K miles

2012 LS460 SWB - 6 sales averaging $50.5 with 22K miles
2012 LS460 LWB - 8 sales averaging $55.4 with 12K miles

As a bonus:
2009 LS600hL (Hybrid) - 5 sales averaging $41.2 with 62K miles

i'll give you my honest opinion but in the end you'll want what you want.
i got my 07 ls460l with every option including rear seat package with cpo at 48k miles for $41,000
if a low mileage ls is what your looking for i'd rather save 10k and go with a later year. if i knew how trouble free this car has been so far i would have gone with a higher mileage and save 10k. when people say these cars run forever i believe it.
