Default 2010 RX 350: Buy now or wait?

I'm looking at a 2010 with 15,000 miles, no navigation. The dealer is asking 36,000 as the "internet price" whatever that means. Seems a little high, no? I plan to offer $30,000. What would be a good amount to settle on, assuming the car is in as excellent condition as they claim? Will see the car tonight.

On the other hand, maybe better to wait to the end of the year?

Have you checked out True Car, Edmunds, KBB etc. to see what their Used Car calculators show? They are a good start and can give you some idea of what a car like that should go for. The dealers usually don't agree with them, but it gives a starting oint.

Yep, True car says a good price would be under 34,500.
Edmunds TMV is only 32K.
I don't think I looked at Kelley.
I just think this price is high because yesterday I saw one going for 34K with navigation.

Kelley says $40,875, seems way high.

I guess the Buy Now option Won! Congratulations again!
Go get yourself a reliable garmin for navigation.
yes, the navigation is a Fun and cool feature to have, but you won't be using it everyday unless your place of work/grocery/gym etc changes location every week.
