Default GS460 Worth This Price?

I literally stumbled across a white over black 2008 GSW460 with 130K miles last weekend....
The body and paint looked perfect, the interior had some small fraying on the drivers seat but perfect other than that the owner was asking $8,500 sounds like i should talk more with him?

If you can pick it up for $7,500 that would be a good deal on it. Just make sure to ask about the brakes abs module and if it was ever replaced. If it wasnt, they are pretty pricey when they do go out.

Almost sounds too good to be true. Clean title? If you check online, a similar GS460 with similar mileage goes for 11-12k.

That's a good price. As long as the maintenance is up to date and the car is in good shape, you'll be very happy with your purchase.

About 3 grand to fix, run the vin on mylexus.com and see if the abs pump has ever been replaced. Some last 90k some will last 200k. You can always find a used abs pump. They run about 600-$800

If the car is clean go for it! You can use the abs issue to help lower the price if it hasnt been replaced.

I sold my 2009 with 80k miles on it for 11k.

The dreaded ABS module is a pain in the *** on the V8 models.

I managed to source a used one on ebay for 600 bucks, it had 6 months warranty on it and lasted me 2 years until I sold the car. the new owner hasn't complained since.

I sold the car in April 2018.

Hey Designo, long time no see!

Ive been seeing the abs pumps/modules last longer in cars that are in cooler climates.
