Anyone here have a Lexus GS or LS model? 2007+

Generally Texans average 15k miles a year, so you are more than likely going to be looking at a 11 or newer to be under 50k. Not that lower mile cars arent out there, but you'll need to pay for it. Mardyn's example is considered low miles at roughly 10k/yr.

Yeah you're right. I've been watching manheim and I'm seeing sub 50k cars selling for around 18k or so. That's where I'd like to be. MMR falls between 16 and 18 on the GS models. It looks like the LS models are going for mid 20's. I'd have to drive one to see if I want that much more room. Right now the wife has an Avalon, and I believe the LS is the same chassis.

Mine = literally driven by little old(er) school teacher.

They offered me $15K trade (plus the sales tax credit) last Spring against a new Toyota, I'm hoping for similar numbers again at this point.

PM me your email if you want more pics.

That's about right. Generally they will offer you a few thousand below auction so they can cut it loose without a loss if they can't move it. Around that price is tempting, but I'm going to guess they might come in a little lower this time around. If they do let me know I might be interested for the right price. I'll give you more than trade+tax savings almost certainly.

yeah, that was against a 2014 new purchase, I'm going to get her a 2015 something... going to look at 'em tomorrow.

You may already know about this but you can check dealer service history on any Lexus vin here.

I forgot to mention that on the GS you would want to confirm the valve spring and cam gear recalls have been done. I think there is also a fuel rail seal that needs replacing.

Again, stay away from the 300.

I love Lexus. Only luxury car I'll own. Buddy of mines sister died and I'm picking up her 08 ls460 with 18k miles loaded for 22k. 😎

[CJ]

that's a good price.

[War Machine]

that's a good price.

Yeah I could resell it for close to 30. Ol lady wants it so....


You'll love your Lexus. BMW Mercedes Audi all are nice but no where near as cheap to maintain or repair

Precisely the reason I'm not in the European market. My brother has owned nothing but Audi's for years, but I can't stomach the parts cost.

Everyone should own a BMW once. Enjoy it for a couple of years then get rid of the fucker before it hits 100k. They really are great cars, as long as they aren't in the shop.
