Hi everyone,
Newbie here.
Just got a used 2006 GS 300 at a lexus dealership for dealer sticker was $31,900 negotiated to $28,600. $31k with tax/license fees. Only 1 owner, he leased it from Tustin Lexus(also where I purchased it) and leased a newer model. In excellent condition.
Here are the specs:
Mileage: 46,928
Exterior: Black
Interior: Black
Fully loaded with navi, bluetooth etc, except ML and parking assist.
Came with chrome rims ($2k in value) and tinted windows.
This also came with CPO 3year/100k warranty.
Since I barely got it last Tuesday. Was wondering about the navigation...is all the '06 models screen grainy? Is this the old dvd or the screen's fault?
I haven't tried the override yet for the bluetooth. Was wondering if it's worth the upgrade?
Thank you!

Congrats on the new car. Your car has about the same milage and options as mine, so it gives me some idea of what my car is worth (though after subtracting the dealers markup, I'd get killed if I traded it in).
Anyway, the navigation issue you're talking about is with the screen - even if you upgrade the software/DVD, it'll be the same. The problem is that the resolution on the screen is too low - something they improved with the 2007 model, I believe. I've been trying to find a way to replace the screen without replacing the whole unit, which is a costly proposition, but haven't found anything yet.
Enjoy your new car!

thanks for your response. i just hope there's some way...later that we can change the screen for a better resolution. right now i like the bypass feature that you can't do with the newer models.

now that you mention the price and miles you got your car for i feel like i kinda got ripped off.. i just bought my 06 gs300 last week with a 3 yr/75k mile warranty for $33000 the only diff is mine had 26k miles and mine was black on beige

Hi there -- I, too, just bought an '06 GS300 with 45k miles. I got it for 27,800 so I think it was a pretty good buy. I traded my 06 IS350, which was fast and fun but just too small. The resolution on the IS350 was ALOT better but I can live with this given the increased size and other features (rain sensing wipers, memory seats, Levinson, sunshade). Anyway, I was wondering...what is the bypass and how does that work? Thanks and enjoy your new cars!

Femmert here....sounds good to me. I bought one last Spring with the same specs and mileage
under the CPO program. Only difference is mine has AWD and the hard-riding run-flat tires...
Thank you!

I bought mine fully loaded with 29K miles on it for $28,500 and thought that was good deal but you beat me!
Enjoy your new vehicle and welcome to the club.
