Spac3Cowboy Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Thinking about buying a certified 08 GS350 pretty much fully loaded (minus adaptive cruise control). Dealer is asking $41995. Mileage is 20700 and the car is in excellent shape. Carfax shows no prior accidents and one previous owner. What do you think? What would be a fair deal? What should I look out for on these cars? I read about brake issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say helll nooo!! but thats just me...... if you really want a GS series get a GS430 or above.....sometimes you just need that V8 power!! cant go wrong with those.....

KrazyLexus Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 why when the GS350 out performs the GS430? IMHO for the price, you can get a 07 in the low 30s even some in the mid to high 20s.

Well, thanks for your opinion. I would never buy it for $42K either and we didn't. We got it for far less and think it was a good deal. Why get the V8 which has less power and worse fuel economy?

Thanks for your reply though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read about brake issues. I'd say you were in the ballpark. I bought mine (CPO'd fully loaded '08 GS350 appx 27k miles) for about $38k last July. It's only been a few months, but I've been very happy with it. It drives like a dream and has more than enough get up and go for the few times I've needed it.

KrazyLexus Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Yea it does matter. It's slower, worse fuel economy than the 350. So why get a slower car (even though it's a V8)? Give me a break.
