Screaming Deals on 2011 Lexus GS
There's good news for Lexus fans. The redesigned 2013 Lexus GS 350 will hit dealer showrooms in February.
The best part - base price remains the same at $46,900 (plus $875 destination fee).
The 2013 GS 350 is vastly improved from the current 2011 version (the 2012 model year was skipped). In addition to all-new styling on the outside, it has a redesigned chassis, suspension and interior.
There are currently only around 300 of the 2011 models left on dealer lots right now. If you're open to buying one, you should be able to get a screaming deal - especially if they're still around when the 2013 version comes out.
Right now, you can easily negotiate $6,000 off the base price. Come February, that figure might be $8,000 or more.
Keep in mind the vehicle will be considered 2 years old at that time, so you should only consider buying if you intend on keeping it for a long time. Otherwise you may take a big depreciation hit.
My Recommendation for Car Shoppers
TrueCar, RydeShopper, and CarsDirect are the best way to see the lowest car prices in your area. These sites show you no-haggle prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually really good. This should be the first step you take when negotiating your car price. Follow this up with my checklist to make sure you squeeze out every last bit of savings.- Gregg Fidan
