Gsf up for sale

The dealers cannot keep a car for sale for more than a certain number of days. If a car is on the forecourt for too long unsold, it looks bad for that dealership, so they move cars around.

When buying a car, my salesman said “it’s being moved tomorrow, so you need to pay sticker price today or you’ll miss out”. I’m not sure he was prepared for my reply of “that’s more cost for you, and maybe the other dealership will be prepared to deal - I typically travel hundreds of miles to get the right car & deal, so no worries”. Funnily enough, we did agree a good price on the car that afternoon…. and it remains the shortest ever distance I’ve had to travel to buy and collect a car!

The shortest distance I have travelled to pick up a car was a 90 mile round trip. The longest being just shy of 600 miles round trip. Always worth it when the price is right, plus you get to drive your new toy for a decent stint 😛

fair price for the age, mileage and owners......

I'm looking for a run-around......!!!

Our 1 owner from new with only 32k miles seems very well prices at £40k then!  🙂

Only if you're a dealer taking your £4-5k margin into consideration......

I wish, we had to look after him and we will spend a chunk after properly prepping the car, 80k service etc there wont be anywhere near that.  Why wouldn't you pay a bit more to buy a special 1 owner car from a Lexus dealer after the checks and warranty for peace of mind?

Chris, happy for you to participate in these forums personally but traders soliciting business are against the forums T&Cs unless you wish to become an approved trader. I've given your advert a few hours airtime because if might help someone here looking for a GS F but I have to pull it now.

[Chris Olds]

No worries Colin I understand, this is all my personal views I just work for Lexus Bristol and thought it would be a great car for someone!

Was that straight out of "car sales 101"?
