How to Buy a Used Lexus Gs300

Purchasing a used Lexus Gs300 is a process that can be easily accomplished by knowing the steps involved. First, you will need to research the model year of the Lexus Gs300 you would like to purchase, then find out the average price for that particular model. With this knowledge, the purchase process becomes a manageable task.

Instructions

1

Know which model year Lexus Gs300 you would like to purchase. There are various options available for different years of this model, and the car's price will vary based on these features. For instance, newer models with navigation or satellite radio, as well as features such as seat warmers are optional features that will add cost to the base price.

2

Look up the Kelley Blue Book value for the model year Lexus Gs300 you want to purchase. Keep in mind that this value will change depending on the amount of miles the car has on it. The lower the number of miles, the more expensive the car will be. Typically, the car should have no more than 12,000 miles per year. If you are buying a 2006 Lexus Gs300 in 2009, it should have about 36,000 miles on it. If it has less than that, the car will be more expensive. If the car has more than that, the car's value will decrease.

Visit various online car purchase websites which will help you locate vehicles for sale in your region, matching your needs and wants. See the Resources section for links.

4

Make an appointment to test drive a Lexus Gs300 of the year of your intended purchase. Always test drive any used vehicle, and ask to receive the Car Fax report for that specific vehicle. A Car Fax report uses the Vehicle's Identification Number (VIN) to detail how many owners the car has had, how many accidents it has been in, and whether or not the car was considered "totaled" by an insurance company because of flood damage or accident damage.

5

Explore your financing options. If purchasing from an individual seller, you will need to provide your own financing--either cash, credit or exploring personal loan options. If purchasing from a used car dealership, you will be able to utilize various bank loan options to purchase the vehicle.
