Won a 2008 Lexus 350.. What to do?

[Jynx]

Hey guys my uncle and a friend of his won a 2008 Lexus RX350 last night. He wants to get rid of it fairly quickly (trade to dealership) but is not sure what he should be asking for it? or what is a fair price?

Its brand new and fully loaded (navigation and all)


Any suggestions as to what dealerships he should talk to or what price he should try to get would be greatly appreciated.

The car is located in Edmonton.

Thanks.

he'll get more money if he sells it privately

surprised they don't offer the option to take the cash value rather than the actual item.

i think the cars are donated if its one of those fundraiser type things like cash and cars lottery, so that would explain not being able to take cash instead

Well it was the first place prize in a poker tournament at River Cree Casino last night...

Just don't post it on here only, people will lowball your car for 20K. :D

sell it privately for sure, use autotrader.

It depends what model it is. Navigation is offered only in these models:

Touring Edition $61,495
Ultra Premium $66,945
Ultra Premium w/18" wheels $67,845

Prices include: freight, PDI, a/c & tire tax.


Your uncle's best bet would probably be to sell it privately. If he prices it well it should go fairly quick.

Maybe Lexus of Edmonton would buy it back or take it on consignment?

EDIT:

From CarCost Canada, the WHOLESALE pricing:

2008 Lexus RX350 Touring Edition $55,646
2008 Lexus RX350 Ultra Premium w/18's $60,034
