All,
I am currently considering a '94 lexus ES300 with 101k miles on it. It doesn't seem to have any real issues on first blush, except that the instrument cluster lights are starting to die out. I visited my local lexus dealer and they told me that ballpark it would be between 1000 and 1500 to fix it. Is this a reasonable cost, can it only be done by the dealer, and is it a reasonable bargaining chip when dealing with the used car dealer? the dealer wants around 7k for the car.
