2c5s Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I'm looking at a 1998 GS400 Black on black, no navi, chrome 17's w/ spoiler. VERY clean with 42,000 miles. He's asking 21k. Good deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imtheking Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 you can get a 2000+ for 21k. Maybe a little more miles but not that much. The GS has dropped in price a bit since the generation GS is coming soon. I wouldnt pay 21k for a 98. I had 53,000 miles on my 98 gs300 and paid 18k.

BA_GS400 Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Even though the 42k miles is really low, I don't think $21000 is a great deal. Probably not a total rip off, but, not a steal anyways. The 2001+ have some nicer features that I would GLADLY give up the extra 20,000-30,000 miles to have. ie. nicer tail-lights, and NAV with DVD instead of the hard-drive setup on older models, the minor steering improvement, In August 03, I paid 23,995 for a silver, very clean, 82,000 mile GS400 with NAV, htd seats, 17" chrome, CD, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good deal? ← Let me give you some wholesale number from dealer auctions in PA from last week: 2001 GS430 60K $17500 2001 GS430 25k $25000 2000 GS400 77K $17000 That should give you a good idea of what the dealers buy their cars for..should pay at most $2k more for a private sale.

The car had 47,000 miles and was equipped with the nav package, 17" factory chrome wheels and the factory spoiler. Silver exterior with the light gray interior. Car was in like new condition but needed tires. I couldn't be happier with the car or the price. Very difficult to find a low mileage GS400.
