Purchase Opinions Please...


Recommended Posts

Never had a Lexus, but plenty of Toyotas, including my 95 Avalon with 197k. Here in the Midwest, I am currently looking hard at a 98 GS300 with the following characteristics:

* 140k miles

* 2 owner, 2nd purchased CPO very early

* 100k service has been performed

* Timing Belt has been replaced

* Service outside of oil changes performed at dealer - owner has service records

* The radio LCD display is fading

* Options: Leather, heated seats, CD, moon

* Asking price 7300

With the service history, and planning to put 25k per year on the car, does this make sense to do? Is the LCD issue a quick fix? Also what are some other things to investigate on the '98?

Lastly, does the 98 have an Interference Engine?

Many thanks!

Sorry don't know a lot about the Gs', but I know the radio backlight can be fixed, you need new leds in the back (at least that was the fix on SC's). 140k miles isn't a lot, I would expect it to go well into the 200's, prob up to 3000 if you take care of it. Seems like a pretty good deal if you ask me.
