440racer Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I've been offered a 2000 gs 300 with 210,000 miles for about $6900 I'm told the car has had all recommended service completed on time by Lexus which I will verify. Any feedback on the price, what to look for, what to avoid and what kinds of questions to ask? I've never owned a Lexus but have always admired the GS.

djspawn00 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 well if it runs great and everything else is in tip top shape.. $5900 would be a good deal... $6900 not so much... considering its not fuel efficient... and you probably have to change the timing belt again...

Yes, I thought $5900 was more reasonable also. I may offer that and see what happens. I saw some posts on changing the timing belt and I think I could handle that. You mentioned the mileage. I just noticed your post below. 16-18 is pretty low. I think my wife's 3.5 ltr pathfinder gets 19-22. I really liked the gs300 we drove this weekend but that kind of mileage scares me a little. Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeC81 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 How many miles can you get out of a gs300? for a car with that many miles; don't you have to change like spark plugs, timing belt, water pump, etc? man, that's like 1 gram right there.

99GS300G Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Seems like high mileage to me. More miles...more problems if all the parts didn't get changed out. I'd pass first, but if I were seriously interested I'd offer $4,500. You can get a decent 98-01 with 50K-80K miles for $9K-$10K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
