Default WTB: '98 GS with NAV

Hey all,

I'm looking for a '98+ GS with NAV for around $25K.

color preference is Blue/Silver/White and in that order.

Please let me know if you know of any out there...

I may consider a GS400 without NAV if the price is right!

Thanks,
Allen

A dealer in CA that I bought my GS has a Blue Spectra 99 GS300 with NAV, HID, Heated Seats, and (I think) Lo-jack with 36000 miles for $28000 or $29000. He just put it on Ebay so email me if you are interested...........

I appreciate the lead on the car, but I was honestly hoping to get a GS400 for that price.

I'll pass on that one, but thanks for letting me know!

actually, with all the searching on the net and the fact that I'm willing to travel for the car, I have come across MANY GS4's with NAV for $25K, but the mileage tends to be around 70K (or a little more) and that is private party market value.

I have a broker that gives me the prices for GS4's through Lexus lease return auctions out of Fontana, Vegas, and some other west coast locations. For a GS400 with 60-70K the cars are going for $22K-$23K. Given I have to pay a brokerage fee of $1K and shipping of $400, I'm still at around $25K.

So if I'm patient, I figure that I can find one at a very good price.

Let us know if you have found one, one way or the other. Good luck. I'm curious to know the latest prices.

so far, I've found:

a '98 Spectra Blue GS400 w/93K, NAV, Xenon, etc...for $23K.

a Silver '99 GS400 w/76K NAV, Xenon for $25K (maybe even lower).

of course these are clean cars with no accidents, service records, no paint work, etc....

But still looking for a GS400 with a little lower miles and possibly back of book a bit.

now I'm even pondering a GS300 with a bolt on turbo kit...

anyone else know of any good deals out there?

please let me know.

thanks again,
Allen

Default My gs400 w/nav

I bought a black gs400 with navigation with only 56,000 miles at the first of the month from an individual. I paid 26,500. The car had every option.
