Buy now or wait for new GS model to come out?
I wanted to get some peoples opinion about this. I am currently shopping around for a 98-00 Lexus GS 400. Since a new body style is coming soon, do you think the prices will fall?
What do guys think is a good deal on 98-00 GS400 with around 50-60K miles?
Thanks for all your help

NileLegend,
While speculation is always a fun thing, I think you can parallel the Lexus market with the feelings of the BMW crowd over the new "angry jack-o-latern" look of the 7 and new 5 series.
With the release of the current BMW style in full swing, I have not talked to anyone with a "dated" generation BMW that is compelled to purchase the new cars based on the visual fact that their current ride is no longer "new".
Until loyal Lexus owners get to see and feel the new GS in person it's going to be hard to gauge how many people will like the new styling. If it's a hit you may see an abundance of 2nd gen GS's on the market.
If it's a draw ( many think it looks to much like the current Maxima ), I think you are going to see no change in the current availabilty and price movement (beyond sensible depreciation).
