Default *PICS* Amazing Deal on GS300...

Sup guys, I've probably spent about 40hours browsing these forums the last couple of weeks. There's some amazing looking GS300's here. This forum is gonna be my new homepage if I get this 99' GS300 on Tuesday 04/22.

What do you guys think about spending $7,500 on this...



The same day if I decide this GS300 is worth buying I will buy these 20" wheels...



The above wheels are out!!!

I'm thinking about spending about $400 more and get these...



I plan to bring a ton of useful information to these forums in regards to custom caraudio creation and subwoofer enclosure design. My other ride has about 300,000 youtube views and I plan to put the same outrageous system in my new Lexus :P...

Here's some of my work, if you click the top video it links you to other designs...

Let me know if you guys think it's a good idea if I should buy the above GS300 and 20" Akuza wheels or if I should wait for something else.

Thanks for any input,

I think the GS looks like a good deal, Id buy it! Im not sure about the wheels though, just not my style. But if you think theyd look good on it go for it.

I say definite yes on the ride though

wow, for your area, this car is a pretty good deal. the book value for that car is 10k in your area in good condition for private party. you would basically be getting it for trade in value if the price is negotiated to 7k. just be observant of all the usual things like service records, accidents, etc...

He started at $8500, but I got him down to $7500. The car is clean on carfacts, but has not yet had the 90k service. What does that mean for me?

i'd negotiate down to 7 due to no 90k servive. you will be spending about 1k for those services at the dealership, but that's when it is good to know people especially certified master lexus technicians. i got my service done under $400

I'm starting to recognize that this board is FULL of low-ballers lately... It wasn't like that years ago. Wow.

You admitted his first price was already a great deal, PLUS he even went a bit down from there. I'm going to guess that is going to accomodate the 90k service. I would be careful in continuing to low-ball, as he might just tell you to buzz off.

Go with the offer you guys made, reconsider those 20's as they are going to kill the great ride these cars already deliver. Then enjoy a great reliable car!

Good luck.

Gs is a sweet deal at that price but not really feeling those rims on a gs. It's your choice thought and what you want the car to be so best of luck.

make sure he sticks to his word on throwing in the 18 of bud light, don't want to miss out on that type of quality brew. and dont forget to buy two more tires, you'll probably screw up the rims if you only use 2.
