If you pass on that car please PM the link to me. I wouldnt mind a gs4 in that color if its clean (of course I was 19 many, many years ago, so for me its good that its an old man color ) ;-)

this is the thing with used cars. From experience at auction Green cars crappy colored cars IE red camry dont sell as well or as fast so like you are saying now you will pass. But if that was a spectra blue mica Gs430 (Doesn't exsist) it would be sold already or I would buy it. So for that condition car Preety clean looks maintained not riced no mods you wont get a different color same condition for that price. I only wanted a spectra blue mica And I got it but payed more than say a green one Green is also a cheap color. Am i happy that I waited yes but when is it too much time to wait for my first one i paid over 30 second around 20 now theres a fully modded spectra blue gs4 for I think under 20? but I wouldnt have got to drive my car for those years.

i would have bought it regardless of color... unless it was a god awful neon green or whatever... my reason is that you are inside the car most of the time and if the body is clean and the interior is clean.. what more can you ask for in a used car??? especially if you are saying that the cars are already rare in your area...

Buy a GS300. I own a 01' 430 and it's cool, but I've been dying to just get rid of it and do a GTE/V160 swap. Honestly, there isn't a world of difference between the two models other than a few ponies off the factory line. Again, all that can be taken care of with a few power adders. The decision is ultimately up to you, but unless your a die hard, gotta have it, V8 fan, than spending the extra money in school doesn't seem worth it. I just graduated from college and I bought mine my sophomore year, but I also worked full time as a Toyota tech so maintenance and other stuff other find to be a killer, came easy to me.

keep looking, something will come up.....was in your position 6 months ago, found a 2001 Mystic Sea Opalescent with 88k for $9200....the guy i bought it from took good care of it, got a lot of negative feed back from a lot of people b4 i bought it but i saw the color and loved it, nobody couldn't change my mind from buying it....if u not getting that feeling, then i wouldn't advise you to buy it....u wouldn't appreciate as much....i'm 20 and that color was definitely not an option...loll

yah thas a nice color, especially if u go VIP just need sum rims and a drop that **** would look Sauce. Im just saying hes trying to pay less cant pay 10k 12k
8k is a good deal since gs300 99 98 are selling for 8k
Doesnt anybody got a champagne done up like the antique bronze the other ugly color LOL so we can see how it looks stock and NOT

This is false.. I stated my opinion on the color, and I questioned whether it's worth buying it due to it being an amazing deal or to just wait out for a better color.. knowing GS guys would understand the odds of finding another one in a different color.
