I am looking at a 98 GS400, Silver with black interior. Car has 138k on it, stock 16's and no wing.

It does have the navi system though, although I am sure it is super outdated.

The owner can not verify a timing belt/waterpump change so I will have to add that to the top since I am not sure it has been done.

What is a good price for this car since the gas prices are a bit ridiculous now.

It also needs new tires.

purchased mines almost 3 weeks ago for $7500 excellent condition water pump & belts changed at 90k miles car had 107k miles. Sport package & navigation so simularly equipped. I would say 5-7k tops.

I'd lowball at 6k, then probably settle at 6.5k depending on what he has in mind.

$5500. I'd day. 6K If it's immaculate but if they can not verify timing, lean more towards 55.

Sure that's not 7200? 2700 sounds like a price for the 1st gen GS

Thanks guys.

He is asking 5k for the car. I have not seen the car yet.

I was thinking about offering 4k for the car, which is low but it is a 98 with 138k. Plus I have to spend more then 1k on timing belt, waterpump, tensioners, motormounts, and tires. I do like the silver with black though.

5k sounds like a pretty decent deal.

Even if I have to put $1200-$1500 into within the first month.

The guy who is selling said he stopped driving it due to the high gas prices and bought a compact car. My reasoning is that he is probably no longer insuring it and just wants to dump it.

Either way I agree 5k is not a bad price. I remember buying a 99 gs400 back in 02 for 24k. Prices have come down a lot since then, and those cars still drive about the same with the higher mileage. Can't beat a lexus.

asking 5k.. offer him 4k cash im sure he will jump on it... if not, meet him halfway...

I agree with that logic. Thanks
