Default 50k miles on a 2002 GS430 LOADED

Since I've been able to benefit so much from the knowledge on this board with my GS430, I figured this is the best place to start. I am entertaining moving on from my baby to make some room in the garage. So, what can you guys tell me about the market for a 2002 Crystal White/Ivory ML Navi and 17in chrome stock wheels?

As a testament to the reliability of this luxury performance sedan and the enduring attraction- I see a lot of high mileage clean cars on here.

What are your thoughts on the demand for a 1 owner, lexus serviced, 100% stock (minus iPod adapter installed at Lexus), "best color combo" Lexus GS430 with only 50k original miles?

From my Dealer experience, my book says your car is worth Market $13K Private Sale, $15K Dealer Retail. and NADA says it around the low $18's.. Seeing how this this car has such low miles you can throw out the book since its so kept up. If it was my car I would ask $17,500 for the car and would not budge below $16,500.. IS very fair for the year and mileage you got.. Good luck!

Nice car.. but "best color combo" for that year if your car is white with Black interior... not ivory.

Thank you for your opinion and compliment on my car. However. I respectfully disagree with you. There is nothing like a clean, bright ivory Lexus interior. Then again that is only my opinion too

Nice car with low mileage , just not feeling the color combo tho, it would be "uber hot" if it's white & black, just my 2 cents.

If you like vanilla....hehehe..

Sorry, me and white cars don't agree with each other. But nonetheless, nice whip and a no brainer when it comes to buying

Thanks for agreeing it is a No Brainer. Now, just to determine the best way to advertise her. Do you guys think AutoTrader or Cars.com or word of mouth is best?

Just wanted to give you an idea. I bought mine last year. Mine is '01 GS430. 100% stock. Black on Black. Looked brand new with Navi. Still looks brand new. I bought it when it was at 41K original miles 1 owner. I am second owner and it's currently at 60K. Paid $15K for it out the door.

Thank you for the insight. That is very helpful. By the way, where did you find it?

By the way- I just wanted to add that it has every single service record (hugh stack) all from Lexus Dealership. Also, I put a brand new battery in it this August.
