Default Anyone Interested in selling or know of a gs400/430 for sale?

Maybe a long shot but thought I'd post and see if anyone is considering selling their 400 or 430. My First color options is black/black but will settle for a silver/blk. Pm or reply here with info please. Thanks

Never have I seen so many in one state on CL, Florida has ALOT of GS', I guess because RWD is more popular since no snow :-) Good luck fishing for a clean one!

I'm 10 steps ahead of you regarding craigslist... I use searchtempest which combines all the craigslist ads in different states. I'm always looking on Craigslist and searchtempest. The ones for sale on Craigslist and Miami are not what I'm looking for.. either too rough, mileage not accurate, too many issues etc. Thank you for the advice, but was hoping to find a nice one owned by a true enthusiast/someone that actually cares abkut the car and not someone who just put it back together after a crash and looking to make some money lol.

I'm also searching for a GS to build. Hard to find in one in good conditions, decent mileage, and low pricing.

Damn your real serious about finding a good one. Your searching the whole country! I only went as far as driving up to PA but I got lucky when I paid 12k for mine when I bought it 4 years ago wit 90k miles. I was getting stopped all the time, even by someone in an escalade asking me to sell it right now for what I paid because it was so clean everyone was like where did you find it. I did pay top dollar but the rest were around 10k and not in good condition or didn't have the timing belt changed. It's amazing how the price dropped a lot on the car but I don't even think I would sell mine for 10k now because I would never be able to find a car in better condition to replace it, even for the whole 10k. Find one from an OCD owner like me who replaced everything with OEM the minute I heard a noise or felt it driving funny ;-)

I found 1 in maryland that has over 200k and cluster has been swapped and now reads 113k. Would really appreciate it if another clublexus member would check it out for me. So if anyone knows someone/another member that would be willing to do this for me and live in or near the Hyattsville maryland area please let me know either by pm or post in this thread. Thanks

2k4... that's the problem I've been having alao. Alot of sellers are not honest abiut their car and when I run the carfax or get inspection the car isn't as described. Frustrating because I've sold many 400s and 430s to people including a few clublexus members and the cars were always as described if not the car was better condition than described!!
I know someone knows of a nice 400 or 430 out there that's maybe taking up space in garage or its time to move on to another project lol. Let me know

These cars are pretty hard to find nowadays that haven't been "vip'd out." 02msmg3, I'm assuming that's why you sent me a friend request?

Man, this is so surreal. I am a sneaker collector, dj, and fell in love with the VIP style while living in japan.

Reason why I say this is because its almost like when I am shopping for exclusive sneakers, music, with only 1 size or record left. Now I am seeing everyone traveling everywhere for that last "clean GS". Im new to the game searching for my first one in the next few weeks and I am like "hey, this guy/gal is sniffing around in my neighborhood" haha. It's one thing for it to happen but when you see people in action writing about it on forums, it is so different. You cats be traveling lol

But it's fun and exciting- almost feels like a secret club lol

I'm in the same boat, I want a silver or black Gs430 with a black interior in good shape, I've found a couple in good shape, but I'd prefer one without the spoiler, and it seems like they all have spoilers..

Had her up for sale about two years ago, but plans changed. Was able to hold on to her.
