Default How much would you pay for this GS..

Saw this while browsing and it really tempts me, would like to get an 01+ gs with black interior like mine, and the mileage is so low, still think they're over pricing by a few grand though..

Seeing that its from the "great frozen north", I WOULD NOT buy that car for any price. Rust sucks.

$6-7k cdn, what's so great about it? low mileage? That doesn't mean much on these cars

Why not just buy all the little 01+ interior parts? they pop up for sale pretty often and really make a big difference

Yeah I've swapped grilles to the newer version, would like to buy a lower mileage lexus at some point though, either another 2nd gen GS or 2nd gen IS.. btw I live in MN and my car is daily driven in the snow, there's not a speck of rust anywhere, nor any paint fading, I really haven't seen a GS that had much rust either.. I try to wash my car especially frequently in winter though

When I think of the cars you could buy with 15 grand, a GS300 does not come to mind regardless of the low mileage. Delete the thought from your mind immediately. LOL

I'm assuming you would be trading in the other Gs. If so I would only pay $7000 tops. So $11,000- $12,000 range in all. And I would only buy it if I had no intentions of ever selling it. There are better cars for that kind of money, but you like what you like. Good luck on your decision.

I wasn't considering paying anything near 15k for it, if it got down around 8ish I'd probably consider it
