Default Should I Sell my 2006 Lexus GS 300 AWD with $180K miles ($4K external mods) for $10K?

I called my cousin and I offered him this car for $10K and he said he will take it. I hate losing the money I spent on it but I don't like the carbon build up issue that might happen again. WHat would you do? My car is a 2006 Lexus GS 300 AWD (carbon buildup done 40K miles ago), I also got a $2,200 insurance claim on the front but looks like a 2" dent. I kept the $2,200.

After seeing multiple threads you've started about carbon build up, new car itch, and advice as using it as a spare, you should just sell the thing. Do whatever makes YOU happy, starting multiple threads yet at the same time being indecisive about your issue won't really get you anywhere.

Sounds like you are unhappy with your vehicle, jump ship like you've mentioned in your other thread and sell it.

^ This. Sell it and be done with it already. The advice you've received in previous threads are evidently not holding much value. You want a new car, and we know it.

yeah..sell it, especially if you've already pocketed the $2k for repairs.

Even without pics, i doubt I'd buy your car for 10k (no offense).

If you can get 10k you better take it quick. I see 07-08 350s with half the mileage in my area going for that much.

Good deal, especially considering 2k in damages you got from the insurance company.
