Hello everyone! I want to sell my GS430. It is practically brand new and still quite beautiful. The reason I am selling is because my eyes have drifted over to the Mercedes Benz CLS.

My wife died recently and she had picked out this car shortly before she died. Everytime I look at it now, it reminds me of her. I want to sell the car quickly so I can take delivery on my new CLS.

The price that I have come down to is $49,000. With all the options in this car, the vehicle runs over $62k for MSRP, $57k for kelley blue value and $54k on invoice.

I paid cash for it, so there will be no trades or taking over of payments. I took my hit from this car and wish to find it a suitable home and a buyer who will take as much care of it as I have these past few months. The car is is wonderful condition, no scratches, dents or dings. The interior is also perfect. Non-smoker.
