Default suspension mod

I've been trying to sell my car for 2 months, but it seems that nobody is interested.
so i've decided to make some small mods to it.

what do you guys think i should do first; change exhaust or suspension?

what is the most popular suspension set up for gs430? and how much does it cost? and which exhaust can give the car the most HP increase?

one last Q: why is the market for gs430 isn't good? I put it for 41000 obo no nav and ML with 20000 mi. i live in bay area. does anybody know the reason? is the price too high?

thanx...

41 is a little much for a used car. i would drop it down to 35 and you may get some mroe calls.

I disagree...used GS430s are rare. There should be a demand for them and 35,000 sounds too low..check blue book.

Peace

Only one explanation for this.....RECESSION!!

You would have no problem selling this about a year ago. The valley has been hit hard as well San Fran area in terms of layoffs, etc. The stock market is helping any either.

I suggest you hold on too it, enjoy it a bit more. When the time is right than sell it or trade it in for another car. How about an IS300???

If you plan on selling it in the near future...why get mods? You won't get all your money back when you sell. Otherwise, keep it...slap on some TEIN FLEX coilovers and some Borlas like I'm planning to do!

that's what i thought so, recession!!
well this is what i am debating to myself... to mod or to sell..

if i am going for the mod, then i am not going to sell it in the near future. i'll just keep it for a little while longer.
anyhow i think 35000 is too low for this car.. thats the value i am going to get if i want to trade-in the car. For a private party, it's going to be higher than that, and does it going to make a diff in demand if i have the onyx blue color?

well thanx guys for the comments...
