I have a 2003 IS300 that is supercharged
Thinking about buying a used GS.


Would it be relatively safe to buy a GS400 with 10-20k miles?

 

very safe. the gs400 is a bullet proof car. the v8 block is very strong, and 10-20k miles is really NOTHING for the car at all

 

A supercharged IS and a GS4 are two great cars to have in the family

To be honest with you, finding a GS4 with 10-20K miles is almost a rarity, but if you can spot one, make sure it's in mint or excellent condition, and it will be worth the purchase. Good luck.

 

Hey man GS4 is a bulletproof machine, bluelex knows a guy that BOUGHT his with 150k and has had no problems!!

Good luck with ur search

 

What do you think is the best year GS4 to get?

I heard some peole not liking the 430 because of the drive by wire. Others have said the quality seems to be lower than the 400. Is this true?

I was looking online, but most listed are by dealers or used car sales. I rather buy from a private owner (cheaper).

Well, do you think it's possible to get a CLEAN low mileage GS4 for a decent price? I'm willing to travel up to 200 miles to purchase.

Where else should I look? Is there a site somewhere, where private owners post their cars for sale?

 

My advice: Wait, look in the papers, follow up on leads in autotrader, ect... I bought my 98 GS3 with 34k miles in perfect condition for 18,500

Personally I would take the GS4 because it has the e-shift, and i think that would be fun. I think both the GS4, and 430 are drive by wire, correct me if im wrong.
