Here is the info on the vehicle. They are asking 39k . How much do you think would be fair for a trade - Certified 2002 GS3 with 44k miles + ???????? = 2004 GS430

 

It looks like somebody on ebay just picked it up for $36,700 - unless that was you.

 

where did you see that?

Look at the offers history.

 

I see it now, thats rediculous. the second I look at it it sells. How much would you ask tho?

 

Well, certified w/ low miles (and taking a look on cars.com), i think you could maybe get $25-28K private. The dealer will most likely give you much less on a trade.

If you just want to get into a 430, save some money and go for an '01 or an '02. You might be able to pull off a straight up trade if you go up on the miles a bit.

 

I will look around, if I can find a trade within 3-5k I can do it. You think I should hold off on modding?

 

It's all a matter of personal preference. For me - the stock V8 is plenty fast. If you want to go all out w/ turbos, engine swaps, etc... then the 300 is the way to go. Good luck!
