Hello All

I am making a offer on loaded 98 gs 400 (nav,hid) it has 75,000 miles on it (25,000 miles left on tranferrable warranty)and in very good condition (a few small scratches here and there) is 26500 to much to pay for a mics blue one.

thanks for any input

that color is hard to find. If it has the 17" chrome rims , Spoiler, good tires I would really look at getting it. They sell for that or more at the dealer with no warrantee. Or fully loaded.

To be honest I wouldn't pay more than $25,000 for that car and it would have to have HID, 17's , spoiler at that. I have seen many, and one recently on Ebay sell for $21,100. It was a 98' Spectra Blue GS400 with 80,000 miles(5k mile diff.) Granted the most that the warranty could be worth is $1,900 we are now up to $23,000. Now make sure you find out before you buy it if it has 17's/ Spoiler. That would increase the value by $1500 to $2k, bringing the final total to around $25,000. Tell the dealer all this and maybe he will come down on his price. The mileage is a little high for that price, $26.5k(not for a GS though these babies will last 150k+ ).
