Its time for me to sell my GS and I am wondering how much people think it is worth. Especially since it is an unusual (and i guess less wanted) color.

Good:
-144,000 well maintained miles (service records avail online through lexus)
-Timing belt and water pump done 5k miles ago (with receipt)
-All original vin tags (all body panels are original)
-Tanabe Hyper Medallion exhaust
-Just passed inspection
-Transmission fluid just changed 2x with Toyota T-IV fluid
-Clean Title in hand


Issues:
-power tilt on the steering wheel doesnt work, but i had the automatic retract setting turned off (should be a couple hundred dollars to fix)
-There is one 3" scratch near the drivers door
-Theres a hole in the drivers seat leather.

 

Interested in swapping out your Tanabe for my stock exhaust + cash? Might have an easier time selling an otherwise stock car. That thing has been up for sale forever!

 

any up close pics of the damage?

 

i wouldn't pay more than 5.5k for it....

 

 

thanks for some feedback! Ive had it listed at $6k and have barely gotten any interest

 

yeah i dont know what People look for these days for a GS.... is it the quality of the car,records,price,parts... dont know....
im selling a GS thats was salvaged when i owned it fixed it and selling for 7500 with over 10k in performance parts and gotten little interest myself...
guessing car has to silver black or grey to sell...

 

yeah, unless its silver, black or white its basically impossible to sell. i have every maintenance record since new on the lexus website (last two owners only serviced at one lexus dealer) and even have the key card for your wallet. But its not the right color so its not selling...

 

This is such a beautiful color too! You would probably have an easier time selling it with stock mufflers though. An average person might think those "fart-cannons" (although a fantastic exhaust in my book) are a turn-off.

 

i would just get it painted at maaco or whatever and sell it for 6500. imo. also if you decide to part the exhaust i'll trade you my stocks and cash lol.

 

I would say $4500 would be reasonable, especially since it is not a super "popular" color.

 

nah man that would be a lowball. Show me one decent GS400 for that little...

 

I noticed this car has been posted in vehicle classified for a while, you still haven't sold it? looking at ur condition, I would suggest u fix all the problems first before selling it. get ur driver seat reupholstered. and the power-tilt fixed. saying that ur milleage is pretty decent for the car's age, u should be able to attract more buyers in better car condition. plus need to consider ur having unpopular color. imo, usually regular buyers will walk away when they see a car with problems in it. first impressions always matters man!

 

My gs was 2000 black/black with 127k miles and i sold it for 13.3k easily.

 

thank you to everyone for the helpful advice! It is really appreciated and why i love CL.

Does anyone know how much it would cost a shop to fix the power tilt? Lexus told me $600 which is ridiculous since the motor is like $200 max.

As for the TONS of people asking, i will trade the exhaust for stock... PM me your offers for it and ill see what happens
