Well,

I'm a lurker here. Mostly post in the electronics section (for my whole 3 or 4 posts ), just waiting to get a Lex...

Yesterday I picked up a used GS400 with 60000 miles, black, tan interior, HID, NAV, Spoiler, 17" Alloy wheels, heated seats, and moon roof all for slightly over $30k out the door (did I do good?????). It was an executive lease return...

So, hopefully, I can finally join this crowd I'd like to add something (maybe even something semi-intelligent ) at some point in time to the forum, but for now, I'm just absorbing. I've got a lot of ideas in mind, the simpler things first (like tint, trying to frost the driving lights...for now )

Just wanted to finally say Hi!

Thanks,

Tim

Congrats on your new purchase!!

I bought my used certified 98' GS for 34 out the door with 34k miles about 6 months ago. I don't have the nav or the heated seats. Hopefully this will give you a price comparison.

Congrats on the purchase and welcome. Get ready to spend some more $$ because once you are here, it won't take long.

That is a superb price! Blue Book on mine was 28k and I couldn't find anyone to go lower than Blue Book!

Good find!

Just by itself? Or should I have something to search for first?

I pushed the button a couple of times, but it just took me to a screen asking for more information...
