Default How much to do a conversion kit HID installation??

Posing that question on a 2002 GS 300?? How much would it cost me for the HID conversion kit, and how much for the installation??? Let me know thanks.

Also, question, how much would you pay for a premium package, no HID, no NAV, 10k miles, was once stolen off the dealer lot GS 300? Crazy huh, dealer has one right now and have not been able to get rid of it??

Buy or no buy??? They are offering the full manufacturers warranty plus the Cert. Preowned warranty on it??

Input suggestions is always appreciated.

Thanks.

I turned down a GS4 when I was looking at a great price that had been stolen off the lot. I later learned it was found at the airport parking lot in Miami - the thief had driven it straight there from NC, and the time stamp on the airport ticket showed that he had to have driven some crazy speeds to get there.

I'd pass, you never know what happened to it. You know the phrase "drive it like you stole it?".

HID conversion: ~$550-525 installed, philips, made in germany, the good stuff....or you can pay $400-425 and DIY...

low $30k-31k...but, i would consider a GS4 pre-owned at that price..not something stolen before....like Dave suggested..

i wouldn't even touch a stolen car no matter what the price is. and just like what gs4will said, get a used gs4, much better value

i installed 6000k hid kit on my gs4 and it's 460 shipped. if you get normal 4100k hid conversion kit it should be around 400. install it youself. installation is easy and my DIY shoudl be up very soon. takes less than an hour and save you the installation

Thanks for the info and opinions Dave, Will and Rominl. Yeah, decided not to pursue the stolen off the lot car. Have turned my attention to another vehicle
