Hey guys I am new to the forum and looking to purchase a 2001 GS 430 with low miles. I ran across one at a dealership in Texas with 50k miles which they are asking $11,999. It's a 1 owner car. I checked the carfax and it looks like the car has been very well maintaned. I am planning on offering cash but I would like know how much should I offer them? Here are the links below:

I don't think they'll take any less than 11k, that's a sweet gs4! I bought my 2 owner gs4 with 120k for 9300 after TTL. But keep in mind that a low mileage gs4 still has the original timing belt, so in a few years(depending on how you drive) you'll have to do a timing belt kit which can cost 1k+. Maybe you can bring them down to 10.5k?

 

very clean. the seats looks fluffy. The price seem fair. But i would opt in for a navigation and touchscreen. to me it reads luxury. Nonetheless, good deal.

 

Low mileage or not, price is still too high imo. Fair market value for that car is around 9k with that mileage, maybe even closer to 8k. Private party would be less.

 

wow that thing looks virgin.

i wouldn't pay more than 9 for it though

 

haha my sentiments exactly.

start at 8 if you bringing cash like stated in OP

 

Welcome to the Forums and nice find... GL

 

Thanks for the warm welcome. I will start with a $8k cash offer and work my way up to no more than $9k max. I will also consider the timing belt replacement. maxx430, I was considering installing a kenwood 7inch nav unit. Let see how is goes. I'm looking forward to the purchase of this car. I really like the color combo.

 

I'd try and find one with a black interior, much better looking imo, as well as NAV

 

Lukas, thats the combo I wanted at first but the black leather lexus uses shows wrinkles that are very notieable. I am trying to avoid this. Also I read the the Nav is embed into the AC controls causes issues from time to time. I rather just puchase a newer NAV unit which has better radio functionality.

 

def too high...low miles can be a gift and a curse
