Default 2000 GS400 RMiller Cycle Supercharged engine

I currently own a 2000 GS400 supercharged turbo Platinum Series that just rolled over 100K miles.

How rare is this Lexus, and what’s it really worth in great condition?

Your post is confusing.

Is the car supercharged or turbocharged? Neither were dealer offerings in the US.

I can pretty much guarantee it does not have a "miller cycle engine," as the only one ever mass produced was a transverse V6 by Mazda, and it would make zero sense to transplant this engine into a GS platform.

As for "Platinum Edition," that was just a trim level. Different wood trim, seats, floor mats, etc. Not that rare.

As for value, its worth what the books (Kelley, Nada, Edmunds, etc.) say its worth. Minus any possible performance modifications, which really are only of interest to enthusiasts.

He’s talking about a Rod Millen vortec supercharger kit, not a miller cycle motor

lots of confusion in that first post, post some pictures
