About to purchase a GS, Mileage differences.
Hey guys. So I finally saved up (and old) enough to purchase my own 3rd gen (used) GS. I'm feeling pretty excited. Anyway, I did some research around the local used car stores through the web and managed to find two 2006 GS's for exactly the same price.
1) White, 155k mileage.
2) Beige, 77k mileage.
The issue here is, I really love the white aesthetically, but seems like the beige/tan is the smarter purchase. However, they're both priced exactly the same. Is there something fishy going on here? What do you think could be behind this? Is it really just the white that makes it that much more expensive?
What do you guys think? Also, advice/tips for a first-timer in buying used vehicles?

Do you have any links to the cars? Are you certain the White isn't a GS430? To me that would could the only reason the prices are the same. Check the car fax. Beige may have been in an accident.

You have to go see them in person to make that determination to see what condition they are in. The beige one could be in terrible condition. If buying from the dealer ask to see the car fax.

We need links (hopefully w/ lots of pics) if you have them...
What is the price if you don't mind sharing? The white one may be overpriced and not that the beige one
is 'so cheap.' ??
I'm with Simmsled....need more info.
Good luck!

Both 2006 GS's are priced at 41,800 SGD, that's around 31,000 USD..that's the market price for a used 2006 GS here.
White 155k mileage GS = 1 owner
Beige 70k mileage GS = 2 owners
from what I've gathered so far.
Found two more GS's for sale earlier today;
1) Silver, 2007, with just below 60,000 mileage for about 48,000 SGD (about 38,000 USD).
2) Dark Gray, 2006, 97k mileage for 44,888 SGD (about 35,500 USD)
I'll be taking pics of all four GS's this Sunday and hopefully be able to test drive them if there's enough time.

It is interesting the differences in the markets. Here in Germany the two advertised GS available are the 250 and the 450h. There is not a 300/350/460... I know the 300/350 have a very low emission rating.

The 430 and 450h both have low emission ratings too... I'm unsure of the 460, i'm pretty darn sure they're strict on emissions on that vehicle also
+1 on this!! As lovely of a choice you've got..... the history and maintanence records of the car are of utmost importance.
