Hello, I am looking at a 95 GS 300, it has 169,000 miles, automatic. Exterior is nice no dings paint is good, interior is ok nothing major. My mechanic took a quick look and it needs a radiator and the tranny fluid smells burnt and is brown. He said to walk away but the price is $3000. My question is would this still be a decent buy? It does not shift hard but I have never owned a Lexus so I have no comparison. I wanted to know from people who drive this car daily. I am not above fixing a tranny when it needs it but like I said it doesn't jerk when put in gear or clunk when it does shift. The car is sluggish over all but I am sure it could use a tuneup. Any info is greatly appreciated!

if im correct the 95's have the 5 speed tranny that people have had alot of issues with. And if your mechanic is already warning you about the car (tranny hint hint) . I would stay away unless i can get a better price to cover the tranny issue later. what part of fl u in im in North Lauderdale

96 is the 5 speed trans. If you are going to swap it anyway later, low ball offer it.
