I am looking into buying a 1995 Lexus Gs300. black in color w/ 105,xxx miles for. Seller is asking $5500 but willing to sell for $4500. Paint is still in good condition. Is this a good deal? Should I buy it? I am looking to do a VIP look on this. What are the pros and cons of this car? Thanks in advance for your help

That is toward the high end of the price range for these cars, and although the low miles is attractive, it is really all about condition. Pics seem to show exterior to be in good shape (the side moulding strip is not OE, and the wheels are from a gen2 GS) the interior seems a little raggedy for the mileage (stain on the rear center 'hump', pack of Marlboros on floor) Was it smoked in? I think you may still have some room to try to negotiate lower. Service records? Timing belt should have been done, or will be due. Check the suspension, struts and strut tops, bushings and ball joints, all can be expensive for these cars.

Pros? Famed 2JZ powered 'Aristo' perfect for VIP and high perf, inherent Toyota goodness

Cons, slow in stock form, sometimes expensive to repair and maintain (to a degree, dependant on your abilities and fetish for OE parts.

Question really is, what is its value to you?? (I will admit to a willingness to pay a little more for a desired color combination etc.)

Good Luck!

That car is not in good shape at all. The rear fenders seem to be rolled and look pretty beat up. Besides that, the asking price for that condition is ridiculous.

Suprawhite good eye, I didn't even notice the fenders were rolled.
