Default 98 GS400 purchase question

I'm looking to buy a GS for the first time. A local dealer has a GS400 w/nav & HID for $15.9k. I know the price is good, but it has 100k on the odometer. Pretty sharp looking with 17" alloy wheels & the rear wing. Cosmetically it looks pretty good, some nicks in the paint and a couple scratches, nothing that stands out. What do you guys think of the price/mileage?

Thanks in advance!

I purchased my 98 Silver on black GS400 with the same options and 106,500 for $14,900. I think I got the best deal ever. It took me 6 months plus a trip to Lexington KY to find it. I love this car! My car is probably in a similar condition and but has an additional small blemish on the driver’s side door trim piece. The price/mileage sounds like a good deal to me.

Default Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Ryan. The mileage scares me a little. I'm looking at another one with similar options and only 6k miles for $17.9k. It might be worth it for less miles.. I also saw mikeyboy's 98 on the classified section and I'll tell you, wow! Almost too much bling for a guy my age! My daughter drooled over it and wants me to buy it...

I don't mind high mileage cars if they haven't been beaten to death. I bought my Denali with 83k on it and it's a 99. One year later I'm at 110k and it runs awesome.
