no way, sounds too high. my 98 gs400 with 60k miles in top condition and it's kbb for about 18-20k only. with 14xxxx miles it's gonna be quite a bit less

the audio setup, dunno, it's not going to worth much together with the car, that's how i see it

12-14k. No offense, but honestly, to many, your stereo setup is a negative.

You're better off selling the stereo seperately. Most Lexus buyers don't look into purchasing a car that has been modified like that (excluding most of us atleast ) But I purchased a 98 GS400 clean title with 80k miles on it for 19000 and that was back in 2002. And it had a greddy exhaust and 19" volk racing rims on it. So my advice would be sell the car for $13000-15000 and sell the system for another $1-2k.

Ya i wish i could take out the steroe but it is all built into the car and would look HORRIBLE if if took it out. I am thinking however that i might just replace all the high end stuff i have with cheap stuff. I really thought my car was worht more....
