Well this thread started in 01, so take a look now at an 07 GS and compare pricing. The GS, (well atleast the 300) from my experience, is one of the most reliable and easy maintenance cars ever put on the road, but then again this is my 3rd 2JZ powered car, and I have learned alot about these motors from my 700rwhp SC, what I'm saying is, if I can keep my beast mode 700whp 2JZ (stock internals) on the road, then a stock one should damn near never break. I have over 213k on my GS and have never had to put a wrench on it.... Just change the oil, and you're good to go on these things....

Hahaha, I didn't catch that. Who the heck brought this old topic back from the dead

how much do you think a GS w/ over 100K miles 98-2000 model be worth in 2 years 8/10 condition

jcat_350

well 2 years from now youre talking 10-12 years old, equivalent to a 96-98 model of other comparable cars. Add to that over 100k, and i doubt you could say 8/10 condition honestly after all that time and mileage, i'd expect to see them between 4-8k dependent upon a bunch of factors.


you see 1GS's with over 175-200k going around me for about 3 grand right now. 93, 94, 95 models most of them.

haha it was me !

AYEmike

ahah me either, cus 2GS are even cheaper NOW !

muhbuhtuh

lmao as i was reading the post i was like NO a 99 at 24k miles is not worth $27k!

and then i saw the date

i got mine for $9k last year

jcat_350

dude, absolutely not. They're around 8k with under 100k now, nevermind with 100k+ 2 years from now.

jcat_350

he originally asked what they would be worth 2 years from now. Even for a lexus, as old as our cars are, 2 years is killer in terms of depreciation.

Also, craigslist isn't an accurate source because people just slap a price on their car without even considering it.

i mean if you want a reasonable comparison, look at 95-97 model 1Gens on craigslist or anywhere, they all have well over 100k, at the same age the person asked for, and you can scoop them for around 5 grand even with mods.

example:

^^ 99 with 120k, only 6500

http://providence.craigslist.org/cto/961739360.html
^^ even though its a 94, lots of work (ugly i might add) and only 4 grand.

it doesn't really matter the car, you get much past 10 years old with over 100k and the value crashes.

jcat_350

yeah that's about a half hour from where I live. it's a bit gaudy haha with the huge rims and neons and such without a drop. But either way, i mean 102k on a 94 is less than 10k a year. And even with all that its only 4000. See what i mean about the value crashing?

Interesting topic.
Here's one that I was looking at today morning (as I'm in the market for a car)
http://halifax.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...QAdIdZ98963917

I'm a student and cant afford expensive repairs or anything. Its just that this car seemed better than the 2003 81k Civic that I saw LOL

By the way, Fanstastic forum guys! Keep it up!

if you look on kbb, the IS300 and GS300 are at the same price

GS300Rich

all reasons I am going to keep my GS no matter what. Why trade this car in on another car when you would only get $3k for it
