mike,

it may be a bit difficult to get a gs400 with low miles (40-60k). the price would be anywhere between 14000-19000k for a super clean gs400. maybe next year when the gs gets older by one year, the price may lower itself??

just be patient and the right one will come along.

good luck

I've seen no-one knock their GS here, even those that have some issues with them. I've seen many people, like yourself, seriously want to aquire one. The GS 4xx is an enviable machine, get one.

Wow, Henry is that your car? Very nice indeed. You guys are making this alot easier than I thought. I'm going to start looking for one over the next few weeks and start fixing my car to get it ready for sale mode. Would it be a good idea to sell it with the SC430 wheels or leave the stocks I have on now and sell the SC430s seperately? I guess what I'm trying to ask is, have you guys had a better experience selling your cars with aftermarket stuff on it vs with the stocks?

with all due respect (to the ES guys) why not post over there and ask them what they think...

unless you already have, then please ignore my comment.













































-get a GS you'll love it

haha yeah that's my car blue and on dark graphite wheels, but mesh type

i would put the car back to total stock and sell the sc430 wheels separately, though i don't think it's going to be easy to sell the sc430 wheels as well @_@

good luck man, we are waiting for you here or you can buy my car so i can get something else

Mike,

The Alpine silver GS with the Maya wheels is on L Tune suspension - it's alsilverbullet's car. Local south florida brethren - pic is from a photo-shoot with bluelex, alsilverbullet and myself this last summer.
