Default How Much Should I Pay For a 2001 GS430

I am prparing to get a GS430 and trying to get a feel of my budget. How much should a 2001 or 2002 GS430 will run? I am looking for a mid condition GS430. Is there any specific color that will cost more?

Dealer auctions usually bring more money for Black on tan or white on tan + even more for navigation.

Black on black if it is available is the hardest to find. My friend is trying hard to find one like that.

Blk/blk alone was about a $1K premium at the auctions when i got my car in August. Add Navi & ML to the mix and then you're gonna be paying even more.

He can have mine, or buy a black on tan and I'll trade with him. I HATE dark interiors and ended up with a black on black GS



This was my old interior in my LS still miss that car

Well....I just bought my Black/black 2002 GS430 in November and I paid $29.5K. Has ML and Nav and 41K on the odom. The Phoenix market is not only dry weather wise....but dry for the GS430 market. When I was looking in Nov...there were 7 in town and 6 of them were from dealers (overpriced) and then it was a match made in heaven when I saw it online

I bought my 01 Gs430, 54K Silver/Black, fully loaded except Nav for 24K back in November . A dealer called me the next day and has/had a 02 Silver/Gray Nav, 51K and wanted 23K. This is in the Washington, DC Metro Area. I know of a 02 Silver/Black with 48K for 26K. I looked at the car and it is really nice.

I'm a bigger fan of the tan leather too. When I was looking for a GS, I wouldn't even look at ones with black leather.

I paid $29K for mine, which had 44K on it last summer.

Private party is probably worth about $24K.

I have black on Black/ML/NAV etc..

For the 1:18 scale expect to pay $49.99, and for the real deal about 22k.

Couldn't agree more. I was excited at the prospect of having a light color interior. I am sick of black .
