Default On the brink of joining the family!

So I am on the verge of becoming a proud owner of a Lexus GS300. Looking at a 2002 GS3 w/ 75K miles. Asking price is 17K. So I have a few questions:

- How's the price?

- Is that too many miles for a 2002?

- What kind of major service jobs should have been performed by now?

- Any quirks in 2002 model I should look for?

Thanks in Advance!!

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/search.php Would be a good start. Everything you are looking for should be there.

Yes, the mileage is a little high but it could be worse. Check out www.edmunds.com or www.kbb.com for price. The 30k and 6k I believe should be done. Quirks - I don't know. Good luck and enjoy the new ride,

I paid 28k for my car with about half the miles... so that price seems fair

Are you getting a Sport Design model like JMgs300? I can't believe '02 models are already below the $20k mark.

The car is not a sport design model. Just a regular GS3
