Simply put, Would you buy a 99 GS400 with 212k miles? I figure current owners would be the ones to ask.
Here's the scenario. I have a client that offered me her 99 GS400 for a really good price (She's getting a new IS). It's mint, and fully serviced, but has 212k miles. I too drive alot of highway miles and I think the car should hold up for some time...but the wife is giving me 'that look'.
Hmmmm....what would you do?

Research a little bit and see if you can find a car that is as good if not better shape with less miles. Also check out KBB.com and see what the car is worth...

if all the paperwork is there as far as maintenance is concerned, pay the $8,500 before someone else does.

This is what i would do:
1) Call her right now and negotiate the price...tell her you'll take it off her hands right now for $8,000.
2) List it on Auto-Trader the day after for $13,500.
3) Plan what mods you'll be doing with the assumed $4-5K you'll probably make.
