Default Is this a good price for a 98 GS400?

I found a 98 GS400 with 66k miles. One owner car fully documented. Mint. I can have it for $15,000.

Edmunds.com tells me it isn't worth that much but historically I know edmunds is always off. Thoughts?

If it's fully loaded w/heated seats/ HID/ NAK and mint paint/interior then not too bad.

Fully documented service from a Lexus Dealership? Has the 60K service been done?

I paid 18,200 without hid/nac with 44K last October. Which I believe was to much, but it was as perfect as you can get in every way, including knowing the the history of the car and knowing the owner helped. (My dad)

Thanks for the input. It has NAK, heated seats and HID lamps. Yes, fully documented from a Lexus dealer and 60k service is done. It does not have a spoiler or 17" wheels.

Sounds like a good deal I take it!!

buy it before the seller realizes how low they're asking.

i've seen GS300s with the same mileage go for that same amount.

I just got a 99 with 84K miles for the same price, but it was really clean and had a few aftermarket upgrades. I think that's a pretty decent deal.
