Hi there,
I have found 2 perfect Lexus Gs 400's for sale. They both have navigation systems and are done up.
The first one has 112,000 miles on it 2000 LEXUS GS400, 112K mi, air bag, abs, ac, ps, cc, tilt, lthr, p/seats, p/windows, tint, pdl, p/mirrors, sunroof, blk/blk, NAVIGATION, HEATED SEATS, ALL OPTIONS!, 19" Mahdi Ceasar wheels, Tein HA suspension, cross drilled slotted rotors, jdm window visors, 01 rear lights, yes the car is lowered with Tein HA 16 way adjustable shocks valued at$1500.00, rims and tires valued at 3500.00, the price for the car is$17,900. Now I don't need side skirts because it is lowered I will just need to put the TTE front lip and be done, but I am wondering if the miles are too high?

The second one is 2000 LEXUS GS400, 70K mi, fully loaded, navigation, garaged, service records, 18" sport rims, tires less than 5K, Ltuned new suspension kit included, $19,000.

I will have to buy new rims, side skirts and front lip, plus new tail lights, but it does have lower miles.
I definitely need some help on this. Thanks
Adam.

Here is the pictures of both cars.

Do any of them have the 90k service done?

merchant26

both have been meticulously taken care of!

Assuming the service history is the same on both cars, I would go for the lower mile car. The prices seem relatively close, and inasmuch as you're going to be modding the car to your liking anyway, I'd go for the second option. Just my opinion.

Go with the one with NAv, but talk them down if you can. If not still go for it

merchant26

Hey Lexbox,
they both have nav in them so do you recommend the first one?

e-man

Good advice. They both have nav. So you think he should buy both?

The 2000 Nadas like this.

Average Trade-In Average Retail
Base Price
$16,125 $19,025
Mileage
112,000 miles -$1,575 -$1,575
Options
Navigation System $450 $500
Power Sunroof $475 $550
TOTAL PRICE $15,475 $18,500*

Lexbox where do you live that Lexus's consistantly come in under trade in value?

yeah both have nav, get both!

jkjk... i would actually have to ask you... do you plan to mod the car yourself later on? if so, go with the one with less mileage and less mods.... so when you do mod YOUR OWN CAR... you can say that it was YOU that decided to put those mod's on... not some other guy. This way, its truly yours. your creation.

its gotta reflect you. you gotta build it... then you'll love it like its your own child. that's what i think.

Yes you guys are correct. I can make personally make it mine, it's always better to go for one with less miles and less hassle. Also the first person won't even haggle with the price. I love this group and I appreciate all the help!
thanks guys

42,000 less miles for only $1100 more? Not much to think about really, you might get as much as 3 to 4 more years out of the lower mileage car when all is said and done. And sure all those mods sound nice, but were they done properly, installed by someone who knew what they were doing? Who knows, why potentially buy someone elses mod nightmare? Get it done yourself, to your liking, and you'll have no regrets.

Isnt that 1st one you talked about a member named JR or something like that? His car is nice but I would go with the less mileage one unless you can talk him down some more $.

Well, that first person's autotrader ad is down to $16,900 now.

That might be a pretty tempting deal.
