Trade in My BMW 328 for a GS 300
I owned a 92 ES 300 before than sold it and bought a 99 328I from my friend's cousin a month ago. I like it, but I feel more comfortable and more reliable with Lexus.
Now, I want to trade my BMW for a 98 GS 300. The price for the 98 GS 300 is $24000 with 43K miles. Is it a good deal? But I don't how much the dealer will give me for my BMW. Is it a good deal? Any opinion about 98 GS 300? Any suggestion in this trade? Should I get an extended warranty if I get the 98 GS 300?
Thanks a lot guys

jas,
$24k for the gs300 is reasonable. but, as you said, how about your trade? check with www.kbb.com for trade-in values.
in general, 98gs300 is very reliable, but i would ty to get some warranty from www.warrantygold.com
also check for all serial # stickers on all body panels, adn verify www.carfax.com and service records.

Thanks for your advice, I will take my car to the dealer once I receive my title.
Is Lexus maint. cost a lot cheaper than BMW? I have just changed all 4 OEM brake pads for my BMW, it costs me $260.00. Also, any major problems with 98 GS 300?

just a gen guide line: lex parts are ~30% less than the german ones. plus, we have steve at carson toyota who can get lex parst for us at good discount...paying full retail can be hazradous to your health....

JAS,
3 weeks ago I bought a 98 GS300 with 32,000 miles. They were asking $31k for it and all I had to trade was a 94 Thunderbird with dents dings, a real POS. I wanted to get $1000 for the T-Bird. Well they wouldn't come down on the $31k for GS but they ended up giving me $5k on trade-in. So the GS ended up being about $27,000 with a 6yr/100k mile warranty. The GS was in absolute beautiful condition.

Hello there, I wouldnt get the 300 for 24k unless its in immaculate condition and the color you always wanted. I got my Pearl White 400! with 65k for 25k now you do the math. I would definitely get rid of the 328i bimmer and hopefully youll get around 20k for it or whatever and just shopt around for a nice preowned gs400, and do not be afraid of high mileage for this car, these cars are made to go LONG DISTANCE if you know what I mean.
