Default lookin for a gs300/400/430

hey guys, i got 15k to spend but i wanna spend 13k if i can. I'm lookin for a gs 300, but i want to have the same amenities as the 400 or 430 if possible. also if there is a specific year that's good to look at. i really appreciate your feedback on this. thanks.

if I had a 15k budget, I'd be looking for a decent mile GS400.

You can get a very good GS4 with $15K

really? would it still be a good buy even if it has 100k+ miles? i mean, i dont really know much about gs cars so if you could suggest a model/year that'd be awesome. also i'd like a wood grain steering wheel & black interior. (i just like it). if you guys have any news of this it'd be a great help for my search. thanks.

For that price range I would say you are gonna get a 400 with kinda high miles...I just picked up a Platinum GS300 with 64k for 16000. I could of found something cheaper, but it was mint and with low mileage. I suggest taking your time.

It was a 2000 Platinum Series GS300 with 64k for $16000. The woodgrain wheel came on the later GS Sport Designs and optional on the others. I believe the years was 02 + if I'm not mistaken.

you can get a nice Gs for that money. Miles aren't really an issue if it was maintained

i know that this is off topic but does anyone know if the newer wood grain steering wheel will fit on a 98 gs300?

yes but you'd need to get an airbag too.
