Buying gs430 which deal is better?
Alright guys....I'm looking at 3 different GS430s with the following info:
2004 WHITE on TAN LEATHER - GS430 28K on odom, NAV, MLS, ETC. 2nd owner purchased as CPO last year.
2002 SILVER on GREY LEATHER - GS430 37K on odom, NAV, MLS, ETC. - 1 owner.
2002 BLACK CHERRY on BLACK LEATHER - GS430 37K on odom, NAV, MLS, Lexus WARRANTY.
Both 2002 are the same price and is offered locally - private sale.
The 2004 is about 200 miles away and is $2,500 more then the 2002, also private seller.
Which one is the better deal?

Since i don't like the look of dirty cars I stay away from Dark or White ones. Silver looks nice and stays cleaner looking longer. Plus my car is Silver on Gray so I picked that one. 
Really though - Pick YOUR favorite Exterior Interior color combo from the three and go from there.

I don't know what cherry black looks like but the black on black is the best combo imo. It's true that they get dirty faster, but if you keep up with it, when they are clean they are beautiful especially at night. The warranty is a plus also. Thats my two cents...i think.
most definatley, i'd go with the cherry black on black.

Since the miles are all basically the same, it comes down to over all condition of the car. If they are all the same condition, than I'd take the 02 Black Cherry with the warranty if you like that color. 2nd Choice would be the 04. 3rd choice would be the 02 Silver.

Get the Black Cherry. That white on tan 04 has been for sale forever.....the one in Harlem/Morningside. It just seems sketchy to me.
Buy based on condition & maintenance. I considered that White GS430 before buying my Sportdesign....although I never looked at the Gs430 because I wanted the rarer car & color.
Just out of curiosity, what did the seller of the white Gs430 go down to pricewise?

This is an interesting poll result so far. I thought the white and the silver would get better turn out then the black cherry.
The White is currently priced at $20,500 and the other 2 are at $18K.
All of them have NAV, MLS. I know that the White and Silver both have the wood steering wheel. No pictures on the black cherry so I'm not sure what the condition is but the guy says its perfect.
The warranty is a big factor but the Silver is currently owned by the original owner who's a 70 yr old lady that hasn't driven it for a while, its been sitting in a garage.
I spoke to the owner of the '04 and he too has it sitting in a garage. He has another vehicle that he drives all the time. He bought it CPO last year and was in the middle of a divorce before they reconciled so now he has to sell.
I don't have much history on the Black Cherry but the guy who currently owns it sounds he's in late 20s or early 30s.
