22,900 sounds like a great price. If it were me, I'd take the offer. But maybe others can chime in and help you with your decision

i would offer $20k

if this is the exact specs of wut u want (especially the color combo). then be prepared to pay more than kbb
low milage 430's have consistently sold better than kbb prices

Figure out whether you want / love the car

20k vs 22k over the life of a GS430 (300k miles) doesn't make much of a difference. I would go to 21k if pushed

Yea I agree. If its a car you really really want, and its in the right condition is worth whatever you're willing to pay for it. I know thats obvious and stupid, but if your keeping the car for many years to come then the purchase price really isn't that big of a deal. What's the difference between 1-2K over a 5-10 year period, not much.
