probably around 10k to 11k since the economy is not that great right now. plus it does have a lot of miles on the car already. i know it sux, cuz i paid 23k for my 01 gs3 back in 2006 from the dealer and it was supposedly a good deal.

well... i recently bought a gs300 for my wife, and in my search throughout CA, all of them were going for about 1000 to 1500 above blue book value. So, if I were you, I'd list it at above blue book, 1500, and get someone to bargain with you. You would still be able to sell it for above "excellent" condition that way.

there's my two cents, hope it helps.

it's worth that much? weird. Last time I checked, my 2000 GS400 with 45,000 on it is worth like 11k in good shape. I know yours is 2 years newer, but it's got 100k more than mine and has 2 less cylinders. I hate kbb.

lol. I take that back. I just checked again. It's worth 9,900.00 in good condition. Die KBB!

I went to carmax 2 times within the last 3 months with 2 different cars. Price they gave was the least KBB value for a trade in. Private party sale I think you'd get $9999

so does mine. platinum edition and everything except nav, and Mark L sound. But I doubt they add too much.

I bet it's the zip codes. Give me yours. I want to see if my car goes up or down according to KBB.

Not that great, but still sucks. My car has taken a huge hit in the past 2 years. I suppose. It's 10 years old now.

I'd put it on Craigslist to test it. Just make sure you price it at least 2k higher than what you want as every cheap *** is going to come out of the woodwork to talk you down.
