I'm not sure if I got a fair price, personally I am happy and content with it considering its use and condition but I'm curious what would you guys pay for a car of this nature. I can honestly say it is in perfect mechanical condition, interior is indeed flawless without a single chip scratch or anything. Exterior has a few scratches on the bumper and side but nothing horrifying. a 2001 GS300 12k miles, L-Tuned package No navigation, 6 disc CD changer (which is probably std)
Honestly who cares what you payed as long as your content with your purchase. But in my opinion I'd say you payed at least 15,000 for it. But with that low of miles definately more. I payed 6,000 for my 98 with 70k on it. No damage and one owner with yes of course a 6 disc.

14k is clean retail according to nada.....which most banks use to offer loans for cars.

Would I pay 14k? Nah, I would offer 12k and hope they accept it......

DANG 11K MILES?! Thats crazy. I thought my dad had a good hidden treasure, and he had found a 2000 mercedes s430 with only 16k miles. Im so jelly, I wish there were more old people retiring here in louisiana. I want a gs so bad.

It had to be retired folks living up north and traveling south to live in warmer states during winter times. Not rare in places like Fl. I'm sure. Anyhow, nice buy!

Great find! As long as your happy, you don't need to justify how much you spent.

If it were mine, I'd likely leave it stock....... I think.
