This would be my ultimate GS400. Black on Black Sport with under 50K miles! Somone go grab it!!
http://www.mercedesbenzgreenwich.com...-10156712.html
Thought about trading or selling mine quickly to go get it. I have a 1999 with 130K miles. Paid $6500 for it at 125K miles last year.
I spent a year restoring it to near mint. Changing all fluids, swapping out to new front and rear suspension parts, bushings, new brakes, tires, wheels. New driverside cat converter, other side was already done, alternator, 03 Gs430 mufflers, timing belt already done at 90K. transmission mount. motor mounts, Belt tensioner. Had hood and roof repainted, new oem windshiend (no cost).
I know the mileage I have is considered break in mileage. I am only putting 5K miles on it a year. I feel like I know my car and with all the stuff that I did it just wouldn't be worth starting over for the same car.
Here are Pics of the car before the link closes. Someone will jump on it!

Keep yours. You're better off having an older car with a few more miles. This means that parts have been replaced on a regular basis. On that lower mileage one, you're still going to have a bit of work to do, such as the 90k. Also, the paint looks pretty hazy to me.

^^ like Thomas said: I would rather have a slightly higher mileage car knowing that I put all the work into it as it needs. Then start over and to find out you have put yourself right back in the spot of doing it all over again.
Looks like the car was a dealership garage queen with that low mile.
