i do plan on some mod's and i could go over $20k. i would just like to stay around there, but i've been looking at gs 400 up to $28-29k. don't really want to go that high. where is a good place to look for these. i've tried traderonline, ebay, yahoo, edmunds. anywhere else? also is there a big difference with the maintence between the 300/400? thanks for all your help! =)

No different.
they are the same car (one V6 one V8), HP/TQ is something you must have? if so, then you definitely want a GS400, unless you gonna spend another $5-6K to turbo charge a GS300 (but that is an option)

I have been cruising the autotrader myself just getting a feel for pricing on these models. Keep one thing in mind, 20k for a 99+ is a REALLY low price (dealer wants 32-35k Certified), so buyer beware. I really want to stay around the 40-55k mark for my next car (fact powertrain warranty still in effect). You should try to do the same to avoid potential maintence $$$. Just my .02

your right, for $20k the mileage is kinda high. i'm looking into something a little more now. i found something on ebay. i wonder if this belongs to someone here.
