Question GS300 for $5000?

Hey,
I'm 17 years old and really want a GS300. Is it possible to find an older one for about $5000? My dad has a SC300 and I love the engine but want a 4 door. I dont want one with more than 150K miles on it.
Thanks

Yeah, u may find a '93 with more miles than150,000 from a very small dealer for that price....To be honest with u I wouldn't even be looking for a GS if ur shopping with 5 grand, u should look at an accord, or Maxima because for that price they may be in a better condition....

Yeah, you won't find a 1st gen GS that has under 150k miles on it for 5 G's unless maybe there's something seriously wrong with it. Might wanna give repo/police auctions a try.

Default Nope.

I'm just backing up everything that has been said already.
You can not get a GS in good condition for $5K, bro.
Save up or borrow or wait and then get one. Even if
you do find one for $5K, don't buy it. Just like Bluelex
pointed out, "these cars rn't very cheap 2 fix .."
Good luck.

You got a job bro? Put 5K down and finance the other 5K to get a decent first gen GS.
