Hi CL members!

My Car is 2007 Lexus GS350 RWD Smokey Granite full options(DVD oem sound system, back up camera, navi, just everything.)

Mileage : 57,678

My car got into a 2 small accidents I had to replace front bumper and rear bumper that's it I have all the recepts. It looks clean and I kept my car really nice.

Problem: Only on a cold start-up that makes grinding noise due to sarvation of oil in the morning????

How Much should I sell it?? I really need advises. Thank you!!

 

And should I sell it along with after market parts as well? because I put my car back to stock but the suspension. I have intake, midpipe, and exhaust and wondering If I have to sell it on the ebay.

 

always part out and sell the car stock, selling aftermarket parts together with the car wont' get you any extra money

it's a wild guess, but i say maybe you are looking at low 20s

 

I agree with Henry.

 

Thank you guys!! Low 20s.. hm.. like 24 is that low 20s? ahaha

 

De Mod the car, that's the first thing.

How does the Carfax look? Also, was any paintwork done outside of the bumpers themselves? Bumper skins don't bother me, paintwork on the body and dirty carfaxes do.

If the carfax is clean and the car is nice, you could trade it for around $21-22k I would think, with the tax rate in Cali pushing 10%.. assuming California does give a tax credit on trade-ins, that might be the difference between wholesale and private party retail.

I just took in an LS460 on trade, IIRC the customer was considering a private sale for about $3,000 more than our trade-in offer, OTOH, the sales tax credit he got by trading the car in was $2800, so for $200 net to him, it made sense to trade it.

YMMV tho...

 

low 20's???? I am buying CPO Lexus sedans for now on. When you buy new you get screwed. My GS has about the same mileage on it but I am still happy with it. Did you know that there is a fix for that noise you are having??? did you buy the car new or used??

 

I bought it new...

 

IMO, 2-3 year old well maintained ones are absolutely the way to go. I bought my '06 in '09 and paid 55 cents on the dollar for what it cost new. 28k miles, some remaining factory warranty left. New cars are nice but not important enough to me to throw the extra $25k away every time I buy.

 

thats my formula too buy them used but still new especially the way the economy is now I bought my 06 300 with 50k for 24k here in ny

 

I figured that my 07 350AWD with 38k and Navi was a better buy than, say, a new Camry XLE 4cyl.....

 

I bought mine for 24500 in bay area last month with 39k on it plus it is fully loaded with everything you can get for a 07 gs 350

 

damn my oh my have the price fallen hard..

 

Holy shiet prices dropped hard i would say mid 20s to high 20s

 

Yes Im thinking selling 25k
