Default Trade in + Offer for 2007 GSh

Hi everyone,

I currently own a 2006 GS 300AWD, and I'm thinking about trading it in for a 2007 GSh. I have a few questions for my knowledge ppl on this forum that I've loved to read over the years:

1. How much should I get for my GS? My car has just over 50k miles on it. It has ML, Nav, backup camera, but no parking sensors. I'm the 2nd owner of the car and I've had it for 2 years. Clean title and everything. I recently went to Lexus to get a ballpark estimate and they said 18k. Accurate, or am I getting ripped off?

2. The car I'm looking at has just under 13k miles, and from the carfax looks maintained and clean title. I will probably go see the car on Friday. Here's a link to the car:
http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...5&aff=national

How much is a good offer for this car? It looks like it has ML and a backup camera as well. It's also the color combo I want.

3. People who made the switch from GS to GSh please chime in! People with GSh's chime in also! Are you happy with your decision go to hybrid (esp if you switched)? What do I need to look out for on a test drive? I'm not looking to mod or anything (minus tints or something on that level).

Thank you all for your help in advance

Well without sensors and guessing you don't have rear sunshade so I would say around $20,000-$22,000 so not sure what there looking at but KBB and N.A.D.A both say around that price and thats with 60,000 miles, so if it is in fair condition and has some scratches then its around $19,000-$20,000. Hope this helps.

One thing to look out for is to make sure they have checked the battery that way you wont have any problems down the road. Mostly look out for electrical things since the car is basically an electrical machine!

I'm very happy with my decison, in Boston you rarely see a GSh and I like that, I like to have something someone doesn't. its exclusive and the power ha what a change you will love it, and the decrease in cargo space doesn't really matter unless you really travel a lot or even pack stuff in your trunk.

I do have rear sunshade actually, and it's in pretty good condition. There are a few scratches here and there, but it looks pretty good. I'll look for around 20k, thanks!

How much should I offer for the GSh I linked?
