its a pretty good price considering the color combo, options, and it has had every service done. im sure carmax will give around 25/26k

Or maybe you sold yours for too little?

I'm sure there are regional differences for sure, but I spent weeks looking for a 3rd gen GS and they weren't out there, let alone for the kind of money/optioned up like the OP's car. That's my $.02, living in CA and looking at anything w/i a thousand miles via every search engine, going to dealers (including Carmax), etc....

We did wonder about if we should wait until the 4th gens came out if more inventory would show up. Oh well, we would have jumped on the OP's 350 at that price and are happy with our 430 for now -- so that was just the market here at the end of the year in our neck of the woods...

Hi All.
First of all. Thanks to all CL members for sharing the info(s) regarding the lower ball joint separation. It scared the living daylight out of me when I saw those pictures and read all those posts. I told the mechanic to replace it today and I meant immediately. LOL. So here is my question. Does the 3rd generation GS 3** have any kind of lower/upper ball joint issues, beside the dashboard rattling? I really like the 2nd Gen. and am I thinking about the 3rd Gen. probably next year, for me to drive of course While she is getting hooked on the 2nd Gen.
Thanks all.

dealership had the exact same car, same miles and all. wanted 37k OTD. even with a longer extended warranty purchase, I would still be at around 31 otd. By the way the car has EVERY service done and documented.
