Default Need some recommendation on pricing of 3GS

Hey guys, newbie from former g35 owner and i have a some questions. I been looking for 06 gs300 and it seems that the prices range from 15 - 26k. Found couple gs300 and wanted to see if they are good deal, any recommendations are welcome...

1. 06 gs 300, silver + black leather, 44k miles, with full options ( navi + ML system). Private seller, wants $25k for the car.

2. 06 gs 300, black + tan, 56k miles, navi. Private seller, wants $20k.

I checked kbb.com, edmunds.com, and nada.com: the value of gs are sporadic..

ps. I was told that since the 4gs is coming out, the previous gs will depreciate much more thus, I was told to wait: is this valid?

Personally althought those are some somewhat good deals your better off looking at a GS 350 07' as you get more HP newer nav and not to mention you will pay around the same price. I think thats a better option than looking at the GS 300, I had that and really felt it was underpowered.
The newer GS will drive the prices down for the old GS but I'm pretty sure that the demand will be higher and it will maintain a higher price, it will depend on how many rush to trade in there GS for the 4GS.

Huh? There's a couple of things that Toyota brought them back in for: valve springs and I think a cam gear issue... But what else were you hearing? They are little rocketships and the motors are waaay stout in my opinion...

kbb vs. edmunds. vs. nada.. I found a 06 gs300 (40k miles) for $22500. I checked kbb. vs. edmunds vs. nada and it seems that price range is different. So i have following questions:

1. 06 gs300 for @22500, is this a good deal?

2. kbb. vs. edmunds, vs. nada: which one do i trust..

thanks.

I think its a little high. 06 models should be around $19,000. For $22500 you can find an 07 with 50k miles + NAVI+ML..ect

Edit:

like this one for instance, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NAVIG...item4ab3562fa5
