Nice car, amazing low miles for an 01 GS! I have to disagree with you on the styling compared to the 06 (imho)
, but never the less good luck with the sale.

, but never the less good luck with the sale. Trent, I didn't mean to come off sounding negative towards the new GS. I just happen to prefer the old styling right now, but maybe in time the new one will grow on me. It's certainly got a lot of cool features that I wish the previous generation had.

Well, unfortunately a death in the family has prevented me from posting here the last couple of days, but I just wanted to take a minute to bump this back up to the top as the car is still available. If anyone is interested, please send me a PM or an e-mail. Thanks.

I've thought about putting it on cars.com, but I was hoping true Lexus fanatics would see it here instead. So far, no luck.
If you took the "right" offer it would have been sold weeks ago...
TTT for you...

Sorry, but I don't think what you offered was the "right" offer and I don't appreciate your condescending tone. I'll just go ahead and keep the car before I give it away. If you're looking for a deal(or should I say steal) you're better off looking elsewhere. By the way, I have no idea what TTT means, but I'm sure it's not complimentary.

You are incorrect..
TTT means To the top....its the internet way of keeping someones post at the top for people to view.....
I wasn't being condescending either, just giving an honest opinion....

Also, where I got my info from was from manheim auctions.....
The lowest mileage was a 41k mile recently.......it sold for 18k. ....Thats how I prepared my offer so you know....I was insulted that you took it as a low ball offer.

No offense, but auction prices are not really a valid basis for pricing(especially when it comes to a unique example like this one in perfect condition with practically no miles). You should be looking at a combination of dealer retail and private party values to get a more accurate representation.

Manheim
$18k for 41k miles
I offered
$23-24k for 5k Miles
I am only making the point that it wasnt a "lowball" offer because there is no real price for your car because its all opinion because of the low miles.....You see it as a new 5 year old car and I see it as a low mileage 5 year old car with no warranty...I am just saying that you shouldn't get offended by any offer above 22k because there is no " set in stone value" for this type of car....You know?
