Default FS: Black on Black GS400

WTT for a Silver on Black GS400!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me know what you have. I just want something different, Love the car but i am ready to start another build.


The time has come were i have to seriously start thinking about selling my car. For the past 7 months i have spent thousands of dollars making this car the way i wanted it. And now its up for sale. Anybody that knows me on here knows that i ALWAYS research before i do something and always do things right. I want to test the waters and see if anyone's serious about buying a pretty rare and extremely nice GS at the price i am asking.

I am the Second owner and bought the car completely stock from an older gentleman at 87k. All the mods have been done correctly by me.

Details:
1999 GS400
95,400 Miles
Black onyx(202)
Black Leather (Pretty rare color Combo)
Oem Navigation
Seat heaters
Sunroof
Rear spoiler
Auto leveling HID's
Oil changed every 2,500 miles
Alignment Last month
Balljoints replaced at (93k)
Outer tie rods replaced at (93k)
Bridgestone Potenza RE0760 sport. 85% tread left.

May or May NOT Consider parting out. Just depends on if i get reasonable offers on the parts or the car. (For you voulchers out there)


Modifications:
20% tint all around
Painted front Grill
Authentic REAL Very Rare TTE Front Lip
Clearcorners
K&N FIPK Cold Air Intake
Custom Magnaflow exhaust(No resonators)
Apexi Neo Tuned, With Custome PnP Boomslang harness
BCracing Coilovers 30 way adjustable dampening. (12k, 10k Spring rates)
TCSportline Rear Strut tower bar
3.92 SC400 Rear diff


AC Is not working. Prob needs compressor to be replaced.

Everything has been professionally installed and gives the car the PERFECT balance between class and sport. This car set to full stiff feels and sounds like a corvette around turns. Then on a softer setting is like a 7 series on the freeway and around town.

I will post pics up later today after i wash and clean the car. Thanks for looking.

Asking price is $12,500 obo

No offense but your price is kind of high. I know this car was for sale at 8000 on craigs. Not to hate on your sale but you haven't been a part of CL for more than a year, and you're acting like you have a reputation on here. What's more is I don't think you do things right because judging by your posts you are an impulsive buyer and go against what people advise on here. Your most recent purchase would be your cracked headers which I don't know if you installed yet.

20% tint all around - $150?
Painted front Grill - Less than $20
Authentic REAL Very Rare TTE Front Lip - $300
Clearcorners - $ 20 on ebay
K&N FIPK Cold Air Intake - $300
Custom Magnaflow exhaust(No resonators) - $300
Apexi Neo Tuned, With Custome PnP Boomslang harness $400
BCracing Coilovers 30 way adjustable dampening. (12k, 10k Spring rates) $800
TCSportline Rear Strut tower bar $100?
3.92 SC400 Rear diff $100?

So total that'd be 2490 in mods. So you spent around 10500 on your car plus labor and balljoints and tie roes which would be 10000. And the AC doesn't work. Have you done the timing belt? On top of that all your parts are used now. If not bought new.

Damn man. How much Haterade have you drinken today?

I know the price is high that's why it is Obo. I am most likely not going to get that number but i might as well shoot for the stars and see what happens. IMO this car is well worth that amount and many others on here prob agree. Can you do me a favor and find a 99 GS400 black on black with Navigation for sale stock and show me what the asking price is?

Too back up my Price. I have the receipts for everything i did, and i know the car depreciates in value, but these cars are somewhat rare to find especially one that is black on black with navi and properly maintained.

Send me an offer but i am really not going to sell for a price that i seem isnt fair.

Thanks for the input though Im glad you agree with my price

I just don't like it when people come on these forums get a Lexus ask a bunch of questions in threads that have all been answered before, and then when they leave they try to get a profit out of it. You can't calculate in labor when selling in your car. I am a hater I admit it. Sorry for bashing your thread. GLWS. I'm just alerting people to his activity. Not long ago this guy said he was getting a supercharger. Also, he's been on here for about 8 or 9 months. I wouldn't claim to have a reputation off of that small of a time span.


All in all maybe I'm jealous of you. Let's just keep it at that. I think the way you spent your money was reckless, and I didn't personally approve of it, my bad.

I think my car looks pretty good right now even if it was reckless spending. Well worth it! Thanks guys for giving me the mod bug.

Hey GLWS.. I remeber when you first got the GS.. You put a lot of time and some great mods on the GS.. Always start high with room to negotiate.. Again GL..

GS is looking great
