Default What is my '98 GS400 worth?

1998 GS400
163K miles
Navi
Moonroof
No Spoiler
HID's

The good..
Recent new starter, alternator, power steering pump, 2 rear bearings, 2 front struts, 2 front lower control arms, 1 rear knuckle, front and rear brakes, 2 new front tires. Last summer I had the rear diff and tranny fluid changed along with a coolant flush.

The bad...
Hood latch sticks, needs 2 rear tires.. Recently the car got keyed so theres a very fine but deep scratch on hood, trunk and both sides.

Car has NEVER been in a collision... has all factory body panels and glass.

I have owned this car 5 years and it has really been a joy to drive. Everything on the car works, all power options, AC, heated seats, mirrors. Non smoker car.

Pics can be viewed here with link below. I have the summer 19's and stock 16's with aggresive winter/ice tires.

kbb says $5500 for your car in good condition. Given the fact that it has a huge scratch on the hood from keying (personally, id get it repainted for the $300, itll make an easier sale) but contrary it also has great maintenance to back it up, i think kbb is close on price.

I personally think the market for the gs is sort of flat. Theyre selling, but its taking time. Ive been watching the classifieds daily, since my car is for sale, and it seems as though cars are staying up for a couple months.

My car is for sale as well (a '98 GS4 with 144k) and i havent been able to sell it since october. i attribute it to an unusual color (Antique Bronze Mica) but its still difficult to sell a car now a days.

To sum it all up, i think its worth $5000 all day (with just the stock wheels, sell the 19s separately). between $5000 and $6000 i think youre looking for a more specific buyer and will take more time to sell.

just my $.02

Let me know if you're interested in selling it. I'm in Naperville and I've been looking for a black GS.

PM me if you're interested ;-)
