I have a set of 4 Lexus 16" GS300 Wheels with excellant tires mounted on them. I would like to sell them. anyone know where? I thought of Ebay but shipping them would be pretty difficult.

Try ebay but mention "local pickup only" -if you live in a big city should go, if you're out in the boonies may be a problem. Good luck.

GS wheels/tires by indiana97

I have used Ebay to sell as well as buy wheels and wheels/tires. I shipped 4 BMW 18" wheels/tires about a yr. ago. Took them to FdEx Freight location and it costs $75 to ship set from IL to WA (I did already have the boxes). Just tell the buyer in the Ebay auction they must pay cost of shipping. If you check Ebay most sellers charge about $125 to ship a set. Currently there are 17" 2006 GS300 OEM wheels and tires with "Buy Now" at $999 + $125 shipping on Ebay. That might give you an idea what set of GS tires/wheels are selling for on Ebay..

Anyone get annoyed at the magazines, internet.... by airlinephoto

You read up on luxury cars all they talk about is the M35, M45, BMW 5 series and all that comes up is how fast they are and how agile bla bla bla. How come people dont talk about how the 06 GS oozes with luxury? how when compared luxury to luxury with the M, the Lexus is light years ahead (in my opinion) and how when you give the GS gas its like a finely tuned work of art while when you give the M gas you remember your first pickup truck that you got when you were 17. My across the street neighbor has a new 530i, the space between where the trunk closes and the bumper is almost like the dodge durango- HUGE and other spaces where body parts meet are not tight unlike my GS. Sorry to rant on and on but i'm just tired of more people on these luxury car boards (here included on one of the other luxury categories) not giving the GS the credit it deserves- let alone the 30MPG while still decent 245HP which is just fine for most of us.

airlinephoto: Very sensible post. The qualities of the GS are the ones most likely to be unappreciated--or even occasionally ridiculed-- by the car mags.

Thanks bartalk. I didn't even mention the fact that the exterior of the GS is just screaming sexy- front back side, doesnt matter, this car has the looks to kill.

GS430 in Florida by hpowders

E-mailed 2 dealers in Florida yesterday for a lease quote on the GS430. Got a form letter from one and nothing from the other. Doesn't look like thet are having any trouble moving the GS430.
I bet if I requested a quote on the LS 430, they would have sent limos to pick me up.

Then you hear people here getting 4500 off MSRP on a 300 no problem. Go figure.

It's probably a simple supply-demand situation. There are many fewer 430s available, thus dealers can sell them for sticker. Someone posted here a few weeks ago a comment from a dealer predicting that 430s would sell for sticker for a year. May be true, depending on demand.

I got 2K off MSRP in Charlotte NC 3 weeks ago where there is only 1 Lexus dealer in town. I took one in stock but would have been the same price if I had ordered just would have to wait (couldnt wait when I saw the black one on the lot). I thought that was pretty good considering it's not like soflo or NY where there are 10 Lex dealers within a 50 mile radius!
