Replying to: tifighter (Nov 09, 2009 10:42 am) So you despise your MS3?   Yes; I thought that the MS3 would be an entertaining change from my usual Bavarian RWD iron. Wrong. Annoying and boring are the best adjectives I can use to describe the MS3 driving experience...

2002 GS430 70k Silver/Black It has some factory L-Tuned suspension and exhaust pieces. Fairly clean except for a minor accident where the rear bumper was replaced. He is asking $15,500. It does have the Mark Levinson, the NAV, and heated seats.

Replying to: anonymousposts (Nov 10, 2009 5:23 am) Sounds nice. The 430 should have more pep than the 300 or 400. Much cheaper than a new Hyundai Genesis!

Replying to: anonymousposts (Nov 10, 2009 5:23 am) I don't know what the price should be, but the low-ish miles, the Mark Levinson, the NAV, etc. would sure have me interested. I've read the Mark Levinson stereo is amazing; & I loved the Nakamichi systems on older lexus cars.
#15047 of 15300 my next vehicle by jayrider Nov 10, 2009 (12:16 pm)
Driving a murano sl awd -- lease will be up in less than 2 years. Already researching what I will lease next. [pathetic, I know] List is now : 2011 sienna and 2011 quest --- Subaru outback and tribeca --- 2011 explorer.Will add a few more I'm sure.  Awd is nice but I have a jeep liberty for really bad weather. First thing to compare from my standpoint is the leather seating. Nothing makes the final 2-3 if gluteus ain't happy. That includes thigh support. Then test drives/interior space and best lease deal. May put the odyssey in there too. Both my wife and I are retired. Like lots of room for golf clubs and ALL the luggage we take on trips. Two grandkids as well. Gotta be sitting up higher than a sedan for looking ahead. Mpg not huge factor -- don't drive that much and most of these can get 20-25 highway. My murano can give 28-29 at 60mph. Decided I'm going the lease route for the next decade or so. Like a new ride every 3 years so leasing makes better sense than buying. When I get too old to care -- just buyout the last lease and keep it until I can't drive anymore. Replies to this message: jayrider (Nov 10, 2009 12:49 pm)

Replying to: jayrider (Nov 10, 2009 12:16 pm) Forgot the mazda cx-9 --- really like that as well.

Replying to: anonymousposts (Nov 10, 2009 5:23 am) Round about $12k on a trade (tough to pinpoint as my book shows 3 different packages that could include the options you list [luxury, ulimate, or individual options]). So I'd have a tough time paying more than $13,500 on a private deal, personally.
#15050 of 15300 GS by stickguy Nov 10, 2009 (1:18 pm)
I was thinking 14K should be more than enough to take it home (heck, I would probably do it if it was right by me, and I have no need for it!)   This is a car that, to me, you go more with condition and records. Probably worth the exta $500-$1000 if it was obsessively dealer maintained, has fresh brakes and sneaks, etc.   someitmes you gotta pony up for nice.

Replying to: anonymousposts (Nov 10, 2009 5:23 am) Those don't come up very often. I kick myself for not buying a 05 I was looking at. Did he seem flexible at all?
