this is a great buy. the motor will last a long time. make sure you get a history of the maintenance from the lexus dealer.

Hi there

It sounds like a great price. But check if vehicle history (any accidents, any painting jobs, etc.)

Good luck.

Congrats and welcome to the Lexus family.

You got an awesome deal!

The GS300 is still a powerful car. Enjoy every second of it and post pics!!!

Congrats on the buy!
GS3 is always fun to drive, it has better gas mileage than GS4 and you will have a lesser chance getting caught by police

Congrats.
A white GS is awesome. It's gonna look clean no matter what and it's alot cooler (inside temp) in the summer as opposed to a black.

Default GS300

That is a great deal if in fact there are no issues, I just bought an 01' about 8 months ago and believe me that is a good deal, those miles are not a big deal at all especially with these cars.
And I like horsepower but the 300 is fast enough for me for the time that I drive the car a 430 would have just gotten me a trouble........good luck with the modding
