Honestly, Gs is a very well made car and I compare every car I drive to it...
I had the same problem last year....
I owned a brand new Blk/Blk 300 I bought in 99 had it for a couple of years, Too slow 4 me, So I sold it got a 400... This is before Is300 came out and all the tuners jumped on the IS/GS300 motor..
So I got the 400, now its way faster than the 300 and now its way faster than a stock 400, But again... too bored... wanted more... debated going back to 300 again and going turbo...
But GS has dropped a lot of value over the years.....way more than a german comparison like the BMW 540...
Couldn't go down the old path again... so I decided to keep the 400 and buy another car...
Just bought me BLK/BLK 03 M5, but I still have GS parked in the garage... Still after driving a car that is in everyway better than the GS I still can't seem to let it go... Too much Heart and money and labour went into it... I can't see some fool driving my car...
So for now i'm keeping it or perhaps pass it to my lil bro...
Just look on the road, tons of X5's and Bimmers all around U..... but you don't see a modded GS everyday... Thats what I wanted... To be different...
As ralf in Simpsons said it "I'm Special"
We'll see.... I say keep it dude, or sell and get a 300 and go TO4 turbo... My friend just did this on his IS300 and all I can say is wow( over 400WHP at 1 bar boost).... SO fast, So sick... Sounds amazing... Still eats less gas than the 400...
Even now, I'm planning to do 745 Conversion on the M5, can't have mine looking like the rest...
I will eventually post pix..ehehe
Again... It all comes to $$$$$$, and how much U got of it <------------------------
So I hope U really think deep down and see what U want...
U can't buy a car as good as the GS for 15K....

I would say keep the car.. I just bought a 99 GS400 with 95K on it, and it drives just like it's new. I work at a small dealership where we sell a lot of high end cars, like the 540i, the 740, Mercedes E class, Audi. I have driven all these cars and I must say that I love the feeling of a lexus. Originally I was going to buy a 540, but they cost wasy too much to maintain, I can't believe how many problems some of these audis, bmws and mercedes have.
I just drove a 95 lexus LS400 with 141,000 miles on it and it still drives like it is new. The owner of my dealership had a LS400 for three years, bought it with 120K and sold it with 250K, all he did was replace the alternator and put a new set of tires on it in that time!!!!!!
I bought my car because I got such a good deal on it, I picked it up from the auction and I know that it will not lose any vaue. I can drive it for a year and still sell it for more than I paid. I would say keep it, it's a great car and it is paid for, if anything just get another car....Let me know if you are looking for anything, I might be able to help out.
