Whats up guys, i just bought an 01 GS430. Black on Black, with navi and hids. Well here is the picture for you guys.



Got this sucker for $18,500. Slight rock chipping from highway rocks, but all in all the car is mint. And this is to be my daily driver. Got it from Thompson Lexus, certified.

It's a mazing since I have had my car dropped I can't stand seeing stock GSs with the 4x4 effect.

Thanx guys.

I was thinking about dropping it, but I don't think i will do anything to it at all. Well I am putting it the newest compustar, lojack, and tints. My old daily driver, which was a Ford Probe, don't lough, i dropped nearly 30k into it. It was nice, but way too much wories about it after dropping that much $$$ into it. If i leave this the way it is, i won't be worried about haveing it dinged, hitting a pothole nothing.

Oh yeah, my 18x8 SSR Integral GT1 rims from the probe fit the GS perfectly. I will take pics once the weather clears up. But the 4x4 look kind of messes up the look of the rims, so I am thinking about selling them, but i need opinions.

Nope, that is only where I bought the car. I would not buy anything out of NYC for this much money.

I am in Brooklyn, NY.

Got that right. I didn't want to spend more than $25, especially since i never drove one. Plus I don't plan on keeping it too long. 2-3 years tops, and i will upgrade to the new one.
