I picked it up at the dealer auction. I have a hook up over there. We had the winning bid of $24,750 (which i think is a steal) - with taxes, license & fees, i'm close to $27K.

Beautiful GS430 and great color combo. Have fun waxing that baby, it's worth the pain. You will have many fun days (and nights) with that car. Congrats

Congrats, a black/black GS430 with ML, Nav and 17's is a rare find, there is another member in Chicago who went from a Maxima to a GS430, search for LStyle.

Talking Awesome Care Yo!

I also bought a LXGS430 in June with only 16k. It is an awesome car forsure, such a head turner. Congrats. Hit me up sometime Mine is the same except the wheels are chrome.

Well, guys - it's been almost a month w/ this beauty & i still smile every time i get behind the wheel of this beast.

Although I only have tinted windows (for now), i feel like everyone's always checking out my car. It's truly stunning. I always try to find stupid reasons to go out and drive it. I have pretty much completely forgotten about my Maxima, which is hard to say because I REALLY loved that car.

Thanks for the warm welcome to the club and i look forward to learning a lot more from everyone & hopefully meeting some of the Chicago people.

Congrats on a great looking ride from another former 5.5gen Max owner! You waited a long time so I'm glad you were able to get exactly what you were looking for.
