Default Officially part of the club!! My new GS430!! **PICS**

I sold my Maxima this week, and i wasted no time finding a replacement. The Lexus dealer auction just happened to be yesterday & they had one EXACTLY how i wanted it.

2002 GS430 - blk/blk - ML - Navi - 17" sport rims - spoiler - Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires - 56K miles

It is a lease return with all the maintenance records on the Lexus dealers database. The previous owner must have taken amazing care of it. There are no dents or scratches, just a few rock chips on the hood (typical of a highway driven black car). The paint is smooth as a baby's butt.

**EDIT: I'm missing the floor mats and the 6CD magazine for the changer. Let me know if anyone has a hook up or a place i can find them.**

I'm looking forward to learning a lot from everyone and transitioning over from maxima.org

-George

Here are the pics:

congrats on the new car. After looking at the pics I'm surprised you were able to tear yourself away from her long enough to post up here. I'm sure you'll be plenty pleased with your purchase.

Thanks guys! I love it more and more every time i look at it.

It's only missing 2 things:
Floor mats - where can I get blk OEM mats cheap?
6CD changer magazine for the ML - cheapest site?

Thanks!

Congratulations on your new car. Yet another former Maxima owner. I had a Sterling Mist Anniversary Edition before I bought my Silver/Black GS430. I wonder how many GS owners are former/current Maxima owners
