Default Joined the Club...Purchased a 1998 GS400

After looking for over 2 years I finally made the leap and purchased. I was driving a 1991 Acura Legend 4door LS with 168k and 2 weeks ago I bought a 1998 GS400. Was looking at a GS300 and was seriously in till I test drove it and wasnt impressed with the pick-up. Bought a 1998 GS400 silver/black interior. w Nav, spoiler, 17' chrome wheels with 115,000 for $14,200. Decided to go with an older model with more miles on it so I wouldnt be afraid to drive it around. :-) Was kinda concerned about the mileage till I did my research on this board, Really appreciate all the information and experience provided on this site which made the purchase much easier. Really happy with the purchase. Thanks again for all your help.

GSBeliever, you and I must be twins or something


I'm about to buy a 1998 GS400 with 119k miles for about $14k also. It's the same color as your car with the same chrome rims. No navigation though (good for me).

To top it off, my current car (well totaled) is a 1992 acura legend LS 4dr. God forbids if your car was green too!


Nice purchase. Are you in southern california?

nice car and color combo. I think the chromes look better on silver than some other colors.

Yea, maybe we were seperated at birth....that is a funny coincidence GSteg, My Acura was actually Desert Mist. Loved that car. Had a really hard time trading it in but after I drove the GS400 I was sold. Nuff said

Im located in Santa Barbara. The city without a Lexus dealership or a single Lexus garage...I cant figure this one out. Sounds like LuxuryMotorWorks in Monrovia comes highly recommended.
