Here are some to start you off with.
the 98-00 GS400 seems to need its starter replaced. Quite a few of them go bad, including me. It's labor intense to get the job done so you're looking at about $1,200 from lexus (labor+parts). Fix it once and you wont have to worry about it for years. Must be some problem with the original contacts because I dont think i've seen an 01+ GS430 with a starter problem.
If you dont mind getting a 98-00 GS400, go for it. You'll have a lot more money, but just a warning, socal rarely has GS400s with little miles. A lot of them seems close to, or at least 100k miles already. I bought my GS400 for $13.5k with 126k miles and other than the starter problem, the car will last for a long time.
Other than that, there is no real problem.

You might give ebay a try, even after paying for shipping you can come out ahead and you'll have much more selection than just looking locally. I bought my GS400 off ebay, a 1998 with under 21,000 miles for just over 20 grand, so yes what you're looking for is certainly available, just look around.
