Just wondering if any one of you guys might know what this colour is called? Keep in mind though...that this is a eurospec 2001 GS300.
It is a nice blue. The hottest blue that I've seen is hands down BLUE LEX's GS.
Maybe he'll know.

One other thing -- it looks like the car does not have HIDs.

Youre right...so no sunroof, no nav, no xenonlights (HID's to you guys )...compared to us-specs this one is a well underequipped GS then?

Nope, i dont think so...the oem wheels on this vehicle has wintertires on them...these apparently are the "summershoes" And they had a great deal of curbings on them...

dThe car arrived...from Germany...at the dealership today. And i went to see it on my lunchbreak. Wow!...is all i can say! The car had just been driven of the lorry, and was quite dirty...on the outside. At first glance, the car seems like it has very few...if any...stonechips on the front...no curbing on the original alloys (very good sign) and was generally in a better condition than id dared hope for! Got a hold of the manager, and he gave me the keys to go have a look inside. Man...ive only ever driven a gs once before...for about 10mins...but i just know im going to get used to this!

The leather interior looks like it hasnt been used! This also includes the steeringwheel! The area around "frequently used buttons" didnt show any sign of use! There was a 7" Alpine-screen (incl. a sat.nav. system i think) mounted on a bracket on the side of the centerconsole....and it did seem that the bracket-thingy was fastened by a screw! This is the only thing that worries me a little A few more days now...finnishing of the paperwork etc. and im finally a Lexus-owner!

But...theres a backup sensor-system on it...and im wondering if this is dealer installed option...or a factory option?

Oh...and yeah...the boot is GRANDE!

For future reference...i feel i must correct myself on this one The mentioned wheels where an option through the european lexus-dealers. Made by Borbet i guess...as most TTE-wheels are.

Noticed this today...when i found an old Lexus-accesories cd-rom from 2003 i had laying around

Oh..and btw...i will finally be able to post a few pics of the car...seeing as i bought myself a Canon EOS 400D (Rebel XTi in the US?) yesterday as an early christmaspresent!

And....the aforementioned parking-sensor seems to be a dealer-installed option...kind of a neat feature...when youre learning to know where the corners of the car REALLY are!
