Help needed. 400 or 430/ what year?
Hi Everyone,
This is my first post. Im DONE with my Honda EX 4cyl. After test driving GS 400, BMW540i and CLK 430, I have recently decided that I MUST own a Lexus GS. I definitely want a 400. Anybody with any opinion on which used Lexus they think is 'the one', Id love to read it.
Im not planning on racing but over time would love to make some subtle after market improvements to the car's performance and handling.
In other words, with all your that you guys have learned through research and your own experience....(what if any) are the major differences between say a 98 400 and an 01 430? Other than the huge diff. in price.
Obviously money is an issue..otherwise Id have to guess a fully loaded 02 GS 430 would be an easy choice!
In short, what should a guy know before deciding upon 'how much' to spend on 'which' GS4? Is mileage an issue, stay under what number? L tuned yes or no? stock 16's and upgrade myself? factory spoiler yes or no? etc etc etc.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Wish me luck!!
