Default New to GS world

Just picked up a 99 GS300, Silver, 18" wheels, remote start and 69K miles. I paid 13K even. There are a few blemishes on the outside mainly on the bumpers. I was thinkin about a body kit down the road though. The inside looks great, normal where and tear. Anything to worry about with these cars, anything I should look for.

Congrats and welcome to CL.

I think the pretty common points of failure on these cars are the ball joints. Aside from that, the cars are a dream to own.

These are just a few pics. I am realy interested in body kits and spoiler info, if anyone has suggestions. Cost is important. I would post more pics but dont know how to put more than one at a time.

Welcome to CL. You are in the same boat as I am - we are both in desperate need of a trunk spoiler Of course our cars still look better than 99.99999% of what else is out there.
