a 2001 GS430 with 52k miles! Must say, it's a lot more fun to drive this one!

I've already dropped $400 into it too, lol. Picked up a new OEM spoiler, 10% window tint and some OEM floor mats since they were missing. Wheels and Pioneer AVIC-Z1 or Z2 to follow! Let me know what ya think!

Nice.

Seems like we're on the same wavelength b/c I've been "thinking" of trading my
99 white GS300 for a (black) +01 GS 430 also

Mind me asking how much you got it for?

haha, ya, it was kind of spur of the moment. The miles is what really turned me towards getting it. My 99 had 110k on it. I put nearly 30k miles on it in 11 months. Now I'm buying a work truck so that I don't do the same with this one!

I paid $18k for it with tax, tag, title, warranty, etc. Unfortunately had to roll over some negative equity that's not included in that. But I think I got a pretty good deal on it!

Thanks for all the kind words guys.

and ya, definitely going with the LED tails. Just not sure which ones. Can't see dropping the $1,300 like some of these people have.
