Default Finally made the move 01 gs430

Well i went to the local lexus dealer today to check out a 01 Onyx Blue on Gray GS430 today. The car has 51k on it, fully loaded down to the chrome rims (which i don't care for), the thing looks brand new. They were asking 19k for it but got them down to 16k, added a 3 yr/36k full warranty for 2k, all service records from date of purchase, pretty happy with my purchase. Now i just need to shave the rear wing and get some coilovers / wheels!

Congratulations and good luck!!! Everywhere I look around now prices are dropping so drastically on these GS' and the LS4's.... If I was to consider selling, I don't think I could get back what I paid for my GS4...... and that was just 3 months ago.

yeah i definitely got lucky. The finance manager offered me the warranty so i took it, it might've been because of the low mileage that he offered it to me. I figured if something breaks in the car it'll pay off. Going to take some pictures soon.
