Default Second intro more pics

Sup guys, names Nick but everyone calls me Nicky B and I'm 20 years young. Reason why I'm here is because I about to purchase my uncles lexus off of him. I made a thread a little while ago but now I got to talking to him about it and I think I'll go through with it. Well This beauty is a 1998 Lexus GS400 with 40,080 miles thats right only 40k miles. This car has been in the garage way more then even driving it. The only real times he even takes it out is when he gets the oil changed and to get detailed at the dealership lol this car is in prestine condition. Well I got to talking to him, I didnt even offer him anything yet but he said he'd take 15k for it. Now once again this car is in a climate controlled 3 car garage and this car is sitting on CARPET not even concrete. During the winter months here in Boston it stays under a car cover. It has the Tan interior that is just in awsome condition and even still has the new car smell. It also has the 17" chrome lexus wheels on it and has the 16" alloys sitting in a box that hell put with the car. I already have plans on modding her right away which would include 20% tints all around and of course 20" wheels. Also since I'm a former auto-body tech I'd like to get a nice clean lip kit or nice clean body kit. Also probably a nice lowering kit on her but im really aiming for air suspension and slam her when i want since i live in a bumpy hood, dont wanna scratch anything on her. Any considerations on the lip or body kit would be highly appreciated sin you guys are the pros. Well enough about me rambling on, heres some pics i took with the black berry. Tell me what you think about it.








and a pic of the engine... this is so friggen clean



Thats all the pics i have now...Let me know

15K sounds like a decent price. I was perusing through autotrader.com and cars with slightly higher mileage have been going for more.

I hope you and your uncle work something out, cause it looks like it's in really good condition and with only 40k on it, I don't think you can go wrong

Thanks guys Ill check out the WALD lip kit and see how it looks. Also I'm a pretty responsible guy and hasn't had anything givin to me. after looking at Seize's profile, i can relate to him. At 18, I bought a Movado watch with my own money, I'm a fitness freak at the gym everyday afetr work, and I also go to school but also work full time. Payments won't be an issue at all. Although the only thing that might hold me back is the fact that I want a street bike very badely I've been racing motocross for years so I'm not sure what to do but i just love this car

thanks guys and yes she is one clean girl. Anyway I was curious as to what you guys thought about curtains and neck pads. jp has neckpads not in tan but in black/black , black/white stiching , and white/white and was wondering what would go best with the tan interior. Session neck rests have tan ones but they 140 for the pair lol. Thanks
