Smile gs300 buying guide

hey.. im new here.. i own a 4th gen prelude and on BayAreaPrelude.com

and now im on the market for 99-00 GS300


i was wondering if you guys could list any problems with these cars or something i should be aware of..



i see a couple of 99 gs300 for about $9K with mileages around 85-100k miles. wondering if those are good deals?

im getting a loan, so i would like to know some tips/advice on either putting money on something that i will keep for more than 2yrs

things you gotta look for in a used 99 GS would be the ball joints and timing belt. Ball joints on the GS are known to fail, be sure to check it out. Other than that the GS is a very dependable ride.
