My car is an 03' with 54k Miles and like I said mint! The only thing it doesn't have is Navi. I am in the process of having an aftermarket system put in with hands free blue tooth. So it didn't bother too much not having navi. I bought the car for $14k. He started back in mid Dec at $17,900 and by the time I found the car had the ask down to $15,495. I included the picture from the craigslist ad. Right Color too!!!!

Try this craiglist/ebay helper. IT's actually the one I used to find the car. It's starts a little slow but work awesome!

I flew down to St Louis sunday at 11:00 and had the car sitting in my garage by 6:00pm. Well worth the 260 mile trip.

It takes about 10 seconds to load and when it does scroll down and start looking. I cut and pasted it with the GS430 search already set up. You can also set the region you are willing to look within.
Hopefully this will help!

WOW. That is a nice GS you got there ChitwinGS. The onyx looks deep from the pictures. I ended up getting the one from Silver auto. It was an exellent example. A small ding.. but other than that well cared for and all original. It does have a Sirius radio antenna ran to somehwere..? But no unit. The salesman told me it was interfaced with the GPS, although I knew that was not true. When it gets warmer around here I am going to trace it and see where it goes. What mods are you planning other than the GPS? Do you have black leather?

Hey Jake, Congrats! I do have the Black leather. Just removed the Tint today and going to have it re-done this week. As the pictures show the tint was 5% and really to dark and hard to see at night. Not to mention, I don't want to draw any more attention from the local law. As for future mods, The car now has new aftermarket exhuast! Mellow but sounds sweet at an idle. I want to put either OEM chrome 17's on the car or maybe something aftermarket. Next will be a sounds system and GPS. That should last me until the Temps warm up. Do you mind me asking what they took for the car. Just curious!

Thanks. I am excited!
I ended up paying 17 flat for it.. I think I maybe could have squeezed another 250 to but that would require the taking a card and leaving game. Which at that point being soo far away it was not worth it. I am happy with the buy.. as you know its becoming increasing hard to find these cars and even harder to find clean ones. I may get some rims too to have summer\winter treads. That will be a bit later though. I am going to get a light tint myself. What %?

I checked this one out... its beat to *****. Really sad though as these cars are becoming rare and this one had low low miles. I believe it was abused, as when I opened the console it had gang graffiti written all over with pen..? Anyway the rear quarter panel had a sizable scrape.. nothing you could get out with paint less dent removal.. all in all a sad story.
