Default My Newly Acquired GS400

Hey guys. Not new to the forum, but new to the GS scene!

Some of you may know me from over on the SC section, and some I've already met you. I look forward to meeting with all of you!


About the car - I picked her up on Saturday the 26th at Sewell Lexus (you may have heard of them...known for their parts department).

A few stats on the car:

GS400
Just rolled over to 129k
Black on Black
Nakamichi
Stock HID Headlights
Yellow Foglights


Few pics for you guys -







Also, I just bought myself a gold Fusa.


I'm located in DFW, (if Sewell didn't give you a hint), so hit me up on Aim or shoot me an email if you'd like to chat.

my AIM is sirparkalotsc400

email is thomasp23@hotmail.com

Let's chat!

Oh my jeebus... that is a great price for a great car. Do the balljoint, and by that I don't meant the catchy dance I just created. Man cars are cheap now... I paid a lot more for my 300... I'm jealous.

Yes,

almost everything on the car has been replaced. I believe I got a steal...

Sewell is located on Lemmon Ave. in Dallas, Tx. I believe they're a CL Vendor.
