Nice choice. I saw that car. It is right next to me. It is in great condition, interior and exterior. Good luck.

Really, im flying up on Friday to get it. That makes me feel better, buying a car via pics is never easy.

Did you notice anything wrong with it that may need attention? Sorry for the question but being your so close.

I will tell you i don't think it was owned primarily by an older couple. The day time running lights on our cars are not fog lights. Somebody definitely rewired those.
I didn't get to look at the engine bay either for any apparent modifications so i couldn't tell you more.

Its amazing to me how someone could trade in the latest version of the gs to downgrade to the previous model (if you could even call it a downgrade). That goes to show that this car is a timeless classic. It is quite simply, the best Lexus ever made!

The headlights are obviously turned on. If you couldn't tell if they were or not, just look at the side markers.

nice pick up man, just recently bought a GGP Sport design myself..



I've had some fast cars as well and i'm pretty happy with the GS300, i've owned a 430, several turbo SC300's.. The GS300 does not feel like a race car and i don't drive it like one, honestly the 2jz has plenty of power for normal driving..

I plan to boost mine here down the road as well.

Lights are on in those pics, I was emailed engine bay shots, strut mounts are untouched, no springs or nothing installed all stock.

this is true, the new GS, was Meh to me, even when I leased my new on at 52k bucks, i would still see the 2GS and think to myself, i like that one more.

Thanks guys for all the + comments, I looked long and hard for the "right" GS, even if it cost me a bit more, I wanted it a certain way and I got it.
