Default Differences from 98-05?

Hi, I'm currently looking to purchase a 98-05 gs300, most likely, somewhere between 98-00 since that is what my budget is allowing me to purchase but I was wondering what are the differences in exterior, interior, suspension, and powetrain from the years 98-05 because they look identical to me. I'm only in the market for a black on black or a white on tan/black so if you can let me know differences in those in particular, I would appreciate greatly. I'd also like to know exactly how rare is it to find a white exterior with black interior.

Alot of people are going to tell you to search, because your about the millionth person to post this. Basically 98-00 have a 4.0 V8 for the GS400. 01-05 have a 4.3 v8 with 10Tq more. 01-05 also have different tailights, a few upgraded features, upgraded nav etc. But that's basically it very generalized.

White on black is almost impossible to find. Black on black is what i have and that's very rare as well..

Good luck, and welcome!

You might have a hard time finding one for that price range. Good luck!
