Default New GS owner *updated*

Hi guys just bought a gs300 a couple hours ago and just noticed the temps a little high but he told me it was serviced at 96K (water pump, timing belt & tranny service. Here's a pic ofthe gauge cluster as well, don't mind the crappy cell phone quality lol. Any and all input is appreciated guys.

If the gauge is high check ASAP for temp sensor, low coolant and etc before you cause blown head gasket.

Yeah, it was weird for me at first. Most cars are lower (in my case). But this is normal for the GS.

How is that high? You're not even in the middle and the H is up top in case you guys didn't see it.
