Thats a very nice car you have. I plan to drop, throw on some 19s, led tails, projector retrofit and clear the headlights, maybe tte or tte rep lip, and possibly exhaust or change the tips..

Wow this is an epic fail. Just got a call and the seller decided to trade in instead for a lower price than I offered.... Sometimes people do not make sense.

Shame. I'm sure they were given other incentives as well besides just the asking price - tax breaks (maybe he went electric?), free options, oil changes for as long as he owns it.. who knows..

anyway, good luck on your search!

Yeah he said he traded in for a toyota prius.... I got all happy I was going to be a new owner of a gs. The search continues.

So does this mean you're hooked on Cinnabar now? They don't come up too often.

Yeah cinnabar is starting to wear on me. Its actually not a bad color. It would go really well with some hypersilver rims. i was thinking like zauber gettins. Too bad I couldnt get this one.

The first one is not Cinnabar.
Who ever says cinnabar is not rare, clearly doesn't know the 2GS. The color is beautiful. Cinnabar GS430's with black interior are the rarest. Keep on looking, I'm sure there are a few out there.
If you want my advice, stay away from 300's. They're pretty slow stock.

Yeah I was not even including the gs300 in my search. Only the gs400 or gs430. Id like to have a cinnabar but whatever color comes up and has everything I want with the right price I will buy. I cant stay too picky buying 10 year old cars lol

It will be worth the wait and the paint is getting a nice break from the sun.
