You seem to think like I do. Our GS430 is stock (minus TRD front/rear sway bars). Our car is in perfect condition. Not a single rock chip on the front (had the front painted due to rock chips a few years ago, then installed clear bra), car is waxed 4 times a year, I am a stickler on only using genuine Toyota/Lexus parts and have replaced nearly all suspension components just because, I've changed all fluids multiple times, replaced the headlights a few years ago due to a little bit of condensation. People ask my wife and I about the car all the time, thinking it is a new vehicle. I have people constantly asking to buy it at the Lexus dealer. It truly shines like a new car. I agree with you, all the aftermarket crap people stick on their cars is just not the way to go for me.

Got it from Brian (Sakataj). Apparently it was made before CL had copyright issues with Lexus.

One is used that I bought off of here, the other is brand new.

Thank you guys for all of the kind words.

Are you using only OEM or any upgrades? (brake-pads and lines, spark plugs, filters, etc.)?
Spark Plugs are NGK Iridium IX, although everything else is 100% OEM.

Where's the interior shots ?
This was taken last year. Looks the same today.

I live in FL also. Where do you take your car for maintenance? (drain fluids, etc.)
