Hi! I recently traded my 98 e39 BMW for this 99 GS300. It currently has a whopping 250k miles but seems to be running strong...much stronger and smoother than the problematic BMW that I traded it for![Woohoo](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/woohoo.gif)
Anyway, while browsing through the pictures on this forum, I believe "CptCrunch" used to own this car before the last owner. "CptCrunch," if you see this post, I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me whatever history you know about the car. I plan to do some preventative maintenance on it, but if some work has already been performed I'd really like to know![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Anyway, here she is...needs some cleaning up but it'll be a nice and comfy daily driver![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Quick wash and interior shampoo'ed before I took her home last night...

Here's the car I traded to get the Lexus...it looked nice but ran rough (I just couldn't bare to spend more and more money trying to resolve the issue)![Thumb Down](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsdown.gif)

That's why I bought my 01 GS300 in 2008 with 120k miles on it for $6000 and then sold it a year later with 145k miles on it for $7500

I agree...it's great to know that my car belonged to a fellow enthusiast and not just some kid off the street who didn't know anything about it![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Thanks! I'll keep the maintenance up to date as much as possible. Gotta get started on it here soon though!

Thanks man! I'm really liking the smooth ride and comfort!
That's what I said when I first checked it out! The body condition alone shows that it was cared for throughout the 250k miles it was driven.
Well, I got it in a trade deal...and my BMW was acting up big time, so I guess you can say I got a "good deal" lol!
