Default New owner-04 GS 430

A little history how I ended up with this. I had a 2000 GS 400 Platinum Edition for 5 yrs. In June 2010 It ended up getting totaled in an accident (not my fault). I tried to find another gs but there were not any around at the time with low miles. I ended up getting a 2006 Nissan Maxima SL and had that for 2 1/2 years, did not like that car. Very rough riding, loud interior noise, bad on gas for a v6.

I have been looking for 3 months and came across this. Mint conditon, It only has 44k miles, 2 owners, nav, Mark Lev, wood wheel, 17" wheels. Also had the timing belt was done last year due to age. It was everything I was looking for. It is great to be back in a Lexus!

No plans to mod at the moment. I am going to get a K & N drop in filter. In the future I might get rims & do a small drop. I really like the 3 GS wheels on this car and a drop. Simple, clean look, thats what I like.

Just going to enjoy for now. It is amazing how smooth & quiet these cars are. The maxima I had felt like i was driving a tin can.
