Default Picked up a GS430!

So ive had a GS400 for awhile it was black with tan interior loaded with Nav. I loved the car though black gets tiring. Well it had 195000 before I got rear ended and the car got totaled, thankfully there were no injuries. Overall it was a minor accident and both cars were able to be driven. My car ended up tweaked with a kink in the roof and the rear door was hard to open along with the trunk being misaligned. So as that was settled I decided I still loved the 2nd gen gs and I, without a question wanted another GS. So I was so lucky to find a 2001 GS430 with 67k miles. It has everything but the ML and wood steering. I drove an 2005 that had the stereo and thought it was awesome, but you cant always get exactly what you want. Its silver with gray interior. Car is in showroom condition.

Congrats..... Too bad on not having the ML but a major win imo not having the wood covered steering wheel. You couldn't give me one of those wheels.

Clean & sharp. Reminds me of my first GS300. Sold it & regret it months later. So I bought my current GS430fully loaded..
