Default I pick up a 98 GS400 on Friday

Found this baby on Craigslist with 85k miles and 90k service done in excellent condition and just needs tires in about 5k miles.

Already has touchscreen Pioneer head unit and 4 Beyma speakers in the doors with a JL 4 channel amp included.

2 Owner besides the college kid who I am buying from has only had it 7 months and 5k miles driven. Test drove last week and it was great. Has HID's also.

Was serviced religiously up to 40k then again at 70k and just recently 90k service. All this for $8000 which to some may be high but you will not find a ~80k example in this condition anywhere near my zipcode with the carfax and service history anytime soon.. trust me I looked.
I can't wait

Looks good! $8k does sound a little bit on the high side, but if you feel comfortable with your purchase, that's all that matters.

That poor car looks cold in all that snow! I think you made a decent deal especially if they're hard to find in your area. I like that green a lot. There's a green gs300 that my daughter's teacher drives and I've been trying to convince her to sell it to me for a few years now with no luck.

Well drove it home today.. Tires were actually pretty new just noisy on road a bit
And.... Found out I need a door lock actuator rebuild on the driver door

Other than that it's an awesome car especially with the aftermarket head unit and Beyma speakers in the doors with the JL amp just need a small sub maybe
