Not new to Clublexus by any means, had a GTE swapped SC300 for a few years sold it back in 12. Anyway picked up a Black 00 GS400 Platinum today. Always wanted one but only Black on Black. Didn't get a GS300 simply because I would be tempted to boost it lol. I'm doing a build on my 95 HardTop Supra so didn't want too much distractions. Plan for GS is coilovers, wheels, lip kit of some sort. Looking forward to learning about the GS platform as I start to mod.

what's up CL! My name's Jonathan out of S. Florida. I own a 2001 GS300. I'm sitting on 19" BMW Style 95s and dropped on BC coilovers. Other than that my ride's still pretty factory. I have much more to go and look forward to sharing my progress.

Loving it. I've had other lexus models and two other GS but never a 2nd gen. Love this car.
So far I've dropped it and added wheels. Wanted a nice clean "oem plus" type daily driving set up.
Put in Roca lower control arm and castor arm bushings for front end.
Moog lower ball joints and outer tie rods for front end.
Few more things on the to do list. Should be all done relatively soon. Proper detail after that. And then just drive and drive.
Thanks for taking a look and thanks to everyone on the forum for making this such a helpful community!

Hi forum members,
My name is Ralph and I just bought a 2002 GS300 Executive here in the Netherlands.
I owned a 1999 BMW 520i and some other cars prior to this purchase.
I'm the second owner, and the car only has 75k miles. It has a full lexus maintenance record and timing belt has recently been replaced.
The car has the following options:
- Xenon headlights
- Heated seats
- Headlight washers
- Navigation, non-ML
- Sunroof
- Electric seats with memory
- Park assist front and back
I bought the car at our local official Lexus dealer, and I can pick it up in a week or two.
The deal I made with the dealer includes the GROM BT3 installation, winter and summer tires and spot repair (there was a little scratch on the front).
It took me quite a while to find a nice GS, but I think my waiting has been rewarded.
Things I want to do is the 2015/16 map update and upgrade the wheels to 17 inch stock wheels. (Here in Europe we don't have wheels as big as yours)
One of my first trips will be a 700 mile road trip to Austria, and I can't wait.
Thanks to all of you for all the information here on CL. Without you guys I could not have done so much research.
Finally some pictures that the dealer made for the advertisement. I will post a few better ones when the car is delivered.
Cheers all!

Hi, I've been here almost 2 months and haven't introduced my GS. I bought my 99 GS400 from the original owner in January for $2500. I had to drive almost 6 hours round trip to get it. It has 205,000 miles but runs awesome. All I've had to do is replace the starter. I have the window sticker and everything. Original owner payed $52,500 in 1999. I have big plans for it and have done a lot in 2 months, but it's at a stopping point for a while.
When I first got it
How it looks now

Miss my old car...planning to get another one soon

Hey, new member here From WA state. Previously had a Mag black 09' 370z sport/touring 6mt but baby takes care of that real quick. Have always liked the 2nd gen gs body, so I decided whence the time came, Id get one so here I am. Bought all stock minus infinity wheels. I will start a build thread when it deserves it. Got lots of plans for it. Coils coming in the next few days, serialnine csl style trunk soon as well, lots of goodies, wheels, bars, bbk, boost. Lots of goodies.
