2001 gs430
Didn't plan on getting this GS430, but a good friend of mine offered it up for free. It's rust free coming from Texas, but it has 295,000 miles and needs some serious TLC. Particularly the suspension. It's going to be a project for sure.

I like the older GS 400s
Car is in the Shade in these pics.
I used original Exhaust tips with muffler delete. Sounds good, looks original.
Interior is nice . I took it to S.C. Motorplex Raceway formally Orangeburg Dragway made 1 pass with it after the muffler delete, I also removed spare tire, went 9.21 at 81mph in the 1/8 th of a mile. The track was in great condition the air was good. I wasn't surprised. These old heavy GS400s will roll !
Bone stock.

A new-to-me 1999 GS300 in Cinnabar Pearl
Hi,
I'm Tony, a confirmed lover of older Lexus sedans - my first was a 1995 LS400, my second a 2000 LS400 (still driving it, for now) and the third, my first GS model, a GS300.
I lucked into the GS300, a beautiful car in Cinnabar Pearl, from a seller who lives a couple of counties awy. It was purchased by them brand new, and 21 years and 129,000 miles later, it still looks and drives like new. The car is unmodified, and I'll probably leave it that way, excepting a radio swap (the OEM display is bad).
I've learned a lot here already, and am looking forward to learning more about my GS300!

Merry Christmas and Hello!
Hi everyone, Tommy here
while I’m new to the GS forums I’ve been a part of ClubLexus for over a decade now. Used to have two SC300s and a IS300 back in the day
as for my new 1998 GS400 wanted to introduce myself so here goes
1. Exterior Color - Pearl White
2. Interior color - Black
3. Major Options - basic package I believe
4. Audio Options - stock , needs a new headunit. Will be on the upgrade list soon
5. Any modifications - Tanabe Medallion Exhaust 3.5” catback. K&N Cold Air Intake. Eibach Springs 1”. Megan Racing sway bars front and rear. 18in wheels 8” front 9” rear
Full 6k LED interior light kit replacement from PercisionLED. Carbon fiber shift **** and vinyl wrapped dash.
7. Southern California - picked it up in Nor Cal and drove it home.
car was mechanic owned before me so most hoses and belts and important pieces have been replaced and are working like new. May need some love on the paint as the clear coat is peeling on the roof but that’s expected with a car this old. Anyway here’s some pics

Hello All,
I'm new here, but I've ended up here countless times while searching for useful information.
I'm from Hungary. Bought the '03 GS 300 used 4-5 years ago. It's the pearlescent "sea green" or whatever it's called. Plain edition ("Executive" package I think?), grey leather interior, standard Pioneer head unit with the cd changer, driver memory seat, steering wheel shift *****, no Navi, no sunroof. It's fully stock, and I'm trying hard to keep it that way. The 16" wheels are also standard (although the 6 spoke rims were usualy standard on the sport design packages). The summer wheels are on non-lexus 17" rims, but with standard 235/45 size. The only modifications I have: US interior rear view mirror, with the compass, and an engine cover that has the Lexus logo on it (mine didn't have it or it's fallen of.) and the steering wheel and shifter **** are redone but the leather is sligthly off color and doesn't have the perforated parts. Car has about 285k kilometers in it.
Unfortunatelly I'm very disappointed with the car, it's not the leendary Lexus quality. It might be cursed... Or maybe I am.
