I told them to replace everything. 1400$. I got another quote from another shop I use and it was 17xx$. When I asked about the difference is when I found out about $55 a gallon Lexus anti freeze.

2005 with 166K and drives like a dream. She's just a baby at that mileage. Ok, maybe a teenager.

Default Like no tomorrow

I give it to my gs300, it runs, had its problems along the way, however while fixing it up, I really got a chance to admire that car, especially the way it drives!!

2578 GS300's is pretty rare also. They only made 3000 Total GS's in 2005. Compare to 1st-4 years, they made 18K-23K GS300's Total per year.

From what I research the 2004 & 2005 GS430 is identical car, no changes from 2004 to 2005 except build date. Cheers!!
