Default My new GS430

Has been a while since I owned a GS ,but just got home from a 9 hour road trip to pick up my 2006 GS 430 from Denver Colorado . Too tired to post pics right now but when I do it may look a little familiar to some. Purchased it from CL member M.K.S. First let me say that I bought the car sight unseen , and as mentioned had to travel 9 hours to get it, and M.K.S couldn't have made the process any easier , from purchase to pickup . Not to mention the car is immaculate, he kept the car the way cars should be ,clean , and running prestine . I'll post pics as soon as I clean her up got really dirty during its journey to Oklahoma . Thanks again Mike

Finally able to a take a few pics of the car, please excuse the poor quality took them on my phone.

Congrats!!
. Its a nice car . I bet you had a blast driving back the car for 9 hours.
I know I did when I drove my 430 from Milwakee to NYC.

There is something exciting about buying a car unseen. Kudos for taking such a long road trip to get the car you wanted!!

What's up Quentin! I'm glad you like the car, looks like your going to have to change your user name now!

For anyone in the future buying parts from him, he's a standup guy. We talked on Monday, and on Tuesday the funds were in my account.

Enjoy the car buddy, I'll sure miss it.

^ what I understand you sold him the car so you need to change your sign too. LOL

Congrad. Welcome to the GS430 family.

PS. Watch out for cops. LOL I have to constantly check my speed when driving. Doing over 80mph too easily, you know. LOL

Thanks, definitly had to keep a check on the speedo the entire trip back. Car rides so smooth, going 70 MPH at just under 2K RPM its really easy to forget just how fast your going.

Just my luck that yesterday evening it would decide to rain (after 3 straight weeks without so much as a drop) so unfortunately wasn't able to wash the GS and snap a few pictures. Will give it another try when I get off work today.
