Nicely modded 1998 GS300 for sale...
Can't believe I'm doing this but up for grabs is my tastefully modded GS300. Nothing is wrong with it, I'm just thinking about changing up the scenery in the garage. I almost kinda don't want to sell but I kinda have my eye on something a little quicker. I have all service receipts and all oil changes and engine services were performed at either TM Engineering or a Toyota dealership.
Some random pics that I found - haven't had a chance to take real photos for the purpose of selling.
Basic stats:
1998 GS300 with 146k miles and has a clear title - owned free and clear. Car has gone through 2 bumpers already due to stupid people. The hits were minor but I want to be honest. No fender issues, just the bumper. 15k for everything aside from the optional equipment- price is somewhat negotiable. If the buyer purchases all the turbo stuff too, I will make it a VERY sweet deal.
I purchased the car from my parents back in 2004 for my 25th birthday with 50k miles and since then I've driven the car A LOT. haha!
Car runs great- the past 96k have been put on in the past 3 years and it almost all has been Phoenix driving. I like doing laps around the city... lol- I can't believe I've driven the car that much!

Oh man, I almost don't want to sell her. I'm not desperate to sell so please no ridiculously low offers. Thanks.

I could have it fixed but I'd rather lower the price instead of going through the hassle- price lowered to $14,500.

Had a fellow member ask me about the paint, dents, interior, etc... I took the time to answer him directly but just for everyone else:
The paint isn't bad at all. I always park away from other cars if possible so there are no dents, no side chips or anything like that. The front bumper and hood have taken their fair share of rock chips but that's to be expected on any car with this many miles.
Interior is good, the arm rest is a little worn and the driver's seat piping has a few cracks but that's why I picked up another member's used set of OEM Lexus leather seats (just the covers, not the whole seat with padding and structural stuff). I have yet to detail the car since it is monsoon season out here and the car can get pretty dirty within a week but when August comes, I was planning on having it detailed. The engine has always been maintained at a Toyota dealership, all oil changes every 3-4k miles, timing belt replaced at 120k, serpentine belt replaced at 110k miles along with accessory belt tensioner (cheap fix: $20 and a fellow CL member helped me). Tranny is smooth, never overheated and tranny was flushed at 100k. Trunk is in a nicely usable shape. I beefed up the flooring since I often times carry some heavy boxes and the 13w7 subwoofer box would have demolished the factory carpeted bottom. I'll take some pics and throw them online later today.
Thanks.
