2001 GS430 Black on Black FS - Oregon
OK - I'm wanting to sell my 2001 gs430. When I want to sell something I don't mess around - I just do it so get a great deal now. I'm in Albany Oregon - I want to sell this quick so I'm listing it at a VERY low price - if it doesn't sell very quickly - I'm going to take it to the car lot and trade it in on a GX470.
The car has everything except Nav, heated seats, Mark levinson and moonroof. It does have the wood steering wheel, and spoiler - I guess everything else is pretty much standard on these cars.
The Good (Mods):
Lowered a couple inches with l-tuned shocks and H&R springs.
Daizen sway bars and bushings.
18" chrome adr sterling wheels with perelli p-zero nero tires.
3.76 Limited slip diff.
PI Dragon Torque Convertor
Tranny Cooler
Interior lights swapped with blue leds - also blue led ignition light.
Illuminated door sills that say 'lexus' - light up blue - very cool at night.
Dark Tint
Chromed front grill
Python alarm - Remote start - puts windows down - automatically rolls all four windows up when you lock/arm.
The Bad:
The paint on these cars just sucks. Very soft - there are lots of little dings and scuffs in the black paint when you look up close. I've had the front bumper and hood repainted because of rock chips - and a couple years later - pretty much the same story.
Occasionally, the aftermarket torque convertor causes the check engine light to come on. This is just a matter of pluging in a obd-II handheld and clearing the error. This comes on randomly usually about once every 3 months - I have had it come on twice in one month though - so I don't know what triggers it.
Since installing the aftermarket wheels and tires - sometimes there is slight vibration in the steering wheel at 55-65 mph. Not sure what causes it but there are many threads here about it and I think it can be fixed if it is bothersome.
That's everything - the car is really beautiful - I get compliments all the time. It has 80 some thousand miles I think - my wife has it now - I'll post the exact mileage later today. I believe I still have the original suspension components, torque convertor and differential - the new owner is welcome to them if he/she wishes. I'll post pics later when I can take some. I have the title in hand, first 16K takes the car - email me at daleerbadiei@comcast.net if you are interested.
Thanks.

OK - my original tire/wheels never sold - so I'll throw these in as well https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=149990 - the new owner can either sell them or throw them back on the car if he doesn't want to fix/deal with the shudder. This has got to be worth $500 or more - so this deal is really good. I'm already getting impatient - please jump on this now if you're interested - great deal for someone but I'm sure the dealership will get an even greater deal if I trade it in

There's not really dents - just minor scuffs in the paint from only God knows what. The car looks good but if you are standing right next to it the paint certainly isn't perfect. Waxing helps but doesn't cover the imperfections. There are some very small dings on the hood/bumper where there are tiny spots of white like pencil-head size showing from nicks. Basically the paint ain't perfect - everything else pretty much is. I'd have to take close ups of the entire car to show all the imperfections cause as a 2001 with such soft paint - it just ain't perfect. As you see in the pic though - nothing that's noticable when standing back away - you need to be close.
