Default FS in New England: 1998 GS300

Name: Joe Caruso
Location: Greater Boston Area and Fairfield, CT. I am roughly in ALL of new England.
Mileage: 108k
Price: 13,500 OBO


Hey everyone,
I've been on here for a while, and just decided its time for a change. I love this car and it's been nothing but awesome, but I'd really like to get into a 5-speed IS300. This car has been perfectly maintained and is a beautiful car to drive.

1998 GS300
108k on the clock
Silver/Grey Interior
No Nav

Modifications are as follows:
6000k HIDs
TTE Front Lip
L-Tuned Grill
Roof Spoiler (I can't remember the brand, haha)
De-badged on trunk
eibach springs
KYB struts
MRR HR2 18x9" wheels all around


The car has scratches and a few dings, I'll be honest. I'd give the exterior a 7.5/10 for the simple fact that it has been driven highway for the past 70k+. Before me, it was my mothers car and between her and I the car has been in and out of New England for the past 6-7 years. I'm from MA (which is where the car is registered) and my sister went to school in RI, I went to school in CT, and we have a family house in NH. Most weekends during the summer I would drive the car from CT to NH and back to CT (500 miles round trip). The car drives perfectly and I love it. Clearly there are a few chips from highway driving as well as a few dings from being in a college parking lot, however this car would be an awesome candidate for a DD, or even if you wanted to have a fairly clean slate to modify. I will part out items if there is a demand for some of the items. Any questions feel free to ask.


Interior I would give an 8.5/10. The drivers seat has minor wear as to be expected, but I will detail this entire vehicle before anyone comes to look or purchase it. There are no significant scratches or any tears in the leather. This was adult owned, adult maintained.

Any questions or comments about the vehicle can be addressed here, AIM, PM, or e-mail. With the mods I would love to see it go for 13,500 but I doubt that anyone here would give it that much. I will take reasonable offers for the vehicle, but I am in no rush to sell.

Here's a few pictures of the car with the wheels/grill, and without.



here are some without. This was after me detailing it.

To be honest I'd rather not sell it unless it's on the car. If you were local I'd try to work something out but I'd rather not sell it unless its pickup.

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it a ton.

The clearcoat came off of one wheel, but could be re-coated for $100 - I had it looked at. There is NO curb rash, however there are slight scratches in the clear coat of the wheels.
