Default My 2001 GS430 For Sale!

Wow, I never thought this day would come, but I’m looking towards a new project in the Spring (IS350, GS??). I know I might be biased, but I really can’t say enough about this car. All the Chicago guys can back me up…..

2001 Lexus GS430-Millenium Silver w/Navi
80,500 miles
Price:$17,000
Location: Suburbs of Chicago

I have babied since I bought it back in 2005 from Bredeman Lexus in Glenview. One previous owner, all records maintained. Never been in an accident; clean title. I have all the original stock equipment for the vehicle that was done prior to customization that can be reinstalled if chosen to do so. The vehicle has also been consistently detailed with high end detail products (i.e. Zaino, Zymol, Klasse) among others. I have no idea how much I’ve invested, but I've accepted that I'll never be able to regain that loss. I would rather sell the vehicle “as-is” than part it out. There are NO dents or imperfections on the vehicle.

Well here it goes….

Starting from the front and moving back:

• Greddy front lip
• Clear-bra under front lip spoiler
• Custom full chrome sport grill
• Driving accents lights converted to PIAA LED Super-whites to match HID
• Clear side-markers with PIAA Led Super-white bulbs
• Brembo front slotted rotors
• Custom Painted Engine cover to match body (1CO Paint Color)
• Polished VVTI Covers
• Rod Millen Front Strut Bar
• Daizen Polyurethane Steering Arm Bushings.
• Custom Painted Swift Racing Technology Intake with Piggyback ECU
• Painted Heat Shield
• Navigation updated to 2004 version
• PIAA interior lights
• Custom ambient light
• L-sportline roof spoiler
• 19’’ L-sportline M4 3-piece staggered chrome wheels
• Toyo Proxes T1-S Rubber (275 in rear 245 in front)
• Two extra brand new 275 Toyo Proxes T1-S
• Black calipers with embossed “Lexus”
• Custom System - JL 12’’ Custom sub enclosure with JL amp (see pictures)
• Cusco rear strut bar fully hidden
• L-sportline springs
• Blitz-Nur Spec Exhaust
• PIAA Rear License Plate LED Illumination
• 3M tinted taillights (removable tint)
• All windows are tinted to 35%
• More….

The leather is in excellent condition and is ritually conditioned with Lexol. I bought new mats last year along with a new chrome shift bezel. In addition I have the stock 17’’ sport rims with Dunlop Winter SV tires (less than 500 miles on them) even though I have not driven the car during the winter months. I thought I was going to have to drive it during the winter, but I ended up buying a beater. As sick as it may sound, I had the stock sport wheels refinished even though I don't use them...they look brand new. The vehicle sits in my garage from about November to May. Mobil Full Synthetic Motor Oil and Royal Purple products. Both front headlights were replaced under warranty due to a typical condensation problem that occurs on the GS’s. This vehicle has been adult driven by one driver; NEVER abused. Any further questions about the vehicle can be addressed accordingly. PM me with any questions.

Thanks CL

-Steve

BTW...I am extremely open to feedback.

If I don't sell the car, I will probably take on the effort of parting it out this winter.

Thanks in advance...

I can vouch for this seller and the car! Its in great condition all around and sits in his garage. Shame to see such a nicely modded car leave a great member!

There are more pics of this car all over the Chicago region also from our previous meets.

Good luck with everything Steve!

If I can find a 07 or 08 Black or Blue TL-S MT with Nav then I'm afraid I'll have to buy it. Or else its a IS or GS....decisions, decisions

This GS is always one of the cleanest cars at the chicago meets. I would've bought it myself if I had the money.
