Default Time to say farewell....

Sorry that I've been absent of late but 2007 was a very crazy year for me. But now, after a few years on this forum its coming time to say farewell since I am now putting my Blue Baby up for sale.

I haven't priced it out yet, but thought I'd let you all know first. 1999 Spectra Blue GS400. 85k miles. One owner - me. Garaged both at home and at work. Serviced only at Lexus of Bellevue.

MODS include....

- 20" Foose Speedsters /w Toyo Proxis T1-S (8.5" front / 9/5" rear)
- White LED DRL's
- 2001 Rear Brake Lamps Upgrade
- Chrome Grill (from Lextasy.com)
- Blitz Nur-Spec Exhaust

I still can't believe that I'm actually going to sell her. I LOVE this car. It has been my best car in ever single way.


.... but I guess LIfe goes on. I almost dont want to see it being driven around locally, you know? ;-) But oh well.

Hey do you guys have any clue what I should sell this for? ;-)

I'm selling her because I just bought a 2006 Infiniti FX45. I needed something a bit more utilitarian, but still wanted luxury and power like my GS400. It's certainly not a Lexus, but damn it has the bells and whistles and it is pretty damn fast to boot. 0-60 in 6.3. Not bad at all for a CUV, huh? 320hp V8. I was hoping that Lexus would do SOMETHING soon in the CUV arena, because I was in no way shape or form interested in the RX. For some reason I have never really liked that car from the beginning. Drove one once when I turned mine in for maintenance and it was nice, but it was too "suv/minivan" for me.

Thanks for the price suggestion.....

Oh by the way, though I haven't officially put the car up for sale, I thought I'd let you guys know that I'm going to aim for a price of only $15,500 OBO. I'm not looking to hold onto this car for long so am pricing it to go fast.

Let me know if it comes to the point when you want to part it out. I would be intrested in the exhaust and could even do the swap back to stock for you.

Sorry guys, no plans to part out at this particular time. I have a number of private interests....
