Default Mikeyboy's Modified 98 GS300 for sale. :(

Well, it sucks but I am looking to get rid of my baby. I've had the car since October and have dropped about $12,000 in to it thus far. I paid $14,000 for it from the auction at the time. This car has cost me a grand total of $25,000. Truth is, I'm looking for a hard top convertible 2 door car that will be my next project. The car is absolutly flawless. Its a 1998 cinnabar pearl GS300. It's got about 126,000 miles, and yes you may say its alot but I own amechanics shop and stay on top of the car like no other. The engine and transmission are 110%, and bring your own mechanic to see it if you dont believe me. Many have seen it and can tell you its gorgeous. I just had the entire car painted. I have always hand washed my car every 3 or 4 days and waxed it about every 2 weeks. The paint is smoother than a baby's butt. I'm located in North Jersey, so if you're interested in seeing the car, let me know. My asking price is $19,500 but all offers are welcome, please do PM at any time.
Here is a list of the modifications:

Performance:
(Real) Rod Millen intake
Cross drilled and slotted rotors all around
Axxis performance pads
L-Tuned ECU

L-Tuned shock
Cusco Strut bar (each post is painted the same color as the car)

Exterior Cosmetic:
8000K Hella HIDs in the headlights(installed) AND FOG LIGHTS(waiting to be installed, but included).
TTE lip
Rod Millen Grille with chrome Lexus logo and polished mesh
DSR v2 roof spoiler

Side rain guards(not yet installed, but will include)
Debadged w/ chrome Lexus logo(cinnabar's come with gold)
02+ headlights(green tint)

One of the amps is in repair but should be out shortly.
6.5" pioneer speakers in each door
180 watt(hidden) MTX amp for highs
Removed stock woofer and Dynamated the entire trunk
Custom hand madestainless steel lexus logo mounted in the inside of the trunk when opened, with LEDs shining on it. I really get alot of comments for this and is extremely nice to see when dark.


I'm sure theres plenty i've missed, and i'll be adding things to the modifications as i remember what i've missed. Again, i hate selling it because i love the car and its the best care i've ever owned but I really need something smaller where i cant have passengers in the back.
You can PM me for my number, and if you can't tell, my name is Mike.

BTW, I will be attending Johnny's BBQ on August 1st, if anyone would like to see the car there, that is fine.
As an added note - Neck breaking was a hobby for me in this car.

Feel free to call me at 862-881-6154, if i do not answer, then leave a message and I will get back to you ASAP

in the perspective of an economist, you will get so much more if you were to part out the car and sell the car stock IMO.. ill gladly take a couple things off your hand.. but good luck with the sale... hope someone buys this crazy ride..

I put too much damn time into the car to just it out. Nothing is worth the agravation of parting it out and putting it back to stock. I have over $12,000 invested in the car and there's not chance i'm going to part it out.
