Default GS400 - New owner

Hey all,

I read these forums a lot before buying, thanks for the info on the lower ball joints!!!
Anyway, just got a very clean 98 GS400 in silver/black and love it.


******************************
Need to update the data on G & H Auto Group (http://www.ghautogroup.com) - they are not great, in fact liars..

Just as a warning to anyone in Dallas, they will lie to you to sell a car.

In my Case I asked the owner Glenn (The G in G&H) multiple times about the ball joints and he insisted that they had been replaced over and over. I had read here about the GS series before shopping and learned of the ball joint issues.

As clean as the car was I believed him, when they failed less than 3,000 miles later he did not return calls, emails, etc.

I guess expected too much from a used car salesman...

******************************

Here are a few pics from the dealers site:

Before you buy anything for it run it by the forum because if you buy something not up to par you will get owned.Any ways look's nice.
