Smile Would you buy another gs? I would

I am asking this because i have my 02GS300 for 3 years now bought it with
50k , now it has 190k and still running great.
The tranny was banging in gears from 1-2 and the local dealer replaced the tranny 4 times and still bang in gears, then i was told i needed a new TB which was $1600, i told them H### no.
Took the car home clean the TB and replaced the battery and it's been good for the last 2 years.
So i will definetly buy another GS for sure.

How is yours doing? would you buy another one in the future?
Thanks.

I wish I had bought one earlier. To answer your question, I would definitely buy another one. One to drive daily and one to mod.

Would I? I have! 3 in fact. I've had a 98 GS3, 00 GS3 Plat. and now 02 GS3. Although having driven the competition I can say the GS falls WAY short in the "performance" category (stock), you can't beat the 95% reliability track record these cars have!

Wrecked my GS 400, bought a GS 430. I love both. It never was a question to not get another one. Love the 3GSh as well and plan on a 4GS F if they make one.

Would love to buy a black 1GS to complete the deal

Definitely. Being a family guy now my Soarers just don't cut it as practical. I'm tempted to mod my late 01 but it's in too clean to pull apart lol. If anything i'd get a pre 00 and do a V300 conversion and give the late model to the wifey (unless we find a decently priced IS250 with the right colour combo and options)
