Default My "new" 1999 Onyx Black GS400
What's up everyone. My name is Jay and I am from Mamaroneck, NY As most of you have read in my first thread, I was on the hunt for a V8 powered GS for a little while. I found one but the owner was super shady. Luckily the next day while browsing craigslist I stumbled upon this one owner car with no accidents. It has black interior, premium package and 115k on the clock. I need to replace the shocks as they are on the way out. Other than that car is top notch. It has less road noise than our 2008 RDX! I am truly a believer of Lexus quality. I look forward to learning from this board and also giving back where I can. Here are some pics...

The dealer wanted 8680. I got him down to 8185 with a little bargaining. Cash is king! I think I got a good deal as they retail for about 10k in this shape.

welcome to CL! looks like your hunt paid off well! i should have searched more when i bought my gs3 4years ago.

For local meets check out NELOC or NorthEast sections in the regional part of these awesome boards.
