Default New GS 400 Lexus Owner

Whats up everyone!? I just bought my first Lexus GS 400, I've wanted one of these since high school and finally bought one today. Let me know what you think and where do I begin, I will use the search button before I ask anymore questions! LOL

Welcome to CL. Very clean GS I must say. I'm diggin' it.

I would say though unless you're planning on dropping and picking up some nice 19's very soon that i'd pick up a set of 01+ GS wheels and slap those on for the time being. Just my 2 cents, it looks good how it is atm, but would look awesome with some GS wheels on it.

That's a fantastic looking car you've got there. What year is it? How many miles?

I'm glad to hear that new wheels are on the to-do list.

Okay it does have 203K BUT before everyone freaks out lol it was a one owner car, owned by the dealership owners wife, spotless carfax, no accidents, and has been serviced at the lexus dealership since the first oil change with all related documents to prove! Also has a bunch of new parts installed prior to trade in for preventive maintenance, and brand new tires! They were asking $8000 I got it for $6200 cash, out the door, including tax, tags and title. And the car is honestly as clean as the pictures look. How did I do? Honestly...

Ans: nice choice and now... all you have to do drive until the wheels fall off and aim for million miles mark like those Honda websites have gun viral with. I plan to drive mine til i reach 1/2 million miles at least and save lots of hard earned money.
