Just bought me a "unicorn" GS!
Hey here is my lexus story.
All began with a 95 LS400. Crashed the car(not my fault, he ran a red light) into a jetta, bent his rear axle and spun his car around 1 and a half turns. Lexus had some light damage but I still drove away on it! They were not kidding those cars were built like tanks! Traded her in on an 98 LX470, for winter use. Went trough some crazy snow storms with it out in the east coast. Moved out to the midwest and got a beater maxima and a 94 ls400. A couple of years with different maximas, got an 02 LS430 black on Black ultra. Was looking for something more sporty so sold that and got me an 99 GS400 white/beige , loved it but sold it. Later got an 04 LS430 white on beige. Bought a 98 GS400 black on beige as a winter beater and sold that as well right around the same time as LS. Drove new GS's and was not impressed with the quality of the cars. So I got me an 04 GS430 white on black...
now if only I keep her for a while.....

haha, yea you can say that. I do not think my next car will be a lexus though. Maybe the newer LS but, other than that the quality just is not there. I do not know if anyone else can relate to me on that. Do not get me wrong they are nice looking cars, but the materials are of a cheaper caliber. Winter is right around the corner so nothing as of yet. It does need some nice 19's. I am thinking maybe some bbs lms, front tte lip, some tints, and maybe a slight drop. Nothing too crazy....

Guys how rare are these things btw? I have seen some gs300 white on black, but never a 430.
After having 2 black lex, i can say they look awesome when clean, but that lasts maybe umm a couple of hours... if that.. Was thinking of getting a black cherry one to match the fj but it was in rough shape inside...
here is some more pics of the engine.. who ever had it... took care of it

I was going to ask you that.. I've only seen GS300's as well.. I've only been able to find them on ebay and maybe yahoo autos..
I've never seen a GS430 either...
