Happy to be a GS owner again
Hi everyone. So happy to be back to owning a GS again. My 99 GS4 was my favorite car, but had to sell it to do other things in life. AKA, got engaged, had a kid, bought a house 
But found this gem at a used car dealer here in MA and couldn't pass it up for the price.
It's a 2005 GS430. I really wanted a second gen, and since this was the last year they made them, it was the newest I was going to find. All options including ML sound, NAVI, wood steering, etc. Currently has 120,000 on the clock.
Aside from needing a good detail, she's mechanically sound. Since buying, I took off the faded clear bra, painted the rock-chipped front grille, tinted windows and tails and removed the rear badges. Look forward to many years of modding, driving, and being a part of the boards again!

Appointment for the detail is next Tuesday haha
And I may end up just re-leathering the current armrest, Lexus wants like $300 for one from them
Thanks for all the kind words guys, and yea, nothing compares to the ride. Even with over 100,000 on it, still rides like a dream. Even the fiance has noticed
