Default Back in the GS400 game after accident

Here is my latest one. Its a 99 GS400, 1 owner, no accidents and its really straight. I need to get the ball joints done asap, since i can here some creaking from the front when I pull in to driveways. Hopefully I can avoid red light runners for at least 2 months, unlike my last one.

A friend of mine owns a supercharger company so that is on my list in the future. That is of course after I go over the car and get everything else up to par.

Dealer with warrenty. 100K miles and all records. It was more than others, but with 1 owner and in the shape it is, I took the plunge.

my buddy says that he doesnt have one specifically for our car, but Im sure if we had enough interest he could get something together.

yes it is a starion in my sig. Its was my 1988, figi blue with stand alone SDS fuel management, 3" ehaust, Turbonetics t3/t4 ballbearing turbo with a bunch of other stuff. It was a fun car. Untuned it put out 305hp to the wheels. stock original block.
