What's up guys, new to the forum and figured I'd introduce myself. My name is Justin and I've recently picked up a 1998 GS300 Imperial Jade Mica exterior Tan interior. I bought the car from the original owner and man was this thing taken care of meticulously. Bought it from our local dealer and had all her service records from the same dealer. Plan to change the car up a little to put my mark on it. Going with coilovers, 19" 2013 GS350 F Sport Hyper Silver wheels, TTE front lip and roof spoiler. Also, I'm going to start tinkering with a set of RCF headlamps I picked up and seeing what I can make fit inside the old GS lamps. I'm excited to tinker with this old beaut and can't wait to see her when she's finished.
You can put a million miles on these machines and they never age, yet this one aged gracefully, you scored on this one! As long as you paid less for it.
Man that's a nice pickup !!!!! !!!!! Enjoy it and please post pics of the mods as you go bro. Really nice condition it's in. Love seeing 2GS cars that have aged so wonderfully as this one. If it was me, I wouldn't do a thing to it. Nice and stock ..... But hey, I really enjoy 100% OEM cars.... Enjoy it bro and #GODBLESS
Thanks for the kind words guys! I look forward to giving her a new look. As stated above, I purchased the vehicle from the original owner, not a dealer. I work for Lexus Collision Center of Tampa bay. The Original owner brought the vehicle in wanting a price quote on refinishing her trunk spoiler and roof moldings. I absolutely fell in love with this car. Even considering I look at around 40 different Lexus vehicles a day. After about two weeks of bugging her I was able to purchase the car from her and got her put in a brand new GS. Win, win for the both of us. I'd rather not disclose what I paid, although it was under $2,000.
With that many miles even the GS isn't a good idea to purchase but yours qualifies as a real cream puff considering its one owner and lady owned at that which almost guarantees it wasn't driven as hard. I wonder if it's still on the original tranny, that's amazing to see a car with so many miles still running great, you just CANT kill these cars! You must be a good talker though considering she came to fix her car and you convinced her to get a new one LOL

@DMPesso, from the records she has given me, it looks like the tranny, timing belt, radiator, water pump and head gasket has been changed all within the last 2 years. All of these which have been replaced by the dealer I work for. The lady has done everything our dealer has told her to the car. She bought it for herself when she turned 40 years old. She stated she wanted to wait until her 60th birthday to buy another one but she really appreciated the fact that I liked the vehicle and wanted it so much so finally decided to sell it to me. It definitely took a ton of persuasion on my end. I'm very confident that I got a good buy. Especially considering I have access to all her service records and everything has been done and on time every time.
The vehicle even came with the 2 sets of original keys, valet key, 2 6 cd changer cartridges and the original sticker price was still in the glove box.
Andddd just a few shots of a couple other of my projects I'm in the middle of. A 1991 C1500 stepside that I've done virtually everything on or am doing. Stripped the truck inside and out, 10" c notch in the rear, slam specialties bags and a full accuride air ride set up. The other is a 1975 Harley Davidson Shovelhead that I'm doing a ground up build on. Fresh powder and paint on everything and all new parts. I guess you can say I know my way around a garage
