Default Another GS Sport for sell

This is a GS300 03 Sport for sell and I maybe buy. But again, I maybe buy because have 187,xxx miles, the owner no have any idea when was the last time that change the timing belt, water pump, seals, covers gasket. Right now leak water from the pipe of the thermostact area, the front timing belt cover have a lot of oil ( I know is cam seal). So, that is the reason why I say maybe want to buy. Another reason is that the owner right now no have any idea if is the second, 3er or fourt owner of the car. But one of the previous owner take the original radio and just put a regular one, change the wood steering wheel and put a regular one and also, no have the spoiler? . The owner want $4,300.00 OBO. Is a good prices for it? I take a few pictures of the car. What do you think guys??











This is the only body damage.








Paint is just flaking only in that area.





Upssss. LOL

First of all, the car is 2003 and not 2002.

Second, I do not know what happens when I write from my cell phone and sent it after that, the cell phone change the words of place and also placed in the present and not in the past . That bothers me a lot. I need to look at the settings of the cell phone. My apologies guys.

Third, what I'm trying to say earlier is that the one in the last picture is the owner of the car and she does not know when was the last time the timing belt, water pump, cams and all the seals, valve cover gasket, spark plugs, spark plugs wires or coil was changed. She only pay to change the oil, oil filter and 4 new tires on it. Also, the 2 actuators from the rear doors not working right now. Is a good deal to buy for that prices??

That's basically my question with all these problems that is car have it and the ones that I can't found out. LOL

Where in Florida are you located? I am picking up a 02 GS today for 4500 with 150k, timing belt and water pump was done 40k miles ago. It does need a good detail and the paint doesn't seem to be in as good condition as the one you have. It aslo may need cam seals soon. However just letting you know so you can have a reference.

I saw a really good deal for a 03 GS this morning. 84k miles, clean title, seems to be in really good condition based on pics for $6100. If I didn't verbally agreed to the one I am getting now with 150k I might have took that.

Based on the SportDesign fender emblem design and the lack of smoked headlamp bezels, that GS is most certainly a 2002.

Hi again guys,

I confirm with the vin number of the car that the car is 2002 and not 2003. The owner trying to sell the car as 2003 and not as 2002. Also, she bought the car in a car auction and she don't knows anything (information) of the car. Thanks you guys for your opinions and advance on this. That helped me a lot to NOT BUY Thanks again.
