Default First GS

Hi everyone,

I'm fairly new to this forum (been a member of rennlist and mbworld for quite some time now). After considering several cars to replace my wifes 04 RX330, we finally chose the 3rd Gen GS as the successor. The competition included BMW 545i, MB E500, and Infiniti M45. All these cars had their strengths and weaknesses, but we were particularly taken by the smoothness and agility of our GS430. IMHO, # for # the best car in this 50s-60s price range.

Took delivery of our GS this past Saturday @ Tustin Lexus, CA.

1. GS430
2. RWD
3. Flint Mica
4. Stock 18s (for now)
5. Spoiler
6. Ash
7. Tustin Lexus, Southern CA
8. Picked up on June 4, 2006

So far only tinted windows (medium). Im looking into 20" HRE 542R or Lowenhart LD5 at the moment. Should be making my decision anytime now. Will post some pics as soon as I can.

Guess I'm officially a member of CL now huh?

Thanks again to Club Lexus and all of its members for providing me with priceless information and knowledge prior to making my purchase.

-Alan

Oops...just noticed that my pickup date was June of 2006. Luckily, that was just a typo.

Here are some pics of the BEFORE product. Will post some more as soon as wheels come in and are installed.

GS300 AWD Glacier/Ash w/ ML/NAV or GS300 RWD Flint/Ash w/ ML/NAV, picking one of these up tommorrow. Not sure which color I will like as I haven't seen either but I will be driving one of them home.

Update: I pick up the GS300 RWD Flint/Ash, got a great deal too, $3,100 off MSRP..........
