I like those wheels. Are they stock or other OEM?

Check that all recalls have been completed.

This and get the transmission fluid changed out if it has not been done.

Monitor the engine oil consumption by checking the dipstick weekly for a month or so to see what kind of loss you have. These cars use up some oil.

Prepare yourself for lots of fun, little noises throughout the interior. People usually fix this by shoving bits of black felt into the crevasses. Let's see.... Tire wear is another issue a lot of people have. Some people are getting under 20k on a set of tires. Fixed mine by having a fancy-pants alignment shop install some shims - raised the overall height of the car about 1/3", but that's a small price to pay for another 15k+ out of a set of tires. Other than those an what everybody else said, they're awesome cars! Enjoy it.

Check to see if the water pump has been changed out also.

Nice purchase, the car looks like it was well taken cared of.

I would also like to know if my GS300 got the recall work done.

This is the Service History; but I'm not sure what it would say if it had the recall done. Could someone help me out? Thanks!

You guys can call your local dealerships as well. They are more than happy to check for you because then you can come in and get sold on additional services.

If it hasn't been done in the past 60-70K, replace the water pump.
