I would personally keep looking. I like the sunroof versions because I use mine daily and it seems like you're pretty much going to need all new bushings in the car in the future. I think for a few hundred dollars more you might find a much nicer example, or even something cheaper.

I think its in good shape. They all have upper control arm issues with higher miles and all the bushings are bad. My first GS was a sunroof and I never used it, just replaced it since it was cracked. My current GS is no sunroof and I'm fine with it as I'm tall and it has extra headroom. The window trim is in good shape which is rare. Hard to say without interior pics though.

Why would he post other peoples rides? To a buyer that would be confusing to me. Which one is his? Is he claiming that the Liberty VIP 1GS is his or...you know what i mean?

Is he a member on the forum?

where do you see liberty vip 1gs? they do not have one period. Obviously his is the beat to crap gold one, the one thats grey with traffic starts is Erikas its now a dark purple colored on air ,the flat black one is one of her friends they are based out of Hawai and the group is called EMPIREVIP. The 2 tone white one is obviously from japan.

He is posting what it could look like. Kinda gives inspiration if that's what you're looking for. Id never do it since I know think he beat the crap out of it thinking its a racecar or something.

I'd get it if it was my only project car. The problems he listed are minor but the fact that he has no engine bay pics kinda worries me. The body is nice and the Rear end with the GS400 badge looks pretty nice. $1400 is a lil much though. The front needs a bad paint job and like he mentioned, there's a dent on the front quarter panel. I'd offer $1000 and go no higher then $1200.
