About a Week ago I saw Spectre Blue GS430 on the Freeway. Was this just a Rebadged GS400? I'm not sure of the Year.

it can't be gs430 if it's spectra blue. the gs430 has another kind of blue, darker that it

I know someone that has a 99 300, and he put a 430 badge on it

To add insult to injury, he still has the 98-00 tails

Yeah, AutoTrader is the best place to look- that's where I found mine.

Spectra Blue is pretty hard to find, especially in a 2000 model- my car (a 2000 GS400) was originally a special order- most of them have tan interiors, mine has grey (which I preferred). Took me a few months to find one, but it paid off- the car is fantastic!
