looks like a nice find! GL!

Damn. 7.5 is real cheap. But I was never in the market for a GS3, although there were more of them out there. I didn't want to regret not getting more power. But from seeing your work, I'm sure you'd mode the engine to get more power than the GS4 anyway. Good luck!

I also agree with not lowballing, owners get pissed and will go with another guy over you if you keep pissing him off.

LOL, ya I agree I'm a low baller, but for a good reason.... I'm only 24 years old just got done paying off college. I've flipped (2) pieces of land in my time to buy the house I'm living in now. Bottom line money is tight for me, I don't have any roommates or a wife so I cant afford a high car paymant since all my money goes to my house. I want to just do this as a cash deal to get it done with. As a network admin of a fortune 500 company I'm still only making 45k a year, and I've been there 2 years already. This career doesn't pay like I thought it would Degree in CNIT FTL

I got him down to $7500 without knowing that the 90k service was done. After the test drive and low balling I left and told him I want to take a couple day to further research the car some more. At this time I found out about the 90k service that is supposed to be done. I called him up and he said that it hasn't been done. Then I just told him thanks for the info and I'll talk to you later.... I didn't try to negotiate over the phone, I prefer doing it in person instead

LOL jokester huh :P... I LOL'd when I saw that he would toss in the 18pk. Thanks for pointing out the missing two tires, at first glance it appears to be a complete package. I've allready researched the cost of (2) more 255/35ZR20's and it would cost me another $80 to get the other (2) tires.

Thanks man, Just wondering.... You said you bought your GS300 in 03/2004 when you were only 16 years old. How did you get all the money? Mommy and Daddy just messing with ya bro it's all good if your parents helped out a bit. I just kinda of take offense to the comment "new wave of people" does this not mean I'm a baller like you or is that just another way to say I'm medium to low class? If so you have some ego problems

True, it would be pretty bad to **** him off and lose out on this deal, but from talking with the guy person to person he inst showing any signs of being intimidated or being pushed to hard with our negotiation. I agree I've seen some really fast GS3's out there and have been pricing out my future upgrades already, lol even though I don't have the car in my garage just yet


I'm going to go ahead and post up my other wheel choices in this thread.

Please make sure to re-visit this post to give your opinion. Thanks for all the feedback.

There's really nothing up on the PHX craigslist that is any decent. I may have to wait, but in the mean time I will check ebay and the classifieds section of the lexus forums.

I'm really looking for a nice staggered setup with the 20x10 in the rear with a nice 4" lip, I've got a freind in a body shop and he said he has the tools to "roll the fenders".

Here is what is up there now...

Foose $1600 20.8.5" True Chrome Lip not polished and black center, tires on the small side but should work well with The Tanabe DF210 springs...




I'll post some better choices pretty soon. Also if you know of some clean 20's post them up for me. Thanks![/COLOR][/B]

Thats a deal on the car..but for the wheels..nah to much chrome..but its what you like..good luck

Ya I agree, I'm trying to get away from the Big Bling and some classy looking luxory wheels, but it looks like it's gonna cost me. Your 20x8.5 Luxe LX2 wheels are very clean I like how the silver center match's your paint. Is that a chrome or polished lip? I prefer chrome.

Have you guys seen any wheels with the Lexus Pearl White center and a Chrome lip? I know you can have a body shop color match the center, but I'm afraid of chipping.

I do have a connection for sevas wheels, but it's gonna be in the $2k range. What do you guys think about this selection...

I like the Sevas S-10 with white center and chrome lip, are these classy or trashy?



Below is a link to there entire line of wheels...

(about 100 pics of Sevas wheels on Lexus's)

Please take a moment to review the wheels and let me know what style you like the best and I will request a quote through my hookup...

sevvas are cracking in half i would stay away from them. When you get the car i would shop around for the wheels just search the photoshop forum and you will see alot of different pics with all kinds of wheels that seize photoshopped. and checkout d2's website he has plenty of wheels at a good price

I'm still on the search for some better wheels, phx-craigslist doesnt have much.

I was originally planing on getting a 03 BMW 740 and was browsing the forums and I also heard about the sevas s-10 having issues balancing. I believe they fixed the issue, but who knows.

Welcome, sounds like you will be a welcome addition to CL. I personally would get the car and do a lot of research before you start springing for mods. I learned the hardway that you need to do it the way you want it the first time, even if it means holding off for a while. Look at the pics of different cars and the look that you want to go for the GS is a very versatile car, it's one of the few that can project any image that you want.
