All this talk of PROVEN high mileage is making me want another GS :-).. I seen this 98 GS400 on CraigsList by my area with 131k on the odometer. Only asking for $4300. It looks in bone stock condition. Yellowish fading lights and all. Perfect backup, daily driver car. Choices choices choices!!

What color? $4300 is good value if car has good maintenance history.

If I were you, I'd consider buying that. Have it checked out by a trusted mechanic first though.

I was wrong guys. The car is priced at $3,400!!! Wow!! Even with a leak of ANY sort, it's still worth the price IMO. Here's the link so you guys can see it.. it's Champaign color/tan.

Hmm, seems too good to be true. I'm not a fan of that color, but that's just me. Have it checked out by a mechanic and if its mostly ok, I'd go for it.

If only the suspension had as much longevity as the engine

Anyways, at the end of the day both are high quality engines :-)
The 2 extra V's will keep it humming for a little while longer...

Now I have no leaks with new parts.
Your good for another 100k... money well spent.
