Default New to the club..

Just wanted to say whats up to everyone. Been working in a lexus dealership for a couple years now and finally had an older woman bring in this 98 Gs400 and mention to my service advisor that she was selling it. Car had 74,000 miles on it, garage kept. Only a couple little dings. Everything was stock, with navigation and even the old cellular phone. Inside is mint. Brought it back to my bay and looked it over, and within a couple days got rid of my honda accord and bought this for cheap. Plan on doing a good amount of mods to the vehicle. Only thing majorly wrong is the brake booster is going bad. Other than that its a great vehicle.
Just wanted to really give a shout out to the people on these forums for taking the time to make these forums what they are. You've helped me make up my mind on the upgrades i want to do to this vehicle and helped alot of people out. Hopefully i can help out in the forums. Thanks once again guys.

Your right. Got the exhaust off the classifieds just about a month ago.
