Default Hey guys, new here

I just recently picked up a 2000 Lexus GS300 Platinum series, I'm proud to say that I'm the second owner of this car. It has been well maintained with 145k miles on it and still runs very strong. Nice to meet you guys.

2k model? Has the ball joints been changed?? If not, THAT would be the first thing beside a drop.

@Shoneeko - Nah I don't live in Hercules, I live in San Rafael.
@GokuSSJ3 - I believe the ball joints haven't been changed recently but it's not making any funny noise and the steering is still smooth.

Welcome. Now what makes a gs a platinum edition??

I bought my 2000 gs3 with 145k a year and half ago. It has 186k today. I am also the second owner. Ball joints are something you will want to look at replacing. I have had to replace ball joints tie rods and castor bushing in the past month and half.
