My GS300 Sport sits around full time in the Garage. the od reads 9200 miles. i purchased this new off the lot back in Nov 2002 with 20 miles on the od. i have changed the oil and filter 2x. the anti freeze was replaced once back in 06 at 6000 miles, just did the trany fluid an anti freezse fluid as well as the brake fluid replacement. i am faced with the timing belt an serpentine belt replacement. the manual states what 60,000 or 6 years? should i wait another century and replace them?
they both look to new to replace. no cracks or wrinkles.

The only cars I could think of that would get that treatment around 2002-2003 would be a BMW M5, E55 Amg, Audi Rs6, Corvette or Honda S2000 You should test the waters on Ebay and see what it would go for. Maybe another enthusist will pay top dollar for it.

what you didn't state is if your usage of the car is going to change.
If it's just going to sit in the garage for another 10years, without usage, why bother spending money on it. Say that service costs $3000. If you put 1000miles on it, that's $3/mile just for the maintenance.

What a waste of a car just sitting in a garage costing you money. If you have that much money to spend how bout you try VIP'n it out.
I don't always practice the cardinal law: "don't fit it until its broken", but rather, proactive maintenance. You usage doesn't even warrant expenditure. Timing belt?? really !! That's a 90K maintenance interval procedure.
Sorry man, but you can't take the car with you to heaven.

As a first time Lexus buyer, I've seen a Silver on Black 04 Gs300 for sale back in April 2013 with 38,000 miles on it. I couldn't believe the seller wanted 17,000 for it. Brand new looking, no dents, scratches, dust, rust, the headlights are still clear, engine was in showroom condition. It was like looking at a Museum item. He said if I bought it, I would have to tow it and change all fluids and belts, brakes, in this thing, and it needed a battery. Then I found another Silver on Black 02 300 in a dealership with 68,000 miles and they wanted 12,000 for it, another garage kept car but it had dealer plates on it. Now i've found some abused/neglected ones but not getting into that. I finally found a brand new equivalent 300 inside and out with 145k for a $1 under 6,000 
. Hopefully, I can find a brand new equivalent Silver on Black 04-05 430 for my new daily one day(currently saving). But I know there's a whole lot more low mileage GS's out there sitting around untouched.
Sorry for the story guys, it was a lovely experience I never thought I would see something so great.
