Default New GS430 purchase!
I wasnt really looking to purchase a car at all, but I stumbled upon a GS430 I couldnt pass up on. Its a 2001 GS430 Black on Black with all options in excellent condition one owner. Now the real shocker is that it has 12500 miles on it, yes that is correct! The car has been stored in a garage for all of its life. Ill follow up this post with some pics soon!

Very nice, congrats. Waiting for an endless amount of people to steal your thunder though and tell you you need to replace everything rubber and it'll cost you a fortune.

It always boggles my mind how someone could buy a car like that brand new and basically not drive it for almost 15 years.

I thought I was lucky getting a 1 owner with under 100k... not even close to 12.5k though. Jealous!

Wow. Nice find! I can honestly say that if I encountered a super low miles GS430 I would be VERY tempted to buy it.
