If I don't get the car it will goto a dealer to be sold for twice as much.
Couple of questions, what should I look for on this car? What repairs or maintenance should I expect with this mileage? Any concerns for suspension wear? Any advice or comments is greatly appreciated. PS I am very mechanical and do all the work on my Ls, but idk if these cars are diy friendly.
can you confirm the color combo of this car?

I say in 15 years a 2006 GS up on blocks in the front yard surrounded by dog houses, empty Pabst Blue Ribbon cans, and a barcalounger will be a common sight.

I have to say, $3k is a steal, I'd buy it too just so I could use it for spare parts or do a swap on my own .

That's only $2k more than a regular car's shell....

You could definitely buy it and bank off the parts in that car alone LOL!

agreed. if you can salvage parts from it, it would be a perfect parts car.

also those codes could be from a bad gas cap too, that throws the cel and vsc light

If you part it out I need to get 2 of those windows pillar things on the passenger side. They make chrome ones but my black ones have rock chips and show showing chrome in the black. will also take the the right seat belt holder on passenger side. Driver side floor mat, maybe a few more things
