Default 2001 Pearl White GS430 with mods

This is my second GS430. My first one was stolen and I searched high and low for another pearl white GS430. This one is in perfect condition. It has the tan leather interior and 83,800 miles. When I got it, I had the local Lexus shop go over it and make sure it needed absolutely no service. I had them go ahead and change all fluids and clean the injectors. Even the Lexus dealership said this was the nicest '01 they had ever seen. While at the dealer, we had them remove the front bumper, sand it perfect and apply a new coat of paint so there were absolutely no rock chips. The paint on the car is nearly perfect. It has a few very small blemishes but, you have to be less than a foot from the car to even find them. I've had many show cars and this car is definitely very nice! It does not have the factory navigation system. I had navigation in my past 2 Lexus cars and refused to buy it this go around. It does have the nice wood steering wheel that matches the other interior trim.

Here are the modifications I've done to the car:
-35% tint
-Tanabe DF210 springs
-Drilled and slotted rotors(front and rear). I purchased Baer blanks and had a local performance shop do the drilling and slotting
-Calipers have been painted a gloss black with Duplicolor brush on paint
-AXXIS performance brake pads(front and rear)
-Added factory style rear deck spoiler
-clear marker lights
-HID style fog light bulbs(match the factory HID headlights)
-MMR HR-2 19x8.5 and 19.9.5 diamond cut wheels with 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 tires.

All modifications have less than 300 miles of use on the car. Right after purchasing the car, I changed jobs so I am out of town on travel 75% of the time. The car sits in a heated/cooled garage all the time. It has only been driven on nice days during the time I've owned it.

I'll try to post up some pics shortly. PM me for any additional information or pictures. I have tons of pics.

Asking $18,750 obo.

The car is located in Collierville, TN which is 15 minutes East of Memphis.

Thanks,
Todd

Below are the interior pictures.

I forgot to mention the car has brand new front and rear floor mats and is a Lexus pre-owned certified car. I snapped a picture of the door tag from Lexus.

Default Price Reduced

Price reduced to $18,000. If it doesn't sell in the next week, I'll keep it, add the body kit and other parts I have and just use it as a weekend cruiser.

Thanks,
Todd

Thanks!

I tried to buy your springs/shock a while back just before my first GS was stolen...

I have an L-tuned kit that will be installed.

Also, I come from a background in supercharged and turbocharged 4V Cobra mustangs. I've been working with a local shop to determine if there is a way to build a single T67 turbo kit for the GS400/430. We think it is possible so, if I keep it, we'll start on the kit by the middle of the summer. We'll see what happens.

I'm in the market for a white GS and yours is very clean. However, I'm in NY and I won't be able to see the car in person or test drive it. Can you PM me or post the VIN so I can run a Carfax?

PM me your email. I have a carfax that was faxed to me from the dealer before I bought the car.

Regards,
Todd
