Sold as is lexus gs300
I have a pearl white gs300 with 150 on the body. The engine have 68k just swapped in sept.
VIN# JT8BD68S2W0042439
The Goods:
Still runs
- Everything in the car is running windows ac heater etc.
-4 brand new tires 700 bucks
-Alpine double din w200
-kickers subs
-2 amps alpine and kicker
-new timing belt
-and a lot of newer parts. I will update later when i get my receipts all together.
The bads:
- check engine light( shop couldn't figure out the problem.
- damages on front bumper. rear bumper paint crack, left fender rusting or was it right forgot.
- steering wheel shakes after 75+ dont know why.
- spoiler lights, some of the leds are out
- hood does not shut all the way, something is blocking it i'm not sure what. It might be the bumper.
-Leather interior is in fair condition. The rear passenger area is pretty clean.
- Things that i would reconsider replacing are the floor mats. Absolutely filthy.
Here are some past pictures.
Here are my past pictures of the car. This is probably 5 years ago when it was in great condition.
As you can see, my stereo got jacked so i got a double din installed now. I can take a picture of it later. The shop did a lazy *** job on the custom bezel. They used wood to make a custom bezel because they didnt have the bezel for my car. But you could easily get a new bezel online for 20 bucks and make it look clean again. I also have a ps2 in the glove box. It is annoying because that was a bad spot to install it since the door will not close when it is in use. I dont use it anyways so it doesn't bother me. You get a ps2 with the car =] The wheel came off because the ball joint broke. This was a common thing for the 98 gs300 but it got fixed and this happened 2 years ago.
There was no modification done to the car except the audio.
One of my amps are out and as i was taking it out, i forgot to unplug the battery so the power wire for the amp kinda burnt a hole on the trunk carpet DOH!
Any questions please call me at 781 298 1149

New update
The steering wheel does not shake anymore. I thought it still did but i guess the shop fixed it. I went up to 100mph. Feels stable.
Check engine light goes on and off so does some of the other lights.
Driver side window has scratches due to rock debris in the edges -_-
I can part out the amps double din, subwoofers, ps2. and take off 500.

Pics to 717motors@gmail.com. Interested, price seems a little high considering condition, but I may be thinking that it is worse than it is.
