CA FS: 95 LEXUS GS300 Black VIP 1GS w/ UAS Airbags + AccuAir, 19" Work, Ceramic Tint
I'm putting up my Lexus 1GS for sale. One of the nicest 1st Gen GS' that you will ever find, and these things are becoming more rare by the day--let alone a clean one.
Long story short... I bought this car bone stock back in November 2009 for about $5,000. I picked up the cleanest 1GS I could find. After almost a year and over $15K in mods, this is the end result. I bought the car with 120K miles on it, and after almost two years, there's only 123K miles on the clock--most of which were before the mods.
Cosmetically and mechanically, this car is in great condition. Engine runs smooth, A/C blows ice cold air, working cupholders, everything works. This car is ALWAYS garaged and is almost never driven. It's been sitting in a warehouse for over a year.
I had a custom sound system installed, but just removed it all to lower the price down to $12K. My mods alone cost me well over this. I'm not willing to part out the car.
Year: 1995
Make: Lexus
Model: GS300
Mileage: 123,XXX
Price: $12,000

Finding parts for this car isn't easy, I had to order stuff from all over the world. The long wait and import taxes didn't help much either. Here are all the mods I could think of:
Exterior / Lighting:
- New Paint (OEM Black Onyx)
- JDM Aristo 3-pc. Spoiler (imported from Australia)
- JDM Aristo Headlights ("cleared" out)
- JDM Aristo 3-pc. Taillights
- JDM Aristo Front Hood Grill (imported from Australia)
- JDM Aristo Front Strut Tower Bar (imported from Australia)
- JDM Aristo Window Visors (imported from Japan)
- 6000K HID Low Beams
- 30% Huper Optik Ceramic Tint (best window tint period)
- Lexus Chrome 3D License Plate Frame
Wheels / Tires:
- Work Varianza D3S Wheels
* Machine Silver Polish (MSP) w/ Polished Step-Lip
* 19x9 +20 / 19x10 +15
- Falken FK452 Tires (225/35 and 235/35) w/ 90% tread
Suspension / Performance:
- UAS Air Suspension System (dual tanks & dual compressors)
- AccuAir Air Management System
- Tein CruiseMaster CS Coilover Kit (airbags-over-coils)
- UAS Professional Air Install (wanted it done right)
- Zee's JDM/VIP Dual Muffler System for JZS147 (not universal, nearly impossible to find now)
Interior / I.C.E.:
- Viper 5902 Security System w/ Remote Start
- Kinetik KHC1200 1200W Power Cell Battery
- 2 x Dynamat 10455 Xtreme Bulk Paks (72 sq. ft.)
- Interior Xenon Light Kit (still haven't installed all the bulbs, but they're included)
- Custom Heated Front Seats
- OEM Replacement Cupholders (brand new, and actually works)
- Black Floormats (OEM mats are no longer available)
- Front Hood Dampeners
- Rear Trunk Dampeners
- Cabin Air Filter

I removed the custom audio system and replaced it back to stock. This allowed me to lower my selling price to $12,000.
Also, here's a link to some more photos:

And yeah... blood, sweat, and tears for sure.
Thank you sir. I've always had a thing for these 1GS myself. I was fortunate enough to pick one up and build it almost exactly the way I want it.
Appreciate the bump.
Yeah, it's a shame indeed.
