Well, Back in June my GS was totaled. I was rear ended coming home from work. Pissed but it was a blessing. Sold off some parts I knew I would not use and was on the fence about what to get next.
I really was looking to get a Audi S4 or even an SRT8 Magnum. But then set my mind on searching for a 03 SportDesign, 99 GS400, or GS430. I wanted black interior, so my options were limited. I ended up finding four SD's for sale locally. One white/saddle, two black/saddle and silver/silver GS430.
I really was interested in the the GS430 but the body had some wear and the navi was on the fritz. Checked out the white/saddle 03 and in person did not like the color combo.
Weird but when I saw it in person I just didn't like it. Plus, the front and rear bumpers were resprayed poorly.
The black on saddle was listed for sale on here, but was sold before I could purchase it. I ended up picking up a Black/saddle 03 SD.
Modest modification, 19's coils, basic maintenance, done. Me and my wife just brought a house.

The pearl white on the 98-00 GS's pops more than crystal white. The white/saddle GS had some wear all around. Notable the botched front and rear respray on the bumpers and the Dr. seat was "fixed" to hide a tear.
The onyx/saddle I brought interior was near mint. Headlights, front and rear bumpers not a scratch.
IMO, The saddle pops on onyx, and graphite grey SD's.

I'm on megan ez. Anyone on megans did you have a hard time aligning? My drop is pretty conservative. Shop told me that the camber is maxed out. They were able to get the toe within spec. But the camber is -2.2 all around.
