Went to look at a 2000 GS400 and it had a wood stearing wheel.... And didnt have the same design as my other 2000 GS300.... also didnt have E-Shift on it...


Dont they all come w/ it?

 

no way, it HAS to be a GS430 unless the guy modded the hell out of the car. gs400 did NOT come with wood steering wheel at all, only gs430 comes with that option. gs400 has e-shift, gs430 doesn't

 

Look

That steering wheel has definitely been switched out. Looks like a steering wheel from '9x-200X(?) LS.

 

that's not even the gs steering wheel at all, looks like an LS steering wheel? and definitely not a recent yrs ls steering wheel

 

So what do you think i should do? cause im suposed to be buying it...

 

Does the LS400 wooden steering wheels fit a GS?

 

That is a LS 400 steering wheel. GS cars have true sports sedan 3 spoke steering wheels.

ChoppinLex, u don't need to buy that car with the wrong steering wheel. The Air bag won't work either and if it does it is the wrong size airbag.
You need to show that a GS steering wheel. Here. This is from the GS 300 SD. That is a GS steering wheel.
98-00 GS did not have a wood wheel option, all leather.

 

that car dose have e-shift look closly at the pic of the inside of the car with the shifter in it you can see the red or orange M on the shifter.

 

actually tis' hard to say. that's a ls400/430 steering wheel ( i think it's a ls400 steering wheel), and also the air bag. if the connector is the same then the system would work just fine, not a problem at all

but then you lose the e shift function, that's a minus for sure

 

and also look at the pic of the gauges you can clearly see the M for the e- shift this guy recked his car and just got caught up

 

he just changed to a LS steering wheel that's all

 

It might work but the airbag size may be different, the delay may be different in release and the car is not built for that steering wheel. It may collapse in the wrong position and hurt the legs or face.

I say switch it.

 

so what should i do?

 

Tell him u want the original GS steering wheel that goes with the car or a discount for the wheel so u can buy one. Get a price for a GS steering wheel from a dealer and tell him take off the price for the wheel and installation.

BTW, tampering with Airbags is illegal so I do hope it works.
