I got a Service history check on another 99 GS400.

-98 Oil Change
-Jan 99 Door Latch replace, 10,000 mile service
-May 99 Evaporation system upgrade
-July 99 15,000 service
-May 2002 Battery Replace, Front Door Locks Replaced
-Sep 2004- Service campaign, complaint with Brakes(replaced else where i believe), Oil filter change, shimmy- Wheels bent, shock absorber exhaust pipes hitting the rear of the vehicle


^^Is this history a cause for alarm? The vehicle is at 67,922

I'd say 400 no doubt...a toyota motor with 117,000 miles is nothing. welcome

About your last post, not sure what it means...was it in an accident? or is the "shimmy" just the normal 60mph thing we almost all get?

I used to have a 94 GS300 now have a 98 GS400. I enjoy the power of the gs4 a lot more....even though i still miss my old gs3. Go with the gs400.

I got a autocheck run on both of the 400's and some interesting things came up. One was stolen, both where lease and lein, one was Repossessed, Emission/Safety Inspection, Duplicate Title Record, etc. And the 2nd gs400 the report say there was no odometer tampering, but yet it shows 1/04(79614) and 4/04(79300)

GeorgeGS4: I don't know if it was in a accident(first thing that in my mind), and the lady didn't know either. She said there is this machine that can tell(but she don't know much about cars).

a carfax report should be able to tell you if it's been in an accident. i'd try that. good luck with whatever you decide.
