Default New GS430 owner...

Hey guys, just sending you all a happy "thank you" for all the help and tips that have enabled me to finally pull the trigger on a purchase.

Today I paid $22.8 for a '02 GS430 in Silver with black interior. The usual appointments of course, navi, heated seats, etc. This car is really really clean with 50k miles (exactly).

I'll post some pics this week when I get time. And then I'll post some pics once the G-Spiders arrive (yummy yummy).

In the meantime, I'll be reading the entire manual from Lexus.

Stay tuned for pics.

Is this really what fully loaded 02 GS430s with average miles are going for?!?!?!?!?

By the way, congrats on the car and welcome to CL.

I hope not. I paid $5k more than that for an '02 silver/black ML/Nav with 39K a week ago. Regardless, sweet deal!

Even that sounds like a great deal to me. I've been keeping an eye on the asking prices of GS's around here, and I haven't seen anything in this vicinity. Now granted, asking prices are just that, but these prices still seem really low to me.

Talking Welcome Darin!

Congrats and welcome to the family. Hopefully you can make it to EOS v5 for formal introductions. What part of Cali. are you from?

-Will
Btw, any modding plans yet? You can get some good ideas if you can make it to EOS.
