Hello, I am new here. I just purchased a 2001 GS430. I have been looking at Lexus for a while and was set on an IS 300 until my wife found a 98 GS400 for $9995. The only downside to that one was 190k miles. I ended up getting this 01 for a steal.

I am glad I stumbled on this site, have found many useful write-ups and will be putting them to use soon. As for mods, dont have any and not sure if I want to do anything to it right now. I have a civic for the past 6 years and ready for something else.

I already have some issues with this one, just the door actuators for the drivers door and the rear passenger door. Was wondering if yo guys know of any websites similar to Majestic Honda that sell OEM parts.

Here is a pic for you guys,sorry for the quality all i had was my camera phone

Welcome.

For some of the best price on OEM and aftermarket parts, we have vendors here that may help you out.

Contact Carson Toyota for your door lock actuator. Ask them if they can get it for you at Group buy price. It's a very expensive repair, but it's one of the very few things that actually go wrong in our cars
