I saw this 99gs300, 1 owner, 130k miles, all maint. records...for sale at a local Toyota dealership....I want this car for a daily driver...and keep my nice car at home.....Any major problems with GS that I have to look for when car is over 100k miles? Will this car make it to 250k miles?

without seeing and inspecting the car in person, I can't tell you for certain. I would say thought make sure the 90k mile service is done.

outside of that, my 01 has 134k and it runs like a champ. You can easily get 300k-400k miles out of these cars with standard maintenance (2nd timing belt at 160-180).

agreed with jcat, make sure all the major stuffs is done, ie..t-belt, h2o pump, etc. BC you don't want to dealt with after you'd already made the purchase..Happy shopping...
