Default Thinking about buying...

A 1999 GS300 Gold/Tan (not my favorite color combo) but it only has 29,000 miles!!!

It's a one owner and has good service records.

It is still 11 years old. Being that old I was wondering if there are components that I should look closely at or that might wear due to age more than mileage.

Also, I'm thinking if I could get it for 10 grand or less, that'd be a steal...right?

My 2001 gs3 only has 40k miles. The only things that it needs as of right now are new bushings in the front and a new belt. Both repairs can be done at a fair price. Make sure you get the carfax, and you may even want to do a pre purchase inspection.

thanks for the response.

what belt do you need to replace? and the carfax is clean.


additionally, will the newer lexus NAV discs work in this older nav system.

Welcome to CL... Sounds like a great low mileage GS.

No. The older systems are not dvd systems.
