Talking 1998 gs400 happy new owner

Hey guys I'm new to 2gs forum, I used to have an sc300 and I'm mostly a lurker. The gs is cinnabar red and is all stock. She has 142k on the clock and all options work perfectly besides backlight on the radio. Power steering pump appears to be slightly leaking, no major drips yet. Plan to replace soon along with timing belt and water pump, etc. an all normal services (oil change, air and cabin filter, sparks) any other maintenance recommendations from you long time gs400 owners? Trying to figure out how to post pics.

Post pics man and yeah other than the belts, pump and plugs you should be good. I suggest you do the front suspension as well like balljoints, bushings etc.

Thanks! Happy to be a new member, I would like to keep her in good running shape. Then proceed to upgrades eventually. But no hurry for that yet, still enjoying the new purchase.

Sweet car man congrats on the new car. I went from an Es300 to the Gs and I couldn't be happier.

Well I have been a member for a few years (like I said had an sc300) but not much posting. I am hoping to change that somewhat with the GS. But I am new to 2gs forum.

Thanks a lot! @seize I am hoping to keep it that way.

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm very much in love with the look myself. Seems very timeless to me, and it's in nice shape for 16 years old.
