Just as the title says.

Needs realignment b/c I was too poor to do it last tires I put on it.. putting in cheapest oil I can get.

Runs like a beauty.

Ask me anything.

Sorry but is this a post where we ask you for questions based on your ride because you are selling? Or is this a thread where we ask you questions about the GS in general because you have had extensive experience with one?

I would assume you would clean the chrome wheels the same way you would clean alloys.Soap and water!

Have you changed out the fluids lately? Power steering, transmission etc. I have a 01 GS430 with 190k.

I assume(?) this isn't typical and that the lifespan for a GS430 transmission is longer than 160k. What kind of maintenance were you doing on the transmission?
