Thumbs up Back with another one

I was previously active on CL years ago when I bought my 97 SC300, then moved to a 135i, crashed that - then took the family 02 GS300 to 320,000 miles before trading it in for a beautiful blue onyx pearl on black 03 GS430 with 108k. The plan was to find something that will last like the 02 GS3 did and use it as my daily while I find myself another 135i, but this thing is sweet. I'm in no rush. I saw some posts on the 03 gs430s with this color combo that it might be rare. Anyone know how many were made?

Congrats, that is one nice ride. I noticed the price of the GS 430 was starting to go up on Autotrader so I'm sure you can get what you paid for it a few years from now. That's if you decide to sell it

Thank you - Very happy I pulled the trigger. 1 owner, no accidents - timing belt and water pump done 18K ago. Got a full inspection from Bridgewater Lexus and even they were impressed. Only thing they could tell me was to do the brakes in 10-15K miles. Bought it from Select Auto Group in PA, I would recommend this place to anyone.

Silly assumption. This isn't a classic car; this model or pretty much any model appreciates in value unless it's an American classic muscle car.
