Default FS: 2001 Lexus gs430 very clean and maintained..must look

Up for sale is my 2001 lexus gs430. It has just over 150k on it and I purchased it a little over 8 years ago with 112k on it. Never had an issue with this car. Throughout my ownership the biggest things ive had to do was fix an exhaust leak and change out the knock sensors. Other than that it was simple maintenance such as oil changes and filling it up with gas. Ive been a long time forum member and ive done everything on the car by myself or with the help of my brother. During the whole time that I owned this car I worked for a toyota/lexus dealer so any parts that have been changed such as the timing belt was all oem toyota parts. No expenses spared. Always used royal purple oils and either rp filters or oem toyota ones. The car is slightly modified and I would like to sell it as is to the right buyer. If I dont find the right buyer who wants the car as is ill decide to put it back to stock and sell it that way. Now for the modifications.

Exterior
-Replica admiration front lip plasti dipped black
-Jp Replica 3 piece spoiler painted 202 black
-Replica roof spoiler also painted 202 black
-JDM window visors
-Always detailed by me using only the best products such as menzerna polishes
-Always hand washed
-Ls430 retrofitted headlights with Osram Xenarc CBI Bulbs, luxury mods brackets, and clear lenses. Amazing output, width, and color while retaining factory auto leveling
-Led drl/high beam bulbs
-Hid kit for the fog lights
-Custom bumper lights with led bulbs
-Led turn signals all around with led flasher

Interior
-White Led lights almost in the entire interior
-Custom White led lights around the navigation screen as well as the radio(might be the only one who has this)
-Very clean, no rips, no tears, non smoker car.
-Always used quality products such as Leatherique on the seats
-Custom illuminated door sills with a blue lexus logo
-Stock sub failed on me so ive replaced it with a 10" mtx mounted in a ported box in the trunk
-Dynamatted trunk and tirewell area

Suspension
-Tein flex coilovers..these are used and I personally think they might be getting tired although they are very clean. I had a custom set of covers made to protect them from dust and debris
-Daizen front and rear sway bars
-Tein front and rear stb although the rear is not installed due to sub box
-Daizen bushing set in the entire suspension
-Spc tubular upper front control arms
-Spc rear camber correction kit
-Ls 400 front big brake kit
-Stainless steel brake lines on all 4 corners
-New moog ball joints and outer tie rods
-Has custom front rca's done by me
-Supra auto LSD differential with the 3.76 gear
-Rh pro 2 piece welded wheels. 19x9 in front and 19x10.5 out back with almost new yokohama s-drives

Exhaust
-Apexi ws2 exhaust
-Recently installed megan racing y-pipe with custom extension
-Failrly new oem o2 sensors

Engine
-Injen black series intake
-Custom ground cables
-Always used royal purple oil
-Always had a transmission cooler installed
-Replaced oem fuel filter
-Replaced transmission screen and always performed a drain and fill using oem toyota fluids

I feel the car is very tastefully modified. I do have the stock intake, exhaust, rear end, suspension, and other items for someone who would rather, buy the car stock. I can also remove items such as the rear end or headlights for a lower price. I know what the parts are worth, so please dont try to lowball me. The only reason im selling the car is because I finally purchased and is-f and I dont have a need for three cars. This car was only driven in one winter by me, but after that ive always had a second winter car. It does have a few small imperfections, but for the age I think its soo much better than a lot of the newer cars ive looked at recently. I can discuss those further if you are seriously interested. The car had every single option from the factory except the chrome wheels. It is black on black with mark levinson sound system. All original body parts and vin tags in place. It also has a viper 2 way alarm with all the bells and whistles. Asking price is $8900 OBO. You can respond here or email me at strzalka0510@gmail.com if you are interested.

Long time reader first time poster, so pls go gentle this time.

To OP and other guru's

how would this handle ~15K miles per year between US and Canada given its age from reliability standpoint.

Mechanically I have had no issues with this car and dont expect any. What I would change is possibly the suspension, wheels, and rear end. Wheels are 19s and low profile tires so depending on the roads out there it might affect comfort. The suspension is also a bit harder than stock so I would consider going stock or a shock/lowering spring combo. I have oem suspension I can swap out. The rear end has a lower gear ratio than stock so that means quicker acceleration but lower top speed and also higher rpms at higher speeds. I have the stock one as well. None of these things "need" to be done, but its all up to someones preference. You can ask others here, but from what I have seen and from my ownership of this car..the drivetrain is one of the best.
