Description:

2002 Lexus GS430 214,900mi.

Excited to offer a nearly refreshed GS430. This was meant to be a complete refresh for me to use taking the family to dinner or vacation with occasional use as a “backup” to my fun daily. My wife is giving me her GX470 we’ve owned for 10 years. So, I need to let the GS leave the fleet.



 I’ve owned the GS since June of 2023. There are no known mechanical problems and many parts have been proactively replaced and everything works correctly. New Apple CarPlay stereo and aftermarket amps and speakers. The car drives very well, and the sound system is excellent. The previous owner did a motor swap in 2022 before I got it. Below are the parts I can remember replacing, but there are a lot of clips and things here and there that were replaced because I enjoy the attention to detail.



 NEW PARTS:

• Motor Mounts June 2023
• Genuine OEM power steering pump June 2023

 SPARES:
2 Front upper control arms.
4 OEM wheel and ok tires.
Other miscellaneous.
 
CONS:

+The paint on the hood is fading. The roof will likely follow soon. The bumpers both have some rash. My wife tells me this is fine, you can see it in the pictures, but I planned to repaint or put a wrap on.

+The tires are a size taller than stock so they rub the liner a bit, and limit getting super low with the coil overs. It’s easy to raise the coil overs about ½” and there is no rubbing at all.

PROS:

+Super reliable and safe platform with tons of aftermarket support.

+Tons of new parts including AC compressor, alternator, power steering pump, motor mounts, tires and brakes.

+CarPlay.

END:

Let me know what photos I can send you or documentation or questions.
