You cannot go wrong with a GS430! I actually have a 2005 just like yours! It has 139k miles and I recently purchased it from a client! The car is so buttery smooth and I cannot imagine letting go of it anytime soon! Congrats on the new Lexus

Even with everything needed I'd say it was still worth buying with that 4.3 V8. I bought my 1995 Lexus LS400 with 218k miles 5 years ago and it's now at 250k. Absolutely no problems with the engine or transmission it runs like new but had to put a lot into the suspension by 230k. Black on black to. That's exactly what my brother got on his 2010 Lincoln town car signature L

Nice purchase. I also have a 01 gs430. Brought mine with 228k miles two years ago. Have around 250k now. Love it. It’s easily one of my favorite cars I ever owned. It’s so smooth on the highway, even after I slammed it lol

@@BernonCars for sure! too bad the usdm gs's never got the 2jzgte motor.. however since you've got the 430 motor I think it will suffice!.. I think there was a rare version of the first gen aristos that had a ls400 1uz motor in it but those are unicorns. Also side note, Was your build inspired by that rare lexus SEMA concept from the 2000s called the is430.. basically an is300 with your drivetrain.. at least in terms of color choice and wheels I think the vibe of this build and that would be very similar

Lovely car! I bought a 2003 GS300 back in July and I didn't realize how bad my car is till I watched this video. I'm missing so many little parts all through the interior. Things like the amp cover in the trunk and the trunk carpet. My GS is also missing the Original mats in the front and the mat holders are broken or missing. Mine has 116k on it and it looks way worse than yours 😂
