1998 PDW Lexus GS400 (HID's, Audio, Exhaust,Cold A/C)
UPDATE 10/31 PRICE DROP $4k without 20'' wheels and subs/amp. This will be the final price drop and is well worth @ least $5k stock. I'll just keep it as my daily if there's no interest.
Name: Artie
Location: RVA
Means of contact: (804)986-4393
Price: $4K FIRM without the subs/amp and 20" wheels
Only interested in trades with cash on top
Description: I acquired this in a trade earlier this year and with the only problem being a slight rough idle. I ended up replacing both OCV valves and the spark plugs and it's been running great ever since. I absolutely love this car and anyone who knows me will agree. I wash/clean it religiously and it's always garage kept. It is a 4.0 V8 but it's not too bad on gas. It uses premium and is only $60 to fill up which I only have to do maybe once a week. It's not perfect by any means and I will list all bad honestly and to the best of my knowledge, but keep in mind this is my daily and it's never given me any problems. I'm just ready for something else.
Engine:
- 4.0 V8 just hit 185K it's a Toyota
- Recent trans flush with amsoil synthetic
- Recent oil change, tire rotation and new brake pads
- 5 speed automatic with paddle shifter-like buttons on the steering wheel that are pretty cool when you use manual mode
Mods:
- 20" TSW wheels are now plasti-dipped black, I can text pics upon request
- 6000K low beams
- 3000K fogs
- LED 6000K driving lights
- LED License plate lights
- Windows tinted, legally
- New M2 performance cat-back exhaust (sounds great not too loud, not too quiet)
- New Pioneer double din with plenty of features (the parking brake switch is kind of in an ugly location but never bothers me or gets in the way)
- New Power Acoustik 12's in ported box with 4500W Power Acoustik Gothic amp (it thumps like 15's, yo)
- Has newer model 17" Factory Lexus wheels, minor curb rash with Dunlop runflat tires about 65% tread life
Interior:
- Power everything including sunroof, seats, and steering wheel
- A/C blows cold, Heat blows hot
- Over all about a 7/10 just cause i'm picky. Some cracking in the seats no rips or tears.
Exterior overall about a 7/10 front and rear bumpers have some chips/blemishes and there's holes in the trunk from removing the wing the other day since it was loose and rattling.
Now for the bad:
-Car is titled as a water damage vehicle but I honestly don't know why and I invite anyone to see it in person. There's no signs of rust, stains, smells, or electrical issues at all aside from the heated seats not working. My guess is someone left the sunroof open on a rainy day. I may run a Car-fax to see, It just honestly hasn't been an issue.
- CEL comes and goes from the aftermarket exhaust, haven't really had the time to look into it and really hasn't been an issue. I have a OBD scanner on hand for interested buyers.
- I got a brand new key fob from the dealership for a steal but the range isn't too great
That's it for the bad. Again this is my daily and I wouldn't put my daughter's life in harms way if this vehicle wasn't safe or road ready
Some of the pictures were taken before I removed the wing or rattle canned the front grille. Also some were when it was dirty and with junk in the backseat. I can provide more pics upon request.
First Picture is how it will come on factory upgrade 17's with Dunlop runflat tires (TSW's can be sold with car for the right price)
Thanks for looking! Feel free to call or text me with any questions or concerns and please keep your negative comments to yourself.
