FS: 98 Lexus GS400- Lightly modded- V8
2/3 Price drop to $8500!!!
Up for my sale is my 98 Lexus GS400. I purchased this vehicle in April of 2007 for $16,500 at 54xxx miles. This vehicle has been greatly maintained. I am the 3rd owner. First owner was a doctor, and the second owner works from home (reason for the low mileage at purchase). The only reason I am selling is because I receive a monthly car allowance from my employer and he feels my car is too “hot rod”. I love this car. It has 108,xxx miles. The plusses and minuses are listed below. Looking to sell before the end of the year. First $10k obo takes it. Please shared_pm with any questions. Thanks for looking.
