Repo, I got a 1998 GS400 with 130k. Doing the starter this weekend (fingers crossed)

Sweet, that Lexus GS just goes and goes doesn't it. I haven't had to replace my starter yet . . . but come to think of it I haven't had to replace anything else either, what a great car and a great company! Good luck with the starter project . . . shouldn't be too bad.

I can't wait to get rid of my problematic X and replace it with another rediculously dependable Lexus. Afterall, if I wanted to be a mechanic I would have gone to school for it.

I'm waiting for the GS350s to depreciate to 20k or so. That 3.5 v6 is a great engine (assuming the brakes work). It's hard to argue against the Lexus

Sorry for the threadjack
