If there is a thread about 'i'm new and i have a question regarding a GS300 i'm purchasing' thread, i'm sorry, as i didnt use the search function. I just scrolled through 3 pages of the GS sub-forum to really only see 'what's a good upgrade for OEM tune-up' a bash thread about putting 22s on a GS and electrical problems.
I just wanted to know if there are any known issues with these as I am looking at two 03 GS300s to trade in my 00 Maxima for. I thought these would have coilpacks, but in that one thread found out they have wires. I know i need to make sure that the timing belt has been done, and if it isnt, i know i have to get it done/bypass the car. Both of them have right around 100k miles on them. anything i should be on the look out for thats common about these particular cars?
I'm not new to the Toyota family as i use to own a 88 toyota pickup with 280k miles on it before selling, and i know that Toyota has a good reputation for lasting a long time with very few minor issues. I just know that this car is a little more advance than my old truck especially electrically, and could possibly have a high possibility of issues going wrong with THAT aspect, but engine wise, i'm sure it should be a sound platform as its the dumbed down supra engine.
BTW, if curious as to plans i only plan to do coilovers and wheels and maybe upgrade the sound down the road with a nice set of components.
