  1. The antenna on my 94 GS 300 used to go to two positions when the radoi was on, but now stays at the maximum height. When the radio is turned off, it does not go down completely. About 6" is still showing. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? I've done a search and didn't find anything like my problem. Will I just have to replace the mast? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
  2. Wanted to thank everyone for the info. The Local Lexus dealer's inspection came back clean, only minor tems(wiper blades, fluids, etc.). I purchased the car last Thurs. and have been enjoying it ever since! Thanks again for all the help!
  3. Thanks for the help Chips. I really appreciate it.
  4. If there's no master keys at all, just a valet key, then you need to get a transmitter chip installed. The keys will come from the factory, as a Lexus dealer can get the key code. you might as well get a pair of keys, since the chip is more expensive than the keys (usually about $400-600 for the keys and chip). The cracking of the wood's kind of intermittent on 1st-gen GS 300's; I see them on models with 30K miles, and then I won't see them on cars with 200k miles. Go figure. My 1st-gen has it on the shifter, but it wasn't anything Super Glue couldn't handle, since it was cracked, but not shattered. I wanted to use the aftermarket wood trim kits, but the raised surface wouldn't allow the ashtray to close properly on another model I saw. Lexus dealers (usually) won't hand out prior service histories, unless you own the car. Personally, I think $7500 is a little steep for a car that's over 10 years, 100,000 miles, and an iffy service history with an airbag light on...but that's me. Moron. Thanks for the information and opinions. It's been a lot of help. Carfax came back fine, everything normal. I'm having a pre-purchase inspection at the Lexus dealer tomorrow. Thanks again for all the help.
  5. Thanks for the responses. I am running the Carfax today and looking for a mechanic to do a pre-purchase inspection. The slight vibration/sound seemed to maybe come from the tires when the steering wheel was not aimed perfectly straight. If I go to a Lexus dealer, will they be able to show/print out the service history? Thanks again for all the help!!
  6. Hi---I'm trying to decide if I should purchase a Gold 94 GS 300. I've always loved the looks of the first gen GS. The car has 147000 mi and the asking price is $7500. The problems are: No master key, but seller is purchasing one from dealer Airbag warning light stays on, is this a major problem? Seller is having it checked tomorrow Has service records up to 90k service, done by dealer, but none logged after that. The interior looks as if it was taken good care of. Only crack in wood by the bottom of the shifter. The car drove great. but noticed a very slight vibration when steering wheel is turned. I could really use some expert opinions on this car. Would the problems noted turn you off from buying this GS? Thanks for the help! ---Dlspring
  7. Looking to buy a Older Lexus, saw Gold 94 Gs 300 with 147000 mi for $7500. Exterior/Interior are in great shape. Only problems are slight wear in leather seats and the wood trim at the bottom of shifter is cracked. Otherwise the car looks and runs great. My major concern is that the Used car Dealer does not have any info about service and only has the valet key. He will have new key made at dealer. This has me a little concerned. What would you do? Is this a good price? I haven't had the chance to run complete Carfax yet. Free Carfax shows only 11 records. Thanks for the help!
