Im in desperate need of help in what probs i should look for in the gs300 sport (once i bribe the mrs anyway!) when i go searching for one my budget will be between 3-5k for a good one (i hope so anyway.) and looking for one in black so i can pimp it up a bit too.

The sport alloys corode and buckle so check for steering vibration on test drive this seems to be the biggest gripe .have a look through this post as it covers same question http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...topic=15817&hl=

On my markII I was advised to check the cam belt had been done, the ball joints were ok etc. They were all perfect then the wheel bearing went!

You should find plenty of useful information in my first thread too:

I got a black one with the standard sport alloys, and 10" wide rears, thankfully they're in good condition and no vibration.

Feel free to have a look at my garage (link below).
