Gs300 sport (1997)

[lockeyboy]

Long before the ls being on my list the gs300 sport was always a very nice looking car in my eyes 

ones come up for sale on eBay £400 but has an electrical fault which according to the seller needs a fix at £160

assuming that's true and looking at its mot history it looks like a pretty decent car

any thoughts?

no-one?

Perhaps provide a link to the eBay sale, would enable others to better judge the car?

Looks ok for the money assuming it is a cheap fix. 

Always baffles me why someone wouldn't get it fixed if it was that cheap, and sell it for double the money with a bit of a clean and polish. Are they just guessing what they fried?

Probably because it masks something worse?

I think that's probably the gamble, but possibly the seller just has too much to do  being a new dad?

its one thing a mechanic talking with authority but I wonder if they'd guarantee that that part would fix it

looks lovely though

The MoT history doesn't read like a car well looked after...

Have to agree that's a dreadful MOT history. Not one I would spend anytime going to see.

It's gone now

i think with a little tlc and an nice polish this could double its money

or cost it's owner double the purchase price
