New Gs300 Series 1 Sport Owner

[Jock]

How much did you get it for Steve... If you don't mind me asking

About 8k?

[Steve]

no... 6800 after haggling! on a 97 too!

[Jock]

:D Bargain! :D

[Steve]

for a faultless car it was yes... very well maintained too.

[mudzs]

that is a good deal steve whats the mileage like.i would have thought around 100k for that price as that is cheap for a sport in good nick

[ColinBarber]

Book price is around £8,000 with 60,000 miles for private sale.

[ColinBarber]

I think Steve's has 90k on the clock.

[Steve]

colin is correct

beauty is that i do hardly any miles so the depreciation from now on will be gracefull whilst all the other lower mile cars catch up.

could not help it and had to take a leisurely drive through some country lanes tonight....

[Steve]

i did 130 miles on £15 worth of optimax 3/4 was traveling at highish speeds on motorway and the rest around town

my soarer would do 180 miles and cost £30 on all motorway driving!!! Turbos are juicy!

so... i think i could do 160 miles for £15 on 60 mph motorway driving?? Anyone think so?

What are all you other GS owners getting?

[chips229]

COOL MOTOR Steve,one of them did cross my mind but memorys of old TOPGEAR programs with my old ls400 on there,think one of the reasons i bought the 400 was cos of the 50pence test they did balancing it on the engine when running. a week on nearly and im very happy with mine :D

[Steve]

i looked around at LS400's... but the prices i was getting them at they all turned out to be a bit ruff... I would love to own a mark III... the GS was a second option.. but I am more happy with this then i thought i was going to be.

[chips229]

Im glad you got what you wanted Steve,i looked at afew and like you said there abit few and far between,i ended up with a 2 owners car a real honest one with all the history.The lady had it up together apart from the body work,which for what i paid for the car can be tidyed up in the near future.its just so quiet and relaxing to drive,and what with my driving ban last year its just so easy to drive slow and to the speed limits.

[UKPulse]

Sounds like you've bagged yerself a nice'un there Steve :)

Will have to try & make it to meets in the TT just to remind you what you're missing :P

[Steve]

was sad seeing the car being driven off and I was left in the middle of the street 380 miles away... no taxi's when you need one.

was a sniff sniff moment

[chips229]

That sounds like the trouble i had the nice cars are miles from where you live.

[Steve]

old motor was exported the Sweden... Point of delivery was Newcastle

new car was 90 miles away and the car that took me to my new motor was the my first lex.. older members would recognise it.

[ifraz]

Nice one Steve. Sounds like you got yourself a bargain motor.

Looking forward to seeing it at Gaydon, but before then....get some piccies up :P

[Fidgits]

[SteveAudioX]
