Gs430 New Owner - Wow, What A Machine !

[djmike]

Hi'ya,

It's good to be back. Dj Mike 'ere.

Well, I've taken the plunge..... I had a MK1 sport which I've been running around in for the last couple months, but just couldn't resist. I've bought a 2001 - GS430.

All I can say is......... :D What a Beast!!! :D

This is definately a wolf in sheeps clothing. Talk about rapid !

Anyway, good to be back.... Just a couple of questions.....

Does anyone know what the warranty is on a 2001 GS430? The reason I ask, is that the wing mirrors are starting to dis-colour (like a purple blob!) on the inside.

I seem to recall having a problem with this on a GS300 Mk2 sport....

Will Lexus change them under Warranty (presuming there is still one left?)

The car is 2001-Y with 83k on the clock.

Pic's to follow.

It's GGGGGGGgggggggrreat! to be back.

L8r,

Mike.

P.S Not sure what other 430 owners are getting fuel economy wise, but I drove at an average of 85-90 back from London yesterday. It did 26.9 to the Gallon and did 370 miles on a full tank (cost £42). :winky:

Congrats on the new car. Another GS430 owner :)

As for the warranty your car is out as it's done over 60,000 miles unless it has an extented warranty on it?

On a run I get around 28 mpg.

Have a look in the Knowledgebase about cleaning the MAF sensor. I got an extra 2mpg once I cleaned mine.

Congrats on your car Mike :)

I refuse to believe u get more mpg on ur GS430s then my lil IS?!

[wills]

Question for Colin - what is the MAF sensor and how is it cleaned, an extra 2mpg would be a treat

thanks will

you might have trouble claiming as they normally stop at the first owner and are not carried on to the new owners.. read carefully the small print in your document..

The warranty goes with the car, not the owner. But I think Colin mentioned that it had run out anyway.
