Hi all,
I've been browsing the forum for several months whilst looking for a Mk1 GS300 Sport.
I've joined now i actually have the money together to buy when i find the right car!
I would like to know if there is a list of common faults with the later '96-'97 Mk1 or anything that a seller might typically try to hide on these cars. Also parts costs for such common faults would be handy.
I am a very competent home mechanic & know what i'm looking for in any secondhand car but specific pointers are always very handy especially with such an expensive & complex motor.
My budget covers a late Mk1 with some service history, though not "a minter". Typically £2500 - £3000 eBay money.
Many thanks & i look forward to showing off the new car when i find it!
Cheers, Jay.

Thanks for that!
I was aware that the £200 a-side Upper wishbones tended to be an unseen problem, but recently heard about the "ABS actuator switch"? Any basis to this or is this person being a bit pedantic?
I've only ever seen 1 GS300 broken down on the hard-shoulder so i know general day-to-day reliability isn't an issue.
Still looking...
