pitfalls to look out for when buying a MK2 GS
-
Wheel vibration – The GS300 is sensitive to front wheel balance. Make sure you test drive the vehicle at 70-80mph
-
Front brake discs – These are prone to warping, any steering wobble under light braking from 60mph indicates a problem.
-
Ball joints – Perform full lock turns and try to drive over speed bumps and listen out of knocking noise or loose steering feel.
-
Wind noise – Check for noise at 70mph around sunroof, door, mirror and windscreen.
-
Door sensors – Open each door in turn and check the door open warning light illuminates on the dashboard. A problem with a sensor is costly as they are integrated into the door lock mechanism.
-
Battery – When starting, the engine should turn over very fast. If the car struggles to turn over may indicate a problem with the battery.
