So while browsing around on Facebook Marketplace I came across an ad with a very attractive price. It was a 2000 Lexus GS300 with.... 360,000 miles on it. It was sitting for a couple years and was almost 2 hours away from me. I went and fell in love. Not perfect. Engine and tranny do not leak, but "sweat" oil out, if you know what I mean. Nothing a few new oil seals and gaskets can't fix. Engine bay was full of spider web, but no rat's nests! (YES!) Obviously had tree sap all over it, after sitting outside for so long. So under close supervision from owners I quickly brought the car to life, as I am familiar with 2JZ-GE Inline six engine. Owner was surprised... After a couple rounds in the neighborhood I decided to pull the trigger on it. Basically this car comes out to $500. Best part? I drove it home for two hours and it didn't miss a beat after 360,000 miles and sitting outside since 2016. Lexus quality.
I will periodically update this thread with what repairs and upgrades I make to new-to-me $500 car. Super excited. Here it is after a quick wash. Yes that is a dent on the rear driver side door... Door and window function without issues, no water leaks either.
