The pricing is very attractive but take it to consideration how much you will need to spend on it. | sad. Lexus used to be synonymous with quality and reliability  |

^ I've emailed and called that guy a few times.. he must be one of those CL sellers who don't know how to remove or update an ad. It must be sold, otherwise he's incapable of returning messages.

^ I've heard if you have a collector plate with "illegal" mods (i.e the brakes, diff, chip) and you get in an accident, they'll void your insurance if they find the mods during the repair as you had to lie to get the collector status, is this just fear mongering or is their truth to it?

So keep this in mind if you are planning to have your gf drive the car. IMO, manual steering for even a car like that requires some degree of arm strength at low speeds.

The GT3 is clean minus the DME report, I haven't seen it personally but was told it has many high range over rev's.
I did call the dealer in January but decided not to pursue... I prefer the 997.1 RS unless the .2 RS is a rare color
Having said all that, at 140K CAD it's still a better buy than going south fo the border, even after you factor in the 4.1L conversion
