Should I restore a 1999 Lexus GS300?
I have a gs300 I've been driving it for about ten years now. It has 400 000km (don't know how many miles). I have never had any problems with It (no major repairs) , some major problems occurred but "disappeared" without any repairing. I don't know how it disappeared, I went to a Lexus dealership to check it and they said I had to change something that would cost more than the car at the time (I forgot what, but I think it was braking system or transmission). Lexus told me that the car would be undrivable in a few months if I didn't fix it. It's been four years and the Lexus is still driving fine. I was scared the car would brake down so I brought a s600 Mercedes and sold it after three years of waiting for the Lexus to break down. I have a Honda Accord a nissan gtr and a Toyota Yaris my wife and I share the cars. I was wondering what must I do with the Lexus. I have a son turning 17 this year, and he's extremely into cars and he definitely wants the Lexus to be his first car. Giving it to him would mean I'm going to have to repair the sunburnt paint, suspension, change all tyres, fix braking system and more. My son has the thought of fixing the thing properly and maybe making it a VIP style or stanced car. So what's your opinion on it? Is it worth it? I would assume fixing price to be 10000 dollars
Ps the above was my father asking on my account, I'm the son he mentioned (Kevin)
