My 2008 GS 350 with 310, 000 miles never had one issue. I only had to replace the water pump one time and just recently changed out the alternator, other than that, this car has been bulletproof. Best car I’ve ever owned.

I’ve owned a GS430, two GS450h and now own a GS460 with 56, 000 miles! Love it and can’t see me ever getting rid of it!

My ‘06 has 215k miles and still drives like new. I live in Irvine CA and see this Gen often which tells me the reliability has maintained throughout the years.

I was looking at one of these for my girlfriend at an auction recently and was really surprised how much of the tech on my MK4 GS was also present on this car. Keyless entry. Adaptive headlights. Radar cruise. Very impressive and well specified car for its day.

I really like your factual and realistic views on vehicles. New and Used. Thanks again!

08 GS300 here with 280k km, I bought it 6 years ago, drives like a charm.

I bought an S190 GS300 three years ago and love it. It had 112, 000 miles on the clock and after I got a few things fixed up on it, it drives like a dream.

Second hand, they’re much cheaper over here in the UK as it isn’t a well known car, so sellers have a hard time finding a buyer. I do occasionally see others on the road, either GS300’s or GS 450’s, but they’re hardly a common sight. For my money these are the best looking of all the GS series.

My favorite Lexus sedan of all time. Too bad by the time I could afford one I needed an SUV.

[davidglad]

Thanks for explaining the GS and whether a value proposition exists for it in the used market. At least on the surface, wondered if a discontinued Lexus was worth considering.

Let me tell you...I own nearly all the GS models (300, 350, 430, 460, etc) and I must say, the 2nd gen GS is by far the BEST model I have ever owned! This 3rd Gen GS is nice but the leather is thinner, engine is louder, interior lights are darker, etc and just doesn't have the overall joy I feel when I am driving any of my 2JZ or UZ engine models. My GS350 is 2009, white and it looks nice but doesn't see the road nearly as often.

I own a GS300 2006 with 212, 000 miles. I get 35 mpg on the highway. Great car.

[gergelyturcsanyi]

I'm using a GS430 since 2016 as a daily, and still good. Maintained by the dealer. Bought it with 54k miles, now at 125k miles.

You’ve been cranking out vids!! Just wanted to say think you for continuing to post up about previous generations centralizing information. Much appreciated. 🤙🏼

As a current owner of a 2008 G460 I must say this is a total sleeper! I’ve owned 60 cars over the last 15 years and it’s been my favorite all around vehicle in terms of speed, comfort, reliability, and uniqueness. Mine is a gem with low miles that was extremely well taken care of by the first owner. I even got rid of my 2017 GS350 F-Sport fully loaded because the V8 paired with the 8-speed is absolutely phenomenal! I also recently met someone who regrets selling their 460 for the new GS which confirms my theory. You won’t understand until you drive one. It still impresses me everyday I drive it. Can’t beat the fun for the money! Buy one and thank me later! 🇯🇵👌🏼

My 06 GS300 just reached 80k miles, ive had it for over a year now and no issues so far :-) greetings from Sweden.

[yteri]

I have the GS300. Best daily ever. Feels like the car is sliding. You should get F-sport sway bars front and rear. Be on top of your maintenance ahah

[AC-ygzf]

I have owned this car [450h] for 5 years and i can tell you that this is the best car i have ever driven. I have driven new cars from Mercedes and BMW and cannot see the justification changing mybold Lexus.
This generation GS drives better (carpet ride) than the newer generation from my own opinion.

[commandertopgun]

I love this video & honest unbiased review of the 2006-2011 Lexus GS, wow, what a wealth of information, thanks for sharing

[carlosfilho]

I own a 2008 GS450h with 42k miles. Just replaced the 16 year old hybrid battery for a new OEM. The car is good for another 16 or even more, as the previous owner barely drove his car and it was seating in his garage without use, which is really bad for a hybrid battery. A side from oil, brake pads and spark plugs change, did not need to do anything else. It is mechanically perfect. And boy, this things accelerates like a beast. It brings a smile to my face every single time. Cannot recommend this car enough.

[feeldy]

You forgot to mention, that 6 cyl in the previous model was 2JZ. 😉 Which till these days is loved used abused and tuned ✌️
