How is the car? Do you still have it?

Dee Cook Noted. Debating between this or an IS 350.

Agreed

My 2001 GS430 has just over 300k and still going strong, with proper maint. it'll last another 300k!

by "after market parts", what part are you referring to exactly ?

@slickkapone THAT part

Cam Life Right? Now they look like a bunch of snotty bitches.

@YungGBone124127134 LS500 '18 is awsome, but IV gen. GS 350 is way too "weak" looking compared to III gen GS's.

@@kin9julian No 4th gen GS350 F Sport look awesome

@@drj2039 Nope ) Probably that's one of the reasons why GS's are no longer to be produced. Anyway everyone has his opinion on the design of anything, so I won't argue.

@@kin9julian nah its more due to sedan sales in general declining

Please make a walkaround video of the car.

Sounds amazing!

Do you Steel have the lexus gs430? How works today? Sorry my english !

@@guillermoverde81 mine works great it has 233k miles

238k now

@@gabegarcia7779 how is the power for everyday commuting? Does it take off from stoplights pretty easily or do you really have to get on it? We have Crown Vics at my job that are very responsive around town, not the fastest cars, but they move very efficiently and effortlessly. Was wondering if the GS was like that?

@@gabegarcia7779 my Ls 430 is at 233k still running strong

Yea haha

U can find them for 2-4k now those Lexus are rare 7-10k

@@Dd-mt5ol There's honestly no point in getting this when the GS350 for the 2007-2011 has the same horsepower in a V6.

@@IIOctaneII good thing you said this, because I actually found a gs430 and will instead wait to get a gs350

@@kingdoge69 is not the same

@@guillermoverde81 That's true, the uz V8 engines will last forever and no doubt have a fatter torque curve, but...they do need timing belts and unfortunately the gs430/460 use the same brake actuator and abs unit as the Ls460. And they apparently had defects in their design and run $2-$3k to replace. Which kills the used car value in my opinion (I almost pulled the trigger on a gs460 a few years ago until I read about the issue).

wao..wots 📼

Toyota4Life Lexus claimed 5.7 0-60 and car and driver also got it to go 60 in 5.7. I think they tested this car at 1 mile above sea level. My mom has one of these and it's really quick

My guess is the tires were some all seasons, it can probably squeeze the 5.7 out with modern rubber and better tires in general.

They started at half throttle when testing because traction control limited power.

Aww you still alive? How has ur life been since this comment

Which generation?

+penvon FUCKING NOT THIS ONE!!!

If they even brake down lol

I agree I love the Lexus GS 300 too but I have a Toyota Avalon 03 and it ride Good

James Bethea ... Wich Ones Are The Easy To Work On Years?

how fast is your 0-60?

you know that is the true

in awd seems accurate lol with all that wheelspin on a 4000lb. car lol

@@JDMHazei got 5.6 sec

@@Mike.3GS yeah, I could believe that, because you can get about 6.3 in a LS 430 so I imagine this should be at least half a second faster

@@JDMHaze If you try to break boost it with PWR mode and manual mode you could get 5.9. mine was a little lighter because of the aftermarket wheels,brakes, etc but sadly it got totaled so now i have a 06 GS430 with 98K miles and it def feels quick

That would make it the GS460 ;-)

This is more than an old man's car. This car is just waking up at around 135 mph. I found a pristine used GS 460, the rarest showroom model Lexus ever made. I accidentally light up the back tires at least a few times every week. The torque and power on the engine is far more than what anyone needs. With slightly wider rear tires, I have gotten to 60 in 5.12 seconds with premium fuel. Not the fastest, but for a used car at $28,900 with 12,000 miles and 110 mph at 3000 rpm? You can't go wrong. The Accord V6 6 speed is a fantastic car, however I'd take a used GS460 any day over the Accord...

Well its old man car because they the only ones to afford it. Im 28 now and I love this car.

Not to mention that the body style of the car is to die for. It looks more luxurious than 100k Mercedes.

@The Stig's English Cousin Hi, do you still have it? I am looking to buy one and was curious about the potential problems, other than the battery which I can replace or source the parts myself. Any issues with the AC and generator for example?

drive slower lol

Not true different torque ratios the 350 awd has 274 ft lbs the 430 has 325 your welcome

I noticed that. It actually shares the platform with the crown

Not platform. Profile. As in styling. They are similar. John Davis is definitely not a clown. He’s the most famous automotive host in America.

@@mervinprone Very minor styling similarity in the swoop past the rear side window. That's it. Just because John Davis got this sweet gig back in the 70s doesn't make him good. PBS = government job, hard to get fired from.

MrFuchew you're wrong about the glare. My gs300 darkens and lightens the gauge cluster in accordance with the sun in the exact same way as Auto-dimming mirrors function for headlights behind you. You may want to get yours checked out if it doesn't work. I agree with your wiper speed statement. Definitely an odd functionality there.

@@waqarahmad567 i'm not speaking on the dash cluster i'm referring to the actual plastic top of the dash. The hard plastic dash just under the windsheild. I have since noticed that many other cars have more of a matte dash to avoid the glare

MrFuchew you’re right about the glare , it’s bloody dangerous but rectified by a dash mat / glasses . Don’t have any dramas with the wipers though , putting them on auto seems ok for most conditions . Just bought my 2005 gs 300 a couple of months ago .. loving it.

Windshield rattle and inevitable "check vsc, trac, engine light trio. I know exactly what you mean with the glare, didn't bother me so much. Never figured out the wipers myself, I think rain sensors render intermittent settings useless. In any case, one of, if not the best car I have ever owned.

However the GS is still running solid with little to no issues...many of them in the 200k mile range in fact...can't say the same for the Infiniti cars

@@mike_t_007 true that

lol except on resale value, quality, and extra options. My old 92' sc400 STOCK with 225k murdered my buddies 96 SS that had only 60k and his pala had an exhaust and K&N.

Jeremandre no way in hell LT1 94 to 96 Impala SS is going to be this thing I had the older Lexus GS400 and I used to rape LT1 Impalas in that thing I even took out a few Challengers and RT Chargers the only car I got beat by was the SRT8 but not by much

Jeremandre Granted if you can get over the fucking finish line. Stupid kid .

got da 07gs350 n im taking all races

I doubt its even faster...and your trans wont last over 175k i bet. I am a GM family raised fan but no way can any GM hold a candle to any Lexus. I own both...only GM is 69 Z28 and 09 Tahow loaded. I have owned over 30 cars/trucks and Toyota/Lexus were the finest.

Did you type this while waiting in your bmw mechanic’s waiting room?
