Señor, unfortunately, I did a final inspection before taking delivery. Pulled the engine cover and upper timing cover off, and found someone had replaced a good bit of the wiring harness with household-grade wires. Was quoted 8 hours labor plus $220 for a new harness to fix it. Decided it wasn’t worth the trouble so I passed on it. On to the next!

@@805NAVE the 435i is a cheap car I doubt it could hang with real cars like the 5 series with the optional sound systems those have subwoofers under the driver seats not in the rear deck like the Lexus. If you want to get blown away and change your mind sit in a range rover with the meridian sound system. You have to sure that its the optional one, looking at the head rests you should see aluminum speakers. Also the bowers and Wilkins in Volvos or revel ultima (aluminum speaker grills) in the new Lincolns. The best mark levinson I have heard in my opinion was in a 2006 GX470. GL

I love how people complain that new cars are all PLASTIC, when in fact these cars had 10x more plastics than the newer ones. Compared to older cars, new cars barely have any.

This review brings back good old memories. I had a 2002 with every option including Mark Levinson, factory HID headlights, and factory touchscreen infotainment (incredibly responsive). To this day, it is still the best audio system I've ever heard in a car. The newer Mark Levinson I sampled in the GX 460 doesn't seem to compare. The vocals, details, and soundstage was incredible. The cabin was dead silent and the 2JZ, as with any inline-6 or v12, inherently never vibrates by design. The AC was too cold. I had to constantly turn it off every few minutes otherwise all the windows would fog up from the outside. I would've loved to send it your way to review.

I hope to get many years from it and baby it, also driving much fewer miles than the usual. I need tint replaced. Other than that, AC is broken but I have no problems toughing it out there. The IS250 rides harsher than the IS 300s typically but it handles better, sporty. If I had a choice I'd settle for the IS 350 but I got a newer 250 since it was the cheapest and this version had 4 wheel drive for the snow.

11:26 mark levinson was available in the 2002 ES300 as an upgrade, my 2006 ES330 has it. I thought it was also available in the GS but maybe I’m wrong. “Lexus premium sound system” was what came standard on Lexus’s and you could option for Mark Levinson system as an upgrade. Both were phenomenal

I love these. Had a family member with a GS350* and it felt strong and planted. So sad they sold it off.

These cars are legends. 3k seems like a steal for this condition despite the mileage. This is the base Pioneer system. I believe the Navi equipped cars came with mark levinson audio.

Got one of these in 2015 with 77k miles on it.. Had it until 129k miles - got into an accident that totaled it (someone had a seizure while driving and hit me) a few weeks ago. Going to miss this car so much.

Try finding a Ford or a Chevy this old with no rattles and that still rides smooth.

the chevy trucks from this era are incredibly solid mechanically but they definitely rattle and shake a bit by now lol. I had 2000 chevy 1500 with the 5.3 LS with 300k miles that ran like hell mechanically, but ac was broken, odometer was broken, suspension creaked, and interior was cracked to hell. Still a great truck though. I wouldn't touch an american car from that era for anything tho, other than maybe a well kept Crown Vic.

I have an 01 GS300 with 191k miles. Runs smooth and powerful like this one. Love the car. So reliable. I'm looking for a new set of tires, any suggestion of which ones look and feel great on the GS300?

I have an 88k mile 2000 GS400 Platinum (improved leather, bird's eye maple trim, black chrome exterior trim, and unique wheels) in Millennium Silver over black. Last month of production. I truly believe it's a timeless design and couldn't ask for a better car. Speaking of the ball joints, the one thing that is crucial on these and other Toyotas with this suspension design is to use OEM ball joints (others are too risky and not to same standards at all) every 80-90k miles.

This was a issue on the earlier 98-00 models. www.clublexus.com/forums/suspension-and-brakes/310895-warning-to-all-2nd-gen-gs-owners.html it’s well documented on the clublexus forums.

@MrCarGuy 3 жыл бұрын

@@iheartgs400 This is a thread where people neglected to change them. These are bunch of people who let theirs go for way too long. Yes they changed the design, but the stress put on the ball joints requires even the updated (and slightly strengthened) newer part to be replaced every 80-90k miles. I wouldn't let _any_ car go without ball joints for as long as some of those people let them go.

A GS with no exhaust leak. That's a first. My 99 was leaking from the Y pipe 02 sensor being rusty. Mostly taken care of. Power steering pump took a crap at 204k but otherwise great comfortable decently fun car.
