Hello everyone! Stoked to be here, and proud to own a new (to me) 2008 GS350:
1. 2008 GS350
2. RWD
3. Graphite Grey
4. Beautiful 18s in great shape
5. Spoiler
6. Black with rosewood
7. First time Lexus owner, bought it recently at Carmax for $20K at 56K miles. Upgraded from a 2006 Acura TL; this car feels much more premium, and all around just a better car. Really enjoying it. Some interesting details I noted after living with the car for 3 weeks:
- Previous owner seems to have not waxed the car... ever. Car has a healthy dose of contaminants on the clear-coat, but it comes off after some clay and polish, revealing a gorgeous shine.
- When I got the car, directional headlights were non-functional. Carmax is reportedly ordering new ones to install on the car at their cost (thank goodness!).
- Driver's side spot is 'blinky' every once in a while when the door is opened... might need to replace light or contacts, but not sure which at this point. Will be asking the community for help on this...
- Rearview mirror-mounted garage door openers appear to be non-functional... can't seem to program them no matter what I do. Would immensely appreciate a forum link on that topic, if it exists.
- Car makes a pretty distinct 'clicking' sound at idle; dealer reports this is hydraulic lifters, and I took him at his word. This may be a dumb question, but maybe someone out there can confirm that...
Outside of those funky issues, car is fantastic. Great on-road feel, solid performance, and unbelievable mileage for a car of that size with that engine.
Coming to you all from Southern California! Looking forward to contributing to the community.

The "clicking" you here is the D-4S Twin Injection Fuel System, that is to say that the car has both port and direct injection. Direct injection has a very distinct "clicking" at idle.

7. I'll be the 3rd owner. Dealer I got it from put on the rims and the lowering kit. It has Tien s-tech springs which I'm actually having them return to stock because the front tires are rubbing pretty bad. Not sure what a good combo is but I'm sure I'll find the information here. The look and ride are great, it's too bad for the rubbing though.

Reason: Front tire size was wrong.
I just recentlypurchased a 2006 Lexus GS430. Rwd, 4.3L V8, Grey Exterior, Black interior. 73k miles. I love it so far! I'm looking for black rubber floor mats for the car.

Please check if in your glovebox when you open it in the left top you have a dvd player ... if not it will be very hard to get the navi running. It's pretty easy to find on ebay some full systems and modules however the navi function has more then only the central module. The dvd player loads a DVD with card data, there is a gps sensor, extra cabling etc :-) for us in Belgium it's strange to see a Lexus without GPS we could only get them with navi, specially the 450H as it was kind of the top model over here :-) are you sure it has no navi?
Greetings from Malaysia. Just got myself a GS300 RWD 2006 for circa USD23K. Yes that's how expensive cars are here. Love it so far. Shes replacing my BMW E60 which has been nothing but garage Queen. Anyways
