Default 2007 Gs350

Purchase this as pretty much a one owner car, it was traded in an Acura dealership with 103,000 miles. A lady bought it, due to Covid stuff she was working at home and only put 4000 miles on in two years. I picked it up with 107,000 miles for $9800, which is a really good deal here in Arizona as I have been shopping around for months. I’ve been lucky to even see any of these for sale, anyways I’m coming out of a 2008 ES350, i’ve also owned 2001 LS 430, 2007 IS250 And currently on a 2010 RX 350. This one is black on black and had been dealer serviced since new, I love it! Only downside it’s the all-wheel-drive model, don’t really need that here in southern Arizona. The last downside is that it is black and I’ve never owned a black car, very difficult to keep clean and very hot here in the desert. I used to be very active in an S2000 forum, thought I would say “hi”.

Hi - I am not usually a fan of black rims on cars - however, this set up - especially in the night shots - looks really great!

Default Just Bought my first Lexus GS 450H from 2007 with 170.000 Kilometers

Hi Everyone,

I have just bought my first Lexus GS 450H and the first 300 kilometers have been a blast. I have bought the car with 170.000 kilometers and full service history with 6 month warranty and 12 months on the battery pack. This is the President version with every conceivable option including a towbar.


Their are a few things I want to adress in the coming weeks:
  1. Bleutooth music. I have been looking at a Grom VLine as I like the idea of Android auto with the OEM setup, but the tech that Grom uses is quite outdated. Can't find similar options with newer chipsets. Or is someone familiar with a better option?
    I don't like the Tesla Screen and would like to keep it as stock as possible.
  2. Tinting the rear windows. I really like the look and it isn't to costly.
  3. The headlights could use a polish.
I will be reading trough this forum for other cool addons and updates for the car.


Happy with the car

Default 2007 gs 350 awd

New to the forum! 😁

2007 3.5L all wheel drive in dark grey. It is my daily with just under 156k on the clock. I bought a few years and I love it. Basically its the perfect car for me.

Pretty much stock except for the Bluetooth module I installed behind the HU. Its in excellent condition overall minus a few small dings and rock chips.

Hey I'm new here too, happy to finally be part of CL!
Picked up this '07 GS350 from Virginia last May with 127k miles, drove 500 miles south from Michigan to get it - I wanted a RWD 350 for the lighter weight, less complexity and dynamics, and all the GS's up north are AWD.
It was sold new in NC at an elite dealer and has been taken care of since. All I've done other than an alternator and standard maintenance (alignment, trans drain and fill, oil, etc.) is four brand new OEM strut assemblies in each corner and a new oil pan (I was dumb and lifted it in the wrong spot because I couldn't see well enough) but otherwise it's been a turn-key dream grocery getter, and it's currently at 143k. It doesn't like Michigan cold, the last few days have been close to 0 degrees which is probably the coldest this car has ever been and it's LOUD for the first few seconds but the 2GR-FSE is a very ticky and mechanical sounding engine so it's just a quirk to get used to. I love it like my own child, I've wanted a GS since high school and I'm glad I get to drive this thing around.
As far as mods go, all I've done is the 4GS F-sport sound generator intake tube, and replaced the mufflers with Dynomax turbos and the resonator with one of their race bullet resonators. Makes the 2GR sounds like the proper high-strung Toyota gem it is, without drone or anything. OEM+ is perfect.
