Hi all:

Picked up our baby (and my first car purchase!) about 2 months ago now... Grey '07 GS 350 AWD with black interior on 17s. Seems to have been well taken care of has previous owner spent a fortune regularly at the dealerships.

Default 2006 Lexus gs430

Hey guys, haven't posted in over a year and a half but seen this post and figured I'd chime in! I have a 2006 Lexus GS430 matador red 137k miles, bought it in Dec of 2011 with 70k miles and this is the most reliable car that I've ever owned next to my 2000 Toyota Avalon and my 96 acura integra GSR. I'm just now getting into modding the car since some of the OEM equipment is starting to fail. One of my cats went out, and I didn't like the ridiculous price that my mechanic quoted me just to replace one so I fired him after 3 yrs and he has been the only one to touch my car since I've owned it, luckily no major repairs has ever been needed.

So I've already purchased the Tanabe Medallion Touring catback exhaust system, and magnaflow hi-flow cats. I also will be replacing all 4 o2 sensors (b4 and after the cat) since that cats will be down to put in the new ones! Should be dropping the car off this weekend to get that done...also getting Tanabe sustect pro five w/TEAS in about a month! That should be real fun! Then I'll be doing new ignition coils and fuel injector service...let me know what you guys think about my future set up!

Default 2007 gs 350 awd

I love this car. Just purchased 2 days ago and we still haven't figured everything out! Its a little dated, but I figured it was an excellent place to start for my first luxury vehicle. I'm here primarily to learn more about my new baby, common problems and things to lookout for etc. etc, and also to see what other people have done with theirs. Planning for new wheels in the spring and some tint asap. The interior is black with heated and cooled seats. The wood grain is kind of red/brown, 6 disc with premium sound package.

Hi guys. New user just bought my latest gs (had a few 1st and 2nd gen gs before)

1. 2005 gs430
2. RWD according to the way it spins the tyres
3. Platinum silver
4. Has the 18s in the pics-for now
5. Has a Spoiler
6. Interior is black and cherry red
7. Car was a demonstrator for the first 20 thou ks then bouhht by the prior owner who was too impatient to wait for a ordered car. He then put a whole 37 thousand on the clock in 8 years of owning where i have taken over. The cars in amazing condition compared to everything else i looked at before buying. Very happy with my purchase
plans are to get it low on some rad wheels and using my mad fabrication skills build a nice sounding exhaust and a induction pipe and use it to tow my 79 import corolla that im restoring
8. PICS ill put below
9. I'm from the world's most liveable city Brisbane, Australia!
10.

Default 2008 GS 450h

Hello CL
I just my Lexus a few days ago...

2008 GS 450h
RWD
Starfire Pearl
Stock 18s
Spoiler
Int - Ivory
Previous owner put 62k and serviced at Kuni Lexus ( Denver, Co)
Man I love this car in first few days I have owned. I bought my wife a Wht/Blk 2014 GS 350 about a year ago so yes we have matching white Lexus's or Lexi. My pops owns a 2004 SC, I was a Honda guy put he has turned me. Hoping to learn alot from other members.

1st question to all - Do 20" rims change the ride of the car? I want to change the rims but I am sure how it will feel with 20's vs 18's.

From the picture below you can see I'm on 20" rims. I use these in the summer and I have a set of GS460 18" rims that I use in the winter. The 18" rims ride better, but I can't say that the 20" rims are so bad that I wouldn't suggest it. 20" rims look really good on our cars. If you can swing it, have both and ride the 20's in the summer.. You won't be disappointed.

Congrats on the purchase... Good choice!!

Thanks man. I was pumped when I found it... Enough to drive 6 hours to pick it up. Wasn't sure if it was worth that or not but I think the deal was good and it is in amazing condition.
