I'm 31 and I bought my 06 GS300 June 2010. I got a nice Honda Accord for 6 years and I was looking to upgrade to 2008 Acura TL-Type S and I saw my GS300 in autotrader. I bought it a week after I couldn't make a deal with the Acura seller. I like every aspect of the GS.

Isn't there anyone else over 40 with one of these?
I've hit 60 this week. Still feel the 430 is slow after my Soarer vvti, is nitrous the best way to get a kick from the V8?

I'm 36. I bought this car as a gift for the wife, only to realize that she preferred to drive my Hummer over the GS. Hence, the GS became my daily driver!

Sounds like we have some haters on the younger crowd. Btw what's wrong with financing, I have great credit, when I was 27 I bought a house a brand new f150 a slightly used gs 300 with a few thousand down, all with no college degree and a blue
collar construction job. I now still have payments on my car but my truck is paid for. My 06 GSXr 1000 is paid for and my maxima is paid for. So are the 3 sets of wheels that have been on my car, along with the other mods. I wasn t born with a silver spoon in my mouth and didn t take equity out of my house to pay for a car in cash. I think I ve done alright

Was 53 when I bought our GS300 in '06. Had owned MB's (300 and 320E's since 1986, and our '98 SL500 since 2005 which we still have, and love). GS was our first Lexus product, and very pleased with it.

Don't get me wrong not hating just amazed at how much parents will dish out! I mean my pops has helped me with my new car but most of the money I had to come up with along with going to Law School. I was just saying I wish my parents would have paid for a car for me!
