Default 2006GSweet

Just bought my wife a 2006 GS in great shape:
76K miles
Black
Spoiler
Mark Levinson Sound
Nav with ver 9.1 installed - version 12.1 on the way.
Light tan interior.

It does have a low pitched hum that is not related to car speed. Does get louder at higher speeds.

Anyone have this issue?

Dealer service man said it could be tires.

Also Automatice trans mount

Or a wheel bearing.

But we do love the car. Not so crazy about the Nav limitations while in motion, but I understand version 12.1 might get the "overide" function back.

Hi everybody! Total noob here...first Lexus.
2007 Gs 350 AWD
67k miles
Black sapphire
Nav with Mark Levinson system
Spoiler
Cashmere interior
Stock 17"s (for now) in my dreams I drop some vossen's on it...
Was looking at an acura sh awd but found this gs with less than 100,000 miles on it which is pretty much unheard of within like 300 miles of where I live. Jumped on it so quick I actually have 5 lease payments left on my 2012. So glad to be here, hope to learn a lot and hope I made a good choice! I'll get pictures up as soon as I can, but weather here in Michigan has been absolutely terrible the last 3 weeks!

After totaling my 09 IS250, I decided to get something bigger - the GS350. Didn't like the body style of the 4th gen so went with the 3rd! Got this car basically at dealer cost too so couldn't pass it up!

1. GS350
2. RWD
3. White
4. 20" Vossen VVS082
5. Spoiler
6. Grey/Black
7.

2010 GS350 AWD. Purchased in May 2013 from the original owner. Mileage was 28888. Exterior is Starfire Pearl, interior is Parchment. Equipped w/ Nav, spoiler, AFS. This is my first Lexus and I love the car. The original run-flat tires were replaced with Goodyear Assurance ComforTred Touring and the ride quality is much improved, also quieter. I just passed 31000 miles and all is well. I had the VVT recall performed in November. This is a third car so the mileage will not accumulate very quickly.

Thanks! I discover more great things about this car every day.

Tires are standard size, 245/40R18; not sure what you mean by "offset"?
