Default Preowned GS 350/460 - '07-11 Which One?

I have the opportunity to finally get a Lexus for myself after great success with my wife's GX 470. I grabbed a consumer reports and see some issues with the engine reported in the 07/08 models. Which is the best year or years to look for and are there any issues with the 460, I found a nice one that I'm interested in but want to go with the right one since I will have it for 8-10 years.

Thanks for any advice!

I agree...especially if you are really going to keep it for 8-10 years. if not I wouldn't get anything older than a 2011. These cars are pretty reliable but they do have some quirks and they can be expensive with no warranty.

And for the answer to you question...just go to the Lexus website then the owners portal...you can enter the VIN there too see the service info.
