Buying a GS tomorrow. What to look out for.
First of all I have searched and I didnt get much luck on the 3rd Gen GS. The vehicles im going to check out has more then 225K miles. Private seller, clean carfax and everything done at Lexus Dealership which I called and they said nothing but good things. Now what do I look out for, im coming from BMW and I want something more reliable even though it has so many miles. Also minor rebuild at 197K miles. Thank you so much.

If it's a 2006 GS300, DO NOT do it. I almost made the mistake of buying an 06 GS300 until I read all the posts here about the oil burning issue. They're lucky they got 225K out of the car.

Lol relax, you guys make it seem like the 06 was like Armageddon. My first 06 had 350k KM and it the engine was running strong, just regular maintenance and you'll be fine. If you have extra money I would get the 350, I could've used the extra hp and updated nav but I don't regret the 06. Just make sure the engine is solid and accident free. My 06 would've ran for even more KM if it wasn't for another driver(another story).
