Default New Owner of 06 GS300 AWD

Hello Folks, new owner here. 2006 GS300 AWD 134k mi. Purchased Saturday and it had two owners with 29 service history from Carfax. Car is in immaculate condition and seems no one sat on the rear seat. Full NAV, heated/cooled seats, ML audio. Can is Flint Mica (1E0), and Ash interior. I will take some pictures this week, but it is amazing how smooth this car is!. I have traded my 200 Land Cruiser as it was literally drinking gas!

Did it have the ring job? If not, enjoy adding 2 quarts of oil every 1000 miles until it blows up in a smouldering heap of blackened carbon by 150K. You have looked for a 350. They are better in every way imaginable. I know, because I'm stuck with a GS 300 AWD and I hate it.

Really? That is how bad the GS300 is? Adding 2 qts of oil every 1,000miles?

It can be...its due to the fact that it was Lexus' first attempt at a DI engine and it suffers from design flaws. You might not have that problem but I strongly urge you to check your oil very often...
