20 pages of routine maintenance. All performed by the selling dealer Lexus of Columbus. Oil change twice a yr. With records. Timing belt replaced twice. ( at 36k then again at 52k). On and on. Amazing condition and service
record.

Looks good, no debating that, but I couldn’t spend $11k for a car of that age but that’s only my opinion. I’m thinking about selling mine to get a SC430 as a daily, but their prices are absurd. How do you get 20 pages of maintenance records in only 56k miles? Are they using 30 font lol?

oil change every 6 months. All routine Lexus service. 15k,30k,45k,60k,75k. All done in advance. Transmission. Brake radiator and differential fluids changed twice. 2 timing belts.
the thing has had over 40 oil changes. Totaling 20 pages of documented service work.
let’s see pics of your engine bay. Didn’t you say it’s just as clean. Must be nice

Yep, my 22 year old GS is just a clean as it was in my signature pic. You will be hard pressed to find another daily GS with close to 200k miles in my car's condition. Engine bay is spotless, original paint is in great condition and original 98-2000 oem chrome wheels look tasty. I don't have a current photo of the engine bay and I don't plan on snapping a pic, but the exterior of my vehicles should tell the full story. I like my GS, but I love my Benz even more 😁. My GS doesn't even look like your typical daily beater lol.

I’m 6’3 240…looks good but I can’t fit in that lol. I was looking at a 2006-2010 SC430 to replace my GS, but the interior looks cramped. My S560 is the only car that I’ve owned where I can fully stretch out my legs while driving, and it doesn’t impact back seat riders.
