Im 20 years old and im looking to purchase a GS300 or 400 between the years 98 and 200 now i have some things i want to know about them and if i buy one over a 100,000 miles is that really a good idea ive always been a acura Rl guy since i drive a 97 RL thanks if you can help me!

 

There are alot of clean GS's w/ 100k+ miles. If the one you're looking at has that many miles, the most important thing is service records. Make sure the 90k service has been completed (timing belt and water pump). Other than that w/ regular oil changes/service these things will run forever. Just be patient and GL w/ your search...

 

Welcome to CL

 

I just bought a 2000 GS4 w/ 120k miles about a month ago. I did a carfax check and the owner had receipts for all of the service work. These things run and drive better than most cars with less than 30-40k miles. They are rock solid! If you haven't test driven one yet, you'll be hooked after you do. Good luck with your search.

 

WELCOME I-Fly-GS4 & RLtoLexus

 

i found a 2000 GS4 w/ 102k for my brother. perfect body and only 1 single 1/2" scratch on the whole entire car. This older fella had records from the single dealership for every single 15k interval as well as all his oil changed and tires replacement and it's a CA car (no rust )

either way it's a solid car. 100k plus as long as there's records, it'll give you a piece of mind.

 

get the 400 and do all the research you can on it.clearly a + if you can get all maintenance records on it as well.

 

yup, a well maintained 400 would be spot on. if i was 2 do it all over again, i would get a spectra blue mica 400

 

oh i c ive been in the market for one for quite a while so this helped me out alot i guess it times 2 put my RL up for sale as i continue my search

 

good luck with your search! i just completed my own search last friday and got an 00 gs3.

 

you can put alot of miles on a Acura, I had a TLS, but you can pour them on a Lexus , like everyone has suggested maintenance is KEY good luck man

 

Looking at 2005 GS430 Blk/Blk. 53K miles for $26K. Mint condition, no dings, dents. Fully loaded ML/Nav 17", etc..., All dealer services. Not a CPO, but got clean bill of health from Lexus with 50K service recently. Fair price?

 

hah yea i know my acura is approaching 170.000 miles but it needs a good paint job and i have a feeling its gonna start going south so i wanna get rid of it while i have value on it
