2006 Lexus GS430 with just under 100,000 miles. All services are up to date and the car is in great shape. Is there anything that I should look out for? Do these cars have any faults. I have done some research and seems they are pretty bulletproof. Drove a 2001 IS300 to 150,000 miles before I sold it. Only "problem" was the 02 sensor causing the CEL to come on. Im pretty excited to have found one of these in my price range. Any input would help.

 

depends on price....

those are probably mostly highway miles.

 

Its priced right around 20K.

 

Seems pretty used almost 30k miles a year. Take it a mechanic and get it checked out. Good luck

 

fully loaded?

 

Whoa.. still a lot of miles for 20k...

 

Fully loaded with every option. Has upgraded wheels from Lexus as well. I believe they are called spyder or something. It looks amazing, the interior is mint.

 

no worries about mileage.

that engine can go 500k

 

Yeah im seriously considering it. I just need to figure out what I want to do with my old car. Does this car have any known faults... Like the CD changer in the 01-02 IS300, the transmissions in the 99-00 RX300, and the ball joints on the GS300/400?

 

no.

just a bunch of rattles.

some people have side mirror motor failure.

inside electronics are pretty solid

Inquire whether the Timing belt, and Iridium spark plugs had been replaced already, needs replacing when you get close to 100k mark (430s only).

 

Im also looking at an IS250 with around 70k miles for around the same price. The GS430 is a world of difference but I do like the IS as well. Ive wanted one since they came out, but Id rather get the IS350 if I had the choice.

 

Since you're in Cali, you must be looking at the one in the Valley area where there advertisement says 'too nice to wholesale'. That car does look superclean. I wa considering that car too but decided otherwise. Go for it! I think they can do better in the price because it's priced right at bluebook. Dealers are really hurting right now so strike a deal with them. Good luck!

 

Thats the one... It does look really clean. I looked up bluebook and was surprised they were priced right at. Most cars usually are above it. What do you think I should be able to get it for? Maybe $19,000 or $20,000?

 

I would try to et the car for 18-16k. There is nothing worse than a very high mileage luxury car. when they break its gonna be a bish
