As for the engine, I've not had any problems. I'm not versed with the loud tick at idle, so hopefully someone else in this forum can help you out. Ask Twong1200. he's my good friend and was a Toyota master mechanic in a former life! He's also a moderator in this forum.

Make sure you play with the REC to fresh air button with and w/o A/C. Mine had the gnarly jackhammer rattle inside the glove compartment and didnt' know what it was. The salesman told me it's a simple fix and that the in-cabin filter was installed incorrectly. He then proceeded to play with it, and the noise went away. I thought the problem was fixed, but the noise came back 2 wks later. since I bought it used, and opted not to purchase the extended warranty, I'm now screwed. The noise is inconsistent as I can go a full week without a problem.
Someone recently posted a fix using epoxy for the broken clip that is the cause of the noise.

Also, my side mirror gears broke down 2 wks after I bought the car so when I took it in, the dealership did cover the cost of that. However, my glove wasn't making the rattle at the time, so they couldn't justify fixing it as well. These were the only problem I've had. It's an 07, fully loaded, rwd, 31k miles. Good luck!

Lexus Corp. also picked up the tab for fixing the front brake squealing noise for the third time.
They didn't have to because the car had 60k miles.

The body style itself should age well, as with most older Lexus models. The new one will obviously be more "stylish" but I don't think the 3GS would look that outdated because of it.
